How Game Benchmarking
actually works.

Yes, Game Benchmarking is a free tool with no plan requirement. You enter your metrics and get percentile rankings against your theme in seconds. There is no minimum size either: it works whether you have 50 players or 50,000, because percentiles adjust to the full range.

You enter four numbers: CCU, total visits, likes, and favorites. Sliders make the input fast. You also pick a theme, and the benchmark compares your numbers only against games in that same theme, so a Horror game is measured against Horror rather than against Simulators.

Each metric gets a percentile rank with a color: green for the top quartile, amber for the middle, and red for the bottom quartile. One glance shows which metrics are strong and which need work. For example, Visits at the 78th percentile shows green while Likes at the 22nd shows red.

That gap points to engagement, not traffic. The results highlight your weakest metric relative to your theme, so if likes sit at the 20th percentile while CCU is at the 60th, players are finding your game but not engaging deeply. The suggested response is to prioritize retention mechanics.
