PLAYTESTING
Every paid plan starts with a 3-month free trial. Cancel any time in those three months and you are not charged. Testers are free and are not counted against your seats; a license is a person on your team.
One designer, everything unlocked. $288 if you pay monthly.
Card required. Cancel inside three months and you pay nothing. You’ll sign in first; checkout is tied to your NexTurn account, so access lands where you expect it.
A small team sharing one library of projects. $720 if you pay monthly.

Agencies and publishers running tests for other people.
Partner is not built yet, which is why it has no price. Below is what it will be. Talk to us and we will build it in the order people ask for it.
Studio assumes everyone shares one library. Partner assumes the opposite: each client's prototypes must never be visible to another, and the report leaving your office has your name on it, not ours.
Each client gets its own workspace. Projects, testers and reports cannot cross between them, so an NDA with one publisher is not a promise about our permissions model.
Export a report with your branding. The client sees your analysis, not a NexTurn page with your name in a corner.
A link that lets outside designers submit a prototype into your queue without you buying them a seat or handling files by email.
Studio caps at five. Above that, per-seat pricing starts shaping who you put on a job. Partner removes the cap so it does not.
See how your prototype's turn length, session time and drop-off sit against published games in its weight class, drawn from NexTurn's community data.
If you are three designers on your own games, Studio is the right plan and Partner is a waste of money. Partner earns its price when someone else is paying you for the answer.
Share reports with a publisher or client by giving them a read-only seat. It counts as one of your plan's seats, the same as any other.
Sign in with the email on your NexTurn account. We send a six-digit code; there is no password to remember.
Go to the portalSame NexTurn account as the app. If you've played a game on your phone, you already have one.
The first three months are free on every paid plan. Beyond that, no: the annual price already is the discount, $180 against $288 is 37.5% off, and stacking another would make monthly look like a fake anchor.
Three months, everything unlocked, on whichever plan you pick. We take a card so it continues without you having to do anything, and we charge nothing until the three months are up. Cancel inside that window and you pay nothing at all.
You keep your account, and everything already collected stays readable: projects, plays, reports. What stops is the new stuff: no new projects, and new plays from testers wait on their phones until the plan is active again. Cancel inside the three-month trial and you pay nothing at all.
“90 minutes” on a box is two numbers pretending to be one: how long the game takes, and how long it takes to explain. They have different fixes (one is a pacing problem, the other a rulebook problem), and a single figure hides which one you have. We separate them by comparing plays where everyone was new against plays by tables that already knew it, and report the gap as a percentage with the play count behind it. You need a couple of each before we’ll quote a number.
Remove the person who left and add the person who replaced them. There is no limit on doing that, and no charge for it.
A NexTurn Pro app unlock you can give a tester as a thank you. Studio annual includes 5, available once your trial converts to a paid plan; extra licenses can be bought at any time. Testers don’t need one to play your game. It is a gift, and once given it is permanent.
Never, on any plan. Testers need the free app and a free account; there is no tester tier and nothing for them to buy.
Nothing is deleted. A lapsed account keeps read-only access to its existing projects and reports. You just can't start new tests, sessions, or invitations until you resubscribe.
