What IndieLaunch is
IndieLaunch helps indie developers gather structured playtest feedback from their own communities and follow aggregate conversion from testers to Steam reviews. To set up a round, a developer names the game, adds a build link or download key, and chooses feedback focus areas. Testers can respond from a shareable invite link without creating an account. Feedback is grouped into Bugs, Suggestions, and Praise, with custom questions included in the Free plan. A Discord bot accepts feedback through the /feedback command and supports screenshot attachments; testers can also sign in with Steam. The review tracker shows aggregate conversion, while Pro adds an individual reviewer breakdown and a list of testers available for outreach. Free also includes unlimited rounds, CSV export, and shareable round reports. Pro adds Steam key distribution and Steam data in a summary email. The site says a round can be set up in two minutes. IndieLaunch is web-based. Free costs nothing, billed $0/forever; Pro costs $12 a month, billed $12/month.
