Indie studios
Source control for indie game studios
Indies don't have a DevOps team. You shouldn't need one to version control your project. USourceControl gives small studios the same capability AAA uses — without the servers, seat licenses, or Perforce admin.
Purpose-built
Designed for small teams with real projects
Free solo tier forever
Solo developers get 50 GB of storage, unlimited commits, and the full desktop app for $0. No credit card, no trial limit.
Flat per-user pricing
Bring on a collaborator for $25/month. No seat minimums, no admin overhead, no enterprise sales call.
Five-minute setup
Create a project, link the desktop app, start committing. No server provisioning, no admin configuration.
Your whole team can use it
Artists, writers, audio folks — everyone works from the same app. No Git CLI tutorials, no P4V training.
Backed up and recoverable
Every version is stored and retrievable. Accidentally deleted the boss level? Restore it in one click.
Open-source desktop app
MIT licensed. Audit it yourself, build it yourself if you want to, never worry about vendor lock-in at the client layer.
The indie source control dilemma
Indies get stuck between bad options. Git LFS is free but fragile — one artist forgetting to run `git lfs install` and your project is full of pointer files instead of textures. Perforce is too expensive and operationally heavy to justify for a team of three. Cloud storage (Dropbox, Google Drive) has no real versioning and creates sync conflict nightmares on shared project folders. You end up duct-taping something together, losing hours to tooling that should Just Work, and occasionally losing work outright. USourceControl exists because this situation shouldn't be anyone's default.
What's included in the free tier
Solo developers get the full product, free, forever: • 50 GB of storage • 500 GB of bandwidth per month • Unlimited commits • Full per-file version history • The full desktop app (no gated features) • The web dashboard When your solo project grows into a team, you pay $25/user/month for the Indie plan — which includes team collaboration, audit logs, priority support, and 1 TB per-org storage.
Upgrading when your team grows
Moving from Solo to Indie takes two clicks on the billing page. Nothing migrates, nothing moves — your existing project stays put, storage caps go up, and you can invite collaborators. Downgrading works the same way and keeps your data accessible. If your studio hits a gap between projects and you want to park things, you can drop back to Solo without losing history. Your commits don't go anywhere.
FAQ
Common questions
Is the Solo tier really free forever?
Yes. No trial, no credit card required. 50 GB of storage, unlimited commits, full desktop app and web dashboard. It's designed to be a permanent home for solo projects.
What happens if I hit the Solo storage limit?
We notify you as you approach it. You can upgrade to Indie for more storage, or clean up old versions if you need to stay under the cap. We don't lock you out of your own project — existing files stay accessible.
How does pricing scale as our team grows?
Flat per-user pricing: $25/user/month on Indie, $100/user/month on Studio. The Studio tier unlocks 20 TB of org storage and dedicated support. Annual billing gives you two months free.
Can I use USourceControl with contractors or freelancers?
Yes. Invite them to a specific project with member-level access, pay per active user, remove them when the engagement ends. Audit logs track everything they touch.
Do I need a technical co-founder to use this?
No. The desktop app is designed for non-engineers. Artists, designers, and writers can use it without any CLI knowledge. If your technical person sets up the first project, everyone else can join and contribute without learning Git.
What if I want to leave?
Your data is yours. You can download the current state of any project at any time through the desktop app or API. We don't hold your project hostage if you decide to switch tools.
