The commitment
This page exists so you can hold me to my word. The plan is written down, dated, and public. If I ever break it, you'll have the receipts.
Public profiles, sharing, follows, comments, discovery, the character sheet — every feature that connects you to other players stays in the free tier. Forever. Locking those behind a paywall defeats the entire point of the product.
When traffic eventually needs to pay for itself, the plan is Steam / GOG / Humble affiliate links on game cards, and optional donations. That's it. No ads, no data brokerage, no subscription tiers for core features.
Most "free" products are free until the founder finds a business model, then they aren't. Backloggd is Patreon-funded — fine for now, but there's no public commitment that the social features stay free. Grouvee has been free for over a decade with no rule against it changing. Every game tracker has the same unwritten footnote: "free until we decide otherwise."
This commitment is the opposite — written down, dated, public. If it ever gets broken, you can screenshot this page and tell everyone you know. That's the point.
The site runs on Cloudflare's free tier, which means the hosting bill is genuinely zero at small scale. When traffic eventually outgrows that, the money plan is:
Specifically and forever:
