GameFlixer's free tier isn't a crippled demo — it's a real, everyday-usable hub. Pro exists for people who live in the app and want the polish, the sync, and the extras. Here's the honest side-by-side so you can pick what fits.

What you get for free

On the free tier you already have the full shape of GameFlixer:

  • The curated, licensed free game shelf, instant-play, supported by respectful ads.
  • Legal retro emulation — homebrew, public-domain, and your own dumped ROMs, with controller support.
  • Connect your own media — link a media server and start browsing your library.
  • Universal search by voice, controller, or keyboard across everything you've connected.

For a lot of people, that's the whole product and it costs nothing.

What Pro adds

Pro is about removing friction and adding intelligence:

  • Ad-free everywhere. Ads disappear from the free game shelf entirely. Your attention is yours.
  • Cloud saves. Your retro game saves sync to the cloud, so you can stop on one screen and continue on another exactly where you left off.
  • Unlimited sources. Connect as many servers, drives, cloud accounts, and playlists as you like — no cap on how much of your world lives in GameFlixer.
  • AI "For You" rows. Personalized rows that read across your games, retro, and media to suggest something worth your evening — so you spend less time browsing and more time enjoying.
  • Family multiplayer. Shared, couch-friendly play and profiles so the whole household gets its own space and its own picks.
  • Controller remapping. Full button remapping and per-system profiles for exactly the layout you want.
Both tiers follow the same rule: GameFlixer never fetches content for you. Pro makes the experience smoother and smarter — it doesn't unlock any new way to obtain media.

How to choose

  • Stay free if: you play occasionally, don't mind tasteful ads around free games, and connect just a source or two.
  • Go Pro if: you play retro often and want cloud saves, you have several media sources, you share the app with family, or you simply want it ad-free with smarter recommendations.

See the numbers

Tiers and current pricing live on the pricing page, including any family or annual options. The short version: free is real and generous, and Pro is priced to be an easy yes for anyone who makes GameFlixer their main living-room hub.

The bottom line

Start free. Connect a source, play some games, dip into retro. If GameFlixer becomes the way you play and watch, Pro removes the ads and adds the sync and smarts that make it feel effortless — all while keeping the same promise: it only ever opens what's already yours.
