Tier

Tier is a social gaming journal for tracking games, rating them, writing reviews, and organizing lists. Players can label games to do, playing, played, or abandoned, then rate them from 1 to 10, with scores mapped to grades from F to S. Users can follow other players and compare ratings and activity. The service also includes comments, a social activity feed, game-versus-game voting battles, and a yearly gaming recap. Lists can be public or private, and public lists can be shared through links. Guests can browse the catalog and read public reviews, but need an account to keep a journal, post, or follow players. Accounts support email and password, Apple, or Google sign-in. Tier says its catalog syncs with third-party databases and its privacy policy names Steam for release and platform information. It is available on Android, iOS, and the web. The free plan is $0.00 per free and shows ads in the app and on the website. Tier is intended for people aged 13 or older, with a higher local age threshold in some EU countries.

Tier combines game tracking and ratings with social features and shareable lists. A free plan is available, though it includes advertising and account access is needed to participate beyond browsing public content.

Tier suits players who want to keep a personal game journal and share ratings, reviews, or lists. It is intended for people aged 13 or older, subject to higher local age thresholds in some EU countries.

Overview

Tier is a game journal built around tracking what you play, rating titles and sharing lists. It is best suited to players who want a personal record alongside a community to compare with; its free access is appealing, but ads and sign-in make participation a trade-off.

Key features

Game statuses cover a backlog as well as a play history: mark a title to do, playing, played or abandoned. Ratings combine a 1-to-10 score with a corresponding grade from F to S, giving users a compact way to summarize opinions. Players who prefer a personal scale can use the numbers, while those who want a verdict at a glance also get the grade.

Lists can be public or private, and public ones can be shared through links. That flexibility serves both personal organization and recommendations, without making every collection public. Following players, comments and an activity feed make it possible to compare interests and reactions; voting battles pit games against each other, while a yearly recap offers a look back at gaming activity. These social features give Tier a stronger community focus than a solitary log, but they require an account: guests can browse the catalog and read public reviews, not maintain a journal, post or follow anyone.

Accounts can be created with an email and password or through Apple and Google. Tier says its catalog syncs with third-party game databases, and its privacy policy names Steam as a source for release and platform information. The policy says passwords are stored as salted KDF hashes, not in clear text, and identifies the publisher in Belgium as data controller under GDPR. Tier is for people aged 13 and older, subject to higher local age thresholds in some EU countries.

Pricing

Tier has one published plan: Free — free. It includes advertising on the website and in the app, including banner and medium-rectangle placements. The free price removes a subscription cost, but users who want an ad-free experience should look elsewhere. There is no separate paid plan to compare.

Because guests cannot keep a journal or take part socially, free access is most useful to people willing to create an account. Support is available at [email protected]; Tier says it replies within five business days, usually sooner.

Platforms

Tier is available on Android, iOS and the web, making it a fit for players who want to access their gaming journal across mobile and browser platforms.

Who it's for

Choose Tier if your goal is to track games, rate them and share or compare opinions in one social space. It is less suitable if you only want to make tier lists without an account, or if advertising is a deal-breaker.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Status tracking covers games from backlog to abandonment, and public or private lists support both personal organization and sharing.
• Pros: Following, comments, activity feeds, voting battles and a yearly recap give players several ways to engage beyond logging games.
• Pros: Android, iOS and web access, plus email, Apple and Google sign-in, offer multiple ways to reach the service and create an account.
• Cons: Guests cannot journal, post or follow players, so the central tracking and social functions require an account.
• Cons: Advertising appears on the website and in the app, with no paid ad-free Tier plan to choose instead.

Alternatives

TierMaker is another option, with a free website plan and a $1.99 a month Pro plan described as ad-free.

Verdict

Tier is a strong fit for players who want a game log that connects to ratings, lists and social activity without a subscription fee. Its mix of statuses, grades and community tools is the reason to choose it; the required account for participation and ads across app and website are the reasons to look elsewhere.
