Viewport.gg
What it is
Viewport.gg is a playtesting service for indie game developers who want recorded sessions and structured feedback from paid testers. Developers can upload Windows zip files, WebGL folders, .app bundles, or APKs, or paste a TestFlight link; builds are detected automatically without a CLI. To set up a test, choose a tester audience, duration, feedback template, and payout per tester. Sessions can include screen capture, microphone audio, an input overlay, a transcript, and automatically flagged moments. Testers receive payment automatically after their submission is accepted. Viewport.gg charges 15% on tester payouts: a $10 payout to a tester comes to $11.50 total. There is no subscription, project minimum, per-seat fee, or paywalled feature, and no charge applies when no tester is paid. The service lists Unity, Unreal, Godot, GameMaker, WebGL, Steam Playtest, itch.io, and TestFlight under its supported tools and distribution options. Its stated audience ranges from solo developers to studios of up to 15 people.
