IndieLaunch
What it is
IndieLaunch is a web service for indie developers who want structured playtesting with their own communities and a view of how testers convert into Steam reviews. A developer creates a round by naming the game, adding a build link or download key, and selecting feedback focus areas. Testers use a shareable invite link without making an account. Feedback is grouped into Bugs, Suggestions, and Praise, with custom questions available. A Discord bot accepts /feedback submissions and screenshot attachments, while Steam sign-in supports the review tracker. The tracker reports aggregate conversion; Pro adds individual reviewer details and a list of testers available for outreach. Free includes unlimited rounds, CSV export, and shareable reports. Pro adds Steam key distribution and Steam data in summary emails. The site says a round can be set up in two minutes. Free costs nothing, billed $0/forever; Pro costs $12 a month, billed $12/month.
