Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the service for its exceptional utility, convenience, and immediate readiness for use. Many highlight the intuitive user interface, making it easy to set up and manage various servers, particularly for games like Minecraft. The pricing is frequently mentioned as incredibly reasonable and offering excellent value for money, especially when compared to alternative hosting solutions. People appreciate the stability and reliability of the service, noting its effectiveness for port tunneling without needing complex technical knowledge or port forwarding. However, some customers also noted occasional issues with the service not working as expected, particularly after a UI redesign, which led to difficulties for some users. A few reviewers mentioned that the service sometimes requires bypassing router firewalls, which might be challenging for less technical users. Additionally, some users experienced connection throttling, leading to disconnects and lag, while others reported that free users lost access to certain TCP and UDP tunnels.

Great Service and Support, I haven't had NEARLY as many issues with Playit as I did with ngrok,Hamachi, and port forwarding straight from my network. Playit went down here and there, but that was because of updates packed with new features and bug fixes. I have been using Playit since mid-early 2020, and I haven't thought of going back to ngrok or cheap / free server hosts. There are easy to follow guides posted on Patrick's Youtube channel. Playit has come a LONG way since Alpha, I kinda miss the old website, but the new one is way better.

Great Service to start from nothing.

This is a great service when you want to start your own server from nothing. Just only 8 ish MB of ram being used on your server / pc, and you are good to go. Down the line you can pay up to 6 US dollars a year to get your own domain name. Now that is better the striaght port forwarding.

service very good for the price of FREE

I have been using this service for a good while now. I wasn't able to port forward no matter what I did then I learned about playit.gg. It was very easy to setup, and the community is amazing.
There is a tutorial for mostly any game server you want to set up on your personal PC!

Great Service

When port forwarding doesn't work on my dedicated server for some reason I just use playit. It works like magic and I haven't encountered any bugs yet.
10/10 Would highly recommend!

Easy to setup free server

Really nice free server Albeit it still in early stage. The client is easy to understand, Amazing customer service, kind and rapid response.
I immediately understand some parts of it just by how easy it is to setup,
The community is kind to explain some parts that I don't understand.
I love the service, for some plugins(in my case geyser)

"As a server owner, it is important that you only install things to
your server if you know how to. We know it’s a big part of running a server and
therefore we provide the best help and guidance as possible, but it’s
important that as a server owner you fully understand what you’re
adding and how it works.

We always recommend that before you install anything to please ensure
that it’s the correct version and is compatible with your server (and
other software that you add) - as well as ensuring to read the
documentation/wiki fully to understand how everything should work."
