Lobbies is the social home for everything you play. Track your library, see what your friends are in right now, drop into a game's lobby to talk about it, and write the reviews and lists you actually want to read. PLAYING NOW Connect Steam once and Lobbies shows you what your friends are playing in real time. Helldivers, Hades, whatever they fire up — you see the green dot, they see yours. No more "send me a Discord screenshot." YOUR FULL LIBRARY Pull your entire Steam library in one tap. Every game gets a shelf — Now Playing, Finished, Backlog, Owned, Wishlist, Dropped. Track what you're actually getting through, look back on what you finished this year. A LOBBY FOR EVERY GAME Each game has its own lobby. Ask if the new patch broke the build that worked. Find a co-op partner for the DLC. Compare endings. Watch the lobbies for the games you care about and we'll tell you when something happens. REVIEWS THAT MEAN SOMETHING Rate games, write reviews, like and reply to other people's takes. None of that "great game 10/10" content farm energy. Hot takes encouraged. LISTS, RANKED Build ordered lists of the games you love and the games you swear by. "Top 10 soulslikes," "Comfort co-op for slow Saturdays," "Best indies of the year so far" — your own canon, laid out, ranked, and ready to defend. Browse other people's lists, upvote the ones you agree with, leave a comment when you don't, and find your next favorite game through the people who already love it. YOUR PEOPLE Follow players whose taste you trust. Mute or block whoever you don't. Private profile if you want the library without the audience. PRIVACY-FIRST BY DEFAULT No third-party advertising. No data sold. Delete your account whenever — we wipe it. Steam integration is opt-in and one tap to disconnect. Built by gamers for gamers.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Lobbies at none against StaticGamers's 4. Lobbies also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 9 days). StaticGamers's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
