Your friends are still gaming. They're just on different platforms. Gilld is the social companion app that keeps your squad connected across Steam, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch. See what everyone's playing right now, jump into voice with one tap, and stop losing touch with the people you actually want to play with. SEE YOUR SQUAD IN REAL TIME A live activity feed shows who's online, what they just started, what they finished, and which milestones they hit — across every platform you've connected. React, comment, or jump in. VOICE THAT JUST WORKS Crisp, low-latency voice calls built right into the app. No extra account, no second app to install. Start a call, invite your friends, play. GROUP CHATS AND GAME ROOMS 1:1 DMs, group threads, and dedicated rooms for your regular play groups — with reactions, replies, image sharing, and session cards so "wanna play tonight?" actually turns into a session. PLAN IRL TOO LAN parties, game nights, and local tournaments live inside the app. RSVP, see who's going, find events nearby. CONNECTED PLATFORMS - Steam — library, presence, achievements - PlayStation — PSN ID, trophies, friends - Nintendo Switch — friend codes More platforms on the way. FRIENDS-ONLY BY DEFAULT Gilld is a friend-graph app, not a public community. Your activity is visible to your friends, not strangers. Robust privacy settings, blocking, and reporting are first-class and we don't sell your data, share it with brokers, or use it for ads.

The clearest difference is ads: Gilld at none against QUp's shown. Gilld also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
