FAQ

Common questions

Is this legal? Are you scraping Steam?

All data is derived from publicly available sources — the same sources every Steam analytics tool uses. We are independent and not affiliated with Valve or Steam. All revenue figures are estimates based on public signals (review counts, store metadata, public APIs); they are not actual sales data.

How accurate are the revenue estimates?

Revenue is an estimate, never a measured number. We use a percentile-based model on review counts adjusted for review velocity and price tier. For comparing niches against each other, the model is reliable. For predicting your specific game's revenue, treat the number as a directional signal, not a forecast. Every report carries this disclaimer.

Can I use the API in my own tools?

Yes. Indie Pro includes 500 API calls/day — enough for personal dashboards, custom reports, or feeding your own dev workflow. Free tier gets 50 calls/day. The API is REST + JSON, documented in-app once you sign up.

What happens to my data if I cancel?

Your account — including your watchlist and recently-viewed history — stays for 30 days after cancellation in case you change your mind. After that, you can request permanent deletion at any time from Settings · the deletion is processed within 30 days per GDPR. We don't sell or share your data with anyone. Ever.

Is this actively maintained?

Yes. Data refreshes daily from automated pipelines, niche scores recompute every 24 hours, and the platform ships regular updates. Bug reports sent to hello@metabuff.dev get a response within 24 hours.
