Develop, deploy, and grow with Unity, the world's leading 3D game engine. Build for all major platforms from mobile, to PC and console as well as XR, acquire players, and monetize your game.

Our take

Last updated 5 November 2026

Unity is the most widely used engine for indie and mobile games, with 2D and 3D tools, a huge asset store and builds for mobile, PC, web, XR and consoles. Unity Personal is free until you pass $200K in annual revenue or funding; above that you need Pro at $210 a month per seat (or from $2,310 a year), which also unlocks console builds and includes 2,000 monthly credits for Unity's AI tools.

Best for Indie teams making 2D, 3D or mobile games who want the biggest ecosystem.

Pros

  • Free Personal plan up to $200K revenue or funding.
  • Huge asset store, tutorials and hiring pool.
  • Builds for almost every platform.

Cons

  • Pro is expensive per seat once you pass $200K.
  • Console builds need Pro or higher.
  • AI assistant on Personal is a paid add-on after the trial.
