Brainloot review
A focused game-development board for small teams using Unity and Discord.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Brainloot is a collaborative project-management tool for solo developers, indie studios, game jams, student teams, and small game teams. Its workflow centers on Kanban-style decks, cards, lanes, custom views, milestones, reports, and personal work queues. The same board is available across web, iOS, and Android, with public sharing and team invitations for collaboration beyond the core team.
Pricing is structured as a freemium model. The Free plan costs £0 forever and includes Hand and Focus Mode, a web board, Unity Bridge and Scene pins, Discord intake, and public board sharing. Pro costs £9 per month or £90 per year, while Team costs £14 per seat per month or £140 per seat per year. Founder year options are listed at £45 for Solo and £70 per seat for Team. The published plans show the same core feature highlights across Free, Pro, and Team, with team pricing distinguishing the Team tier.
Brainloot’s strongest fit is a focused game-production workflow connected to Unity and Discord. Unity Bridge supports scene pins, while Discord can feed feedback and bug intake into the project; Unreal is described as coming/alpha. Reports show moved, stuck, and completed work, and mobile access keeps the board available away from the web. Teams seeking a compact task-management system should find the feature set aligned with small-scale development. Larger productions that need a broad production pipeline should consider a more expansive alternative. Support is available through email and community channels, and the product lists GDPR compliance.
