GOG plans, side by side

People bring GOG in for buying games that will keep working without a store or client, playing older titles patched to run on current hardware, archiving a game library independently of any platform. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to GOG are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the GOG badges page.
Before you pay for GOG
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: a single tier at Free. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
GOG runs on windows, macos, linux, and is published by CD Projekt of Warsaw, Poland. The full record is on the GOG review, and the rest of the category is under best gaming tools.
