What Viewport.gg is

Viewport.gg helps indie game developers arrange playtests and collect session recordings and structured feedback from paid testers. The site describes its audience as ranging from solo developers to studios of up to 15 people. Developers can upload a Windows zip, WebGL folder, .app bundle, or APK, or paste a TestFlight link; builds are auto-detected and require no CLI. Test setup includes choosing a tester audience, duration, feedback template, and payout per tester. Session materials can include screen capture, mic audio, an input overlay, a transcript, and automatically flagged interesting moments. Testers are paid automatically when their submission is accepted. Viewport.gg charges 15% on tester payouts; its example totals $11.50 when the tester receives $10. The listed plan costs $11.50, paid once for a $10 tester payout plus the $1.50 platform fee. There is no subscription, project minimum, per-seat fee, or paywalled feature, and use costs nothing when no tester is paid. Stripe fees are absorbed by Viewport.gg. The site lists Unity, Unreal, Godot, GameMaker, WebGL, Steam Playtest, itch.io, and TestFlight under “Ships with.”
