What Grouvee is
Grouvee is a web service for organizing a video game collection and keeping track of play. Its shelves include Playing, Played, Backlog, and Wish List, with custom shelves available too. Users can rate games from one to five stars, write reviews, and record playtime. The community features let users follow friends, see what they are playing and reviewing, and browse or create lists. Grouvee imports game data daily from IGDB. Users can bring in a Steam library by providing a publicly viewable Steam profile URL, and export their collection as a CSV file from settings. A shelf can also be embedded on another website using provided HTML and JavaScript. The Free plan includes game tracking, shelves and lists, ratings, and reviews. Super Gold costs $20 a year and adds daily Steam syncing, on-demand refresh, ad removal, profile customization, early feature access, and a Supporters-page listing. New Super Gold XL costs $50 a year and adds a larger Supporters-page spotlight and podcast name mention to Super Gold benefits. The site is maintained by Peter Corsaro.
