For independent game studios, it offers a suite of research and analytics tools spanning idea validation, market analysis, and live-game performance tracking. The tools replace manual market research and post-launch guesswork for studios moving from concept to live game.

15% revenue share on creator-partnered games; subscription pricing for Research and Sonar tools; per-game, CCU-based pricing for the Aqua live-game analytics tool.
Go-to-market
Creators submit gameplay loop ideas directly through the website; game studios access the tools through self-serve subscriptions.
