Simple pricing for indie developers
Publish your game for free. Sell through your own Stripe account and get paid directly.
Publishing is free
No fee to open a developer account, no fee to publish a game, no subscription and no hosting tier.
Listings with no cash price are capped at 2 per account. That covers free games and Spice-only games. Games you charge for are not capped.
You get paid directly
Your sales run through your own Stripe account. spiced.gg never holds your sales revenue and never controls when you are paid.
- You are the merchant of record.
- Stripe pays your balance to your bank on your normal Stripe payout schedule. No platform wallet, no payout run, no threshold.
- spiced.gg takes 10% of each cash sale. That covers games, in-game items and cash donations. There are no other platform fees. Bandwidth packs and paid promotion are optional add-ons, priced below.
- Stripe’s processing fees come out of your Stripe balance, at Stripe’s rates.
What a $10.00 sale looks like
Included bandwidth
Serving a game means streaming its build to every player who opens it, which is the one cost here that grows with a game’s success. A monthly pool is how publishing stays free.
2 GB a month, shared across all your games
Need more? Bandwidth packs add 25 GB for $5.00/month each and stack, on the Subscriptions page. Your dashboard shows what you have used.
What happens if you go over your bandwidth?
At your monthly limit, nothing happens. Your games are not removed and their placement does not change. Your dashboard shows it, and we email you.
If your account reaches 2× its monthly pool:
- Paid games are never blocked because of bandwidth.
- Free and Spice-only games come off ranked discovery until the next month or a pack is added.
- Non-member players cannot start a session on a free game until the next month, a pack is added, or the player is a Spiced Plus member. You can always play your own game.
- Betas pause for testers until the next month or a pack is added.
The pool is per account, not per game. Publishing from a second account to get a second pool is grounds for suspension (Terms §6).
Spice purchases carry no platform fee
A Spice-only game has no cash price. Players unlock it by spending Spice, the balance they earn by playing games here.
There is no cash sale to take a share of, so spiced.gg takes nothing, on games or on in-game items. What players spend goes to your Spice balance.
