What it is
Speedrun.com hosts communities for thousands of games, with leaderboards, rules, moderators, and participants. Runners can track progress through rankings, while fans can follow communities. The site also lists game customization, news, forums, guides, resources, videos, streaming, profiles, messages, notifications, and moderation tools. It is available on the web and through a public API. The site lists 20M yearly visitors, 6.4M speedruns, 3M registered users, and 54.6k game communities. Core community features are available for free. An optional Supporter subscription is offered monthly or annually; listed benefits include ad-free browsing, beta features, a supporters-only forum, username animation, an extra badge, and Boosts. Each Boost gives three members of a game community 30 days of ad-free access. Monthly subscribers receive one Boost every 30 days, while annual subscribers receive two. Supporter does not provide speedrunning or community-management advantages. API availability or support is not guaranteed to continue, and APIs may be changed or discontinued without notice.
