Overview

What GDevelop does

GDevelop is a free, open-source game development platform with a visual event-driven system. Perfect for beginners who want to create games without programming.

What people use it for

Building 2D games with visual event logic rather than code
Exporting one project to web, desktop, Android and iOS

Where it falls short

Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about GDevelop.

The free tier allows 3 cloud projects and one desktop or Android build per day
Free accounts get one leaderboard per game
Publishing to the iOS App Store requires the Gold plan, which caps those exports at 15 a month
AI credits are metered per tier, from 40 a month on free to 3,000 a week on Pro

Softwr does not host reviews and shows no star rating for GDevelop, because a rating we did not collect is not ours to publish. What is here is the pricing and platform detail from the vendor’s own pages, limitations we could state concretely, and alternatives a reviewer confirmed people weigh against it. Tell us if any of it is wrong.
