Pricing
FreemiumRegression Games offers a free tier that provides access to the Unity SDK, core bot-building tools, and ready-to-go templates at no cost, making it straightforward for individual developers and small studios to get started. Beyond the free tier, pricing for advanced features and larger studio deployments is not fully published; prospective customers can book a demo directly through the Regression Games website to discuss plan options suited to their team size and testing needs.
PaidThe platform uses pay-as-you-go pricing for the tools, storage, and compute resources used, with new customers getting up to $300 in free credits. Generative AI pricing starts at $0.0001 based on image input, character input, or custom training pricing for Imagen models, and text, chat, and code generation starts at $0.0001 per 1,000 characters based on input (prompt) and output (response). Custom model training pricing is based on machine type used per hour, region, and any accelerators used, available via a sales estimate or the pricing calculator. Notebooks are billed at the same rates as Compute Engine and Cloud Storage, plus separate management fees based on region, instances, and notebooks used. Pipelines start at $0.03 per pipeline run based on execution charges and resources used. Vector Search pricing is based on data size, queries per second (QPS), and number of nodes used. A pricing calculator and custom quotes from sales are available for detailed cost estimates.

Summary
AI agent platform for building Unity bots for QA testing, NPCs, and multiplayer
Google's unified platform for AI agents, models, and MLOps
Regression Games Pros & Cons
Pros
- Genuinely differentiated focus on AI agents and bots purpose-built for the Unity ecosystem
- Lightning-fast integration model requiring only a few lines of code to plug into existing game logic
- Smart replay and deep state capture go well beyond simple macro-based test recording
- No-code functional testing builder lowers the barrier for teams without dedicated QA engineers
- Backed by respected VCs (NEA, a16z), signaling credibility and staying power in the AI gaming space
- Free tier lets teams evaluate the platform with zero upfront cost before committing
Cons
- Purpose-built for Unity, so studios using Unreal Engine, Godot, or custom engines can't use the core SDK
- AI Agent Marketplace for community-shared bots is a newer addition, so the shared bot library is still growing
- Best suited to teams with dedicated QA or gameplay engineering needs; very small solo projects may find it more infrastructure than necessary
- Deeper automated testing setups (chaos testing, bot sequences, CI/CD pipelines) require some engineering investment to configure well
- Public pricing details beyond the free tier are less transparent, often requiring a demo conversation for paid plan specifics
Google Cloud Vertex AI Pros & Cons
Pros
- Access to 200+ models including Gemini, Claude, and open models like Gemma in one platform
- Combines full MLOps lifecycle tooling with modern agent-building capabilities
- Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol support enables interoperability across different agent platforms
- Deep native integration with BigQuery and the broader Google Cloud ecosystem
- $300 in free credits for new customers to explore the platform
- Backed by Google's infrastructure and named a leader in multiple analyst reports
Cons
- Recently rebranded from Vertex AI to Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, which can confuse teams referencing older documentation or tutorials
- Pricing is spread across many separate tools and services, making total cost estimation more complex than flat-rate competitors
- Custom model training costs require a sales estimate or pricing calculator rather than transparent self-serve rates
- Deep feature set and agent-first restructuring add a learning curve for teams new to the Google Cloud ecosystem
- Some advanced governance and enterprise features are gated behind Google Cloud sales conversations
