ProtectMyGame

Overview

ProtectMyGame is a protection suite for Windows-based Unity 3D projects, aimed at developers who want to make game code and executables harder to inspect or tamper with. It is best suited to Unity teams seeking selective script obfuscation alongside executable protection and resource packaging. Its focused tools are useful, though the free plan’s short file-availability window limits its value for ongoing work.

Key features

Unity Obfuscator obfuscates C# scripts before compilation in the Unity Editor. Developers can download it through the Editor and have scripts obfuscated automatically during compilation, keeping the protection step within the Unity workflow. Selective obfuscation is a practical advantage: teams can shield chosen methods while keeping public APIs and moddable systems readable. That approach suits projects that need to protect anti-cheat logic, licensing, or core logic without obscuring every part of the game.

Code Protector encrypts executables with compression and anti-tampering protection, extending coverage beyond scripts. Resource Packer handles packages up to 2GB and supports automatic extraction and ZIP64. Together, the tools address several protection tasks, but the free plan’s 200MB per-file cap means larger resources require a paid plan.

Pricing

Free forever costs nothing. It allows up to five protected files, with Code Protector and Resource Packer limited to five files of up to 200MB each. Files are available for 24 hours, making this a constrained option for short evaluations rather than a dependable release workflow.

Premium is billed per month and includes unlimited files, Unity Obfuscator, all protection tools, a custom API key, and Unity 3D exclusive compatibility. The pricing page displays 9.99€ per month alongside 14.99€ with a 33% discount label, so the displayed monthly amount is inconsistent; clarify the charge before subscribing. Premium is the relevant option for teams needing continuing file access, higher-volume work, or Unity Obfuscator.

Platforms

ProtectMyGame is for Windows and supports Unity 3D. Its integration method is SDK, while Unity Obfuscator operates through the Unity Editor.

Who it's for

Unity developers who want selective protection for sensitive methods, plus tools for executables and bundled resources, are the clearest fit. It is less suitable for projects outside Unity 3D or for teams that need a predictable ongoing file workflow without first resolving the Premium price display.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Selective obfuscation lets developers protect chosen methods while preserving readable public APIs and moddable systems.
• Pros: Script obfuscation, executable protection, and resource packaging are brought together in one suite.
• Cons: The free plan caps protected files at five and makes them available for only 24 hours.
• Cons: Premium’s two displayed monthly prices make the subscription cost unclear.
• Cons: The suite is specifically tied to Unity 3D, limiting its fit for other development environments.

Alternatives

Game DRM Software is a broader category to browse when comparing protection tools.

• StarForce Reader is a free alternative for readers seeking software across Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows.
• Google Play Billing is for Android apps selling digital items through one-time purchases or subscriptions.
• Digital.ai Application Protection is an alternative with a broader platform range and customer-customizable protections.
• Virbox Protector is a paid alternative with a free trial and personal and enterprise license options.
• Enigma Protector is a paid alternative with a free plan and trial, including a monthly online activation panel option.
• Steam Input is a free alternative for readers looking for software supporting Windows, macOS, Linux, and API integration.
• STOVE PC Security SDK is another paid option for Windows and API use.
• VMProtect is a paid alternative with a free trial for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Verdict

ProtectMyGame is a good fit for Unity developers who want selective script obfuscation plus executable and resource tools in one focused suite. Its strongest reason to choose it is that combination; its clearest reasons to look elsewhere are the free plan’s five-file, 24-hour limits and Premium’s unclear displayed monthly charge.
