Source control alternatives for game dev
A neutral overview of what's out there and where each option fits. Use this to narrow down before you commit to any one tool — including ours.
Perforce Helix Core
The AAA standard
Powerful, proven, and the default at big studios. Requires servers, admins, and per-seat licenses. Complex for artists.
Best for
AAA studios with on-prem needs and in-house DevOps
Git + Git LFS
Engineer-friendly, not artist-friendly
Free and flexible. Fragile for large binaries, expensive in bandwidth, and confusing for non-engineers. Good for code-heavy projects.
Best for
Small engineering-led teams comfortable with Git
Anchorpoint
Git LFS with a friendly face
Polished desktop client over Git + LFS. Still inherits LFS quirks and Git host pricing for storage and bandwidth.
Best for
Teams committed to a Git host who want a better UI
Plastic SCM / Unity VCS
Powerful and Unity-centric
Rebranded as Unity Version Control. Strong merging, multiple clients, complex to learn. Pricing tied to Unity tiers.
Best for
Unity-first teams invested in branch-per-task workflow
Diversion
Broad large-asset source control
Targets game, video, and VFX. Similar category to USourceControl, with a broader industry focus.
Best for
Teams spanning game and non-game large-asset work
Azure DevOps
All-in-one DevOps suite
Git repos, boards, and pipelines in one place. Source control is general-purpose, not game-specific.
Best for
Microsoft-shop studios already on Azure
Where we fit
What makes USourceControl different
Purpose-built for game projects
Not a Git frontend, not a general DevOps suite. Every design decision is shaped by how game teams actually work — large binaries, mixed roles, long-lived assets.
Fully managed, no servers
Storage, bandwidth, backups, and uptime — we run them. Your team ships games instead of babysitting depot servers.
Desktop app every role can use
Artists, designers, engineers, and producers all live in the same clean app. No terminal, no P4V, no LFS pointer confusion.
Open-source client, transparent pricing
MIT-licensed desktop app. Flat per-user pricing with storage and bandwidth bundled. Free solo tier.
