GDevelop Freemium

What it does

GDevelop is a free, open-source, cross-platform game engine that lets people build 2D, 3D and multiplayer games with a visual event system instead of writing code. It's aimed at "artists, game devs, teachers and brands," and games can be published to web, Android, Steam and iOS with one click.

What is inside

• A drag-and-drop scene and behavior editor with a visual event system for game logic
• Built-in multiplayer services: lobbies and leaderboards
• One-click publishing to web, Android, Steam and iOS
• Thousands of free assets on the built-in Asset Store
• An AI tutor that answers questions and helps build game mechanics inside the editor, with usage measured in AI credits per plan

Works with

GDevelop is a standalone desktop and browser application rather than a plugin for another AI coding tool; the AI assistance is built into its own editor rather than exposed as an MCP server or agent skill.

How to install or connect

GDevelop is downloaded from gdevelop.io or used directly in the browser; the open-source engine itself can also be built from source from its GitHub repository (4ian/GDevelop).

Pricing

The core engine is free and open-source, with unlimited local use. A paid tier structure sits on top of it: Free ($0/month) includes daily Android/desktop publishing, 3 cloud projects and 40 AI credits/month; Silver, Gold and Pro plans add more weekly AI credits (200, 1,000 and 3,000 respectively), more cloud project storage, iOS publishing (Gold and up), and collaboration features (Pro), with GDevelop advertising up to 40% off for annual billing. Specific monthly dollar prices for the paid tiers aren't published on the pricing page beyond the credit and feature breakdown.

Maintenance and safety

A large, long-running open-source project (26,000+ stars, active weekly commits) with no known safety concerns.

Who should use it

Hobbyists, educators, and small studios who want to build games visually without traditional programming, with optional AI help rather than an AI-agent-driven coding workflow.
