Construct Game Services Leaderboards review
A flexible leaderboard backend for games with complex ranking requirements.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Construct Game Services Leaderboards provides hosted leaderboard infrastructure for games using web and API access. It supports high scores, speedrun times, currencies and custom metrics, making it suitable for games that need more than a single global score table. Developers can use it with Construct 3 or other game engines, including cross-platform games. The service also covers country tracking, periodic rankings and configurable ranking logic.
Its main strength is breadth. Boards can run daily, weekly, monthly or annually with automatic resets, while score history and rank comparison provide a record of player performance. Teams, divisions and tiers support more structured competition, and developers can choose rank, dense-rank or row-number methods. Additional score metadata, score adjustment, shadow bans and automated score rejection thresholds add control for games that need custom scoring and anti-cheat handling.
The published plans show a free option with basic leaderboards, described as free for everyone, forever, alongside paid Pro and Business plans with broader leaderboard types and unlimited API calls and bandwidth. Construct Basic, Construct Pro and Construct Pro + are included with qualifying Construct 3 subscriptions, with different leaderboard coverage. Paid prices are shown in USD and exclude VAT. Choose this service if your game needs seasons, historical results, teams or configurable ranking rules through documented HTTP endpoints. A simpler leaderboard need may not require its wider feature set or paid-tier structure.
