GDevelop review

GDevelop is the most approachable engine for people who do not code. The vendor calls it an open-source, no-code game engine, and the pricing page confirms that the editor and engine are under the MIT license. Game logic is built with events, and paid plans add AI credits on top. The free plan is fully featured and can publish to Android and desktop once per day, while Silver at $7.99 a month, Gold at $13.99 and Pro at $39.99 raise build limits, add iOS publishing and add more cloud projects. Yearly billing saves up to 40%. Companies with more than $50,000 in yearly revenue must use Pro. The weak points are the build quotas on lower plans and the way event sheets can sprawl in big projects. You can still export any platform manually with developer tools if you outgrow the one-click builds.

Who it is for

Beginners, students and hobbyists who want to make and publish games without writing code.
