LightLeaderboard
What it is
LightLeaderboard gives game developers real-time global leaderboards through a REST API. Rankings can reward either high or low scores and run across all-time, weekly, or monthly periods. Scores can be organized by season and filtered by team, while the API can store player profiles and score metadata and return rank and score history. An analytics dashboard tracks active players, submissions, top countries, and rank changes. Webhooks can report events such as a new top score, a personal best, or a rank milestone. Security options include HMAC-SHA256 score signing, per-key rate limits, and score bounds; the documentation advises keeping API keys and score secrets server-side. The maker offers a TypeScript-first JavaScript SDK and a Godot 4 GDScript plugin, with guides or examples for engines and frameworks including Kaboom.js, Phaser, PixiJS, Unity, and Unreal. The Free plan covers one game and up to 100 unique players. Pro costs $19 a month and lists unlimited games and players, JSON export, priority support, and seven-day data grace after cancellation.
