Viewport.gg review

Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026

Viewport.gg is a game playtesting platform for indie developers and studios with up to 15 people. It lets teams upload playable builds, select a tester audience, define the test duration and per-tester payout, then collect recorded sessions with structured feedback. Supported formats include Windows ZIP files, WebGL folders, macOS app bundles, Android APKs, and TestFlight links, giving teams several ways to distribute builds through a tester marketplace.

Pricing is pay-as-you-go rather than subscription-based. The published Pay-as-you-go plan applies a 15% fee to tester payouts, with no project minimum and no per-seat fees. Usage costs nothing when no tester is paid. This structure suits occasional studies and projects that need flexible testing volume, while teams should account for the payout fee when budgeting recruitment. The platform connects with Unity, Unreal, Godot, and GameMaker, and supports WebGL, Steam Playtest, itch.io, and TestFlight workflows.

Viewport.gg’s strongest feature is the depth of each recorded session. Results can include screen video, microphone audio, input overlays, transcripts, and automatically flagged interesting moments. Feedback templates add structure to qualitative responses, while automatic payments follow accepted submissions. The trade-off is basic audience targeting, so teams needing more detailed participant controls may prefer a platform with deeper recruitment segmentation. Choose Viewport.gg for multi-format build testing and flexible tester payouts; look elsewhere if advanced targeting is central to the research process.
