Pricing
PaidGameDriver is free for solo developers and educators — providing full SDK access at no cost for non-commercial use. A 14-day free trial is available for commercial studios and QA teams.
Paid plans use project-based, node-locked or floating licenses. The Growth plan starts at $400/node per month (minimum 5 nodes, billed annually) and includes Unity or Unreal SDK, HPath tooling, desktop/mobile support, and either XR device or console support. The Advanced plan covers complex multi-platform releases.
A lighter Starter plan is available from approximately $150/month for smaller teams. All plans include unlimited team member access under one project license — no per-seat fees.
CustomKeywords Studios operates exclusively on custom enterprise contracts — there are no public self-serve pricing tiers or monthly subscription plans.
Pricing is project-based and depends on the scope of services required: QA testing engagements, localization projects (per word/language), game development co-production agreements, audio production, art services, or player support contracts are all scoped and quoted individually.
Studios and publishers engage via Keywords' global sales team. Given Keywords' scale (70+ studios, 13,000+ staff), it typically serves mid-size to AAA publishers — though smaller studios may engage for specific targeted services like QA or localization.
