VERDICT

Should I use GG Insights?

Steam Analytics & Game Market Research - gginsights.io

Depends. Solid free-first Steam market research for indie devs and researchers validating game ideas. Avoid if you need verified sales figures, console/mobile coverage, or an accountable vendor.

Confidence

Gotchas - check before you buy

Numbers are scraped estimates; one dev says they aren't completely accurate — verify before big decisions.

Paid-tier prices and limits aren't visible in public sources; start free and probe limits.
