Why these prices?
Gamalytic charges $25 / $75 for comparable tiers. We sit deliberately below: Starter $19 reads as serious tooling, not a toy (where $15 would), and Pro $49 stays accessible to a solo studio while undercutting Gamalytic Pro by a third. Featured $199 prices off the value of one inbound submission lead, not the cost of a slot.

Pricing questions
- Isn’t the free tier enough?
- Free covers browsing and the full white-box sales breakdown — that stays open for everyone. Starter unlocks the operational payoffs: publisher submission emails and contacts, acceptance-rate distributions, full studio history, and a deeper relationship graph. If you’re actively pitching a publisher, those are the pieces you’re paying for.
- How is this different from Gamalytic or VG Insights?
- Those tools hand you a single black-box number. Every estimate here expands into the formula behind it, and we map the relationships between studios, publishers, games and funding — not just one data point. We also sit below Gamalytic’s $25 / $75 on price.
- Can I pay annually?
- Annual billing (pay 10 months, save ~17%) is rolling out shortly. Monthly plans have no lock-in — cancel anytime from your account.
- Can I cancel anytime?
- Yes. Monthly plans are month-to-month with no lock-in; manage or cancel from your account’s billing portal. Annual plans run for the year you paid for.
- Are the sales numbers official?
- No — they’re modeled from public Steam data using a documented white-box method, and labeled as estimates. The point is that you can audit every adjustment rather than trust a black box.
