Discount Management

Better discounts. Less work.

Every platform. Every title. Every discount window across the year. Planned, checked, and executed through one reliable operating process. You approve the plan, IndieBI carries the work.

Included in IndieBI Core and IndieBI Pro.

The problem

Discounting is detail work.

As you add platforms, regions or SKUs, discounting turns into a system of its own: cooldown rules, overlapping events, edge cases, and platform-specific constraints.

What we hear from studios and publishers

  • We punch the same discount into 8 store backends.
  • We heard about the Steam sale too late to join.
  • Nobody really owns the calendar. It lives in a spreadsheet, a Slack thread and someone's memory.
  • We ran the same depth as last time, because nobody had time to check.
  • When the team gets busy, discounting is the first thing that slips.

The quiet failures that cost revenue

  • Missed deadlines, and sale windows that pass without you
  • Inconsistent depth across stores and regions
  • Wrong cooldown assumptions that lock a game out of the next event
  • The DLC nobody added to the sale

That's where teams lose time and where mistakes and missed windows quietly cost a fortune.

What we do

Every platform. Every title. Every discount window.

Backed by the broadest commercial dataset in games, we know what works at every stage of a game's life. We recommend the depth and timing that grow revenue across the full curve, then set every discount, on every platform.

  • Fewer missed windows, fewer costly mistakes

    We turn a messy stream of platform events into a single forward-looking plan. That means less guesswork, fewer dropped opportunities, and fewer of the quiet failures that cost revenue.

  • Recommendations backed by market context

    Our suggestions start from market data on the 100,000+ SKUs we track, live commercial experience, and a broader view of what works across platforms. They're adapted to your plans, monitored, and adjusted to how your titles actually perform.

  • You keep control, we do the work

    You make the final decision on every discount. IndieBI supports planning, recommendations, and routine execution, so your team's time goes into the work that actually needs them.

IndieBI operates on the broadest commercial dataset in games. We know what works and what doesn't. Our support is designed to pay back in two ways: time and operational certainty immediately, and better discount efficiency over time.

How it works

All your discounts live in one place.

Every platform, every SKU, every plan for the months ahead, in Partner Hub. You see each recommendation before it goes live, and its status once it does.

  • Steam
  • PlayStation
  • Xbox
  • Nintendo
  • Epic Games Store
  • GOG
  • Humble
  • Meta Quest
  • Microsoft Store
  1. Recommendation

    We build a discount calendar and propose timing and depth based on your catalog performance and data from 10,000+ titles and $20B+ in real revenue tracked. Every recommendation is built to maximize the lifetime revenue of your games.

  2. Adjustment Your step

    You review every recommendation. Have a specific event or campaign you want in? We work it in. Want to tweak anything? Go ahead. Nothing goes live until you approve it.

  3. Execution

    After approval, we handle setting discounts on all storefronts, and you see their status in Partner Hub.
