About FreeTick
Your daily hub for free games and apps
FreeTick is a free aggregator that tracks giveaways, limited-time free releases, and temporarily free content across major gaming and app platforms. Our mission is simple: help gamers and app users never miss a free deal again.
What We Do
Every 6 hours, our automated system scans multiple official sources and surfaces the latest free content:
- Paid games temporarily free on Steam, Epic Games Store, and itch.io
- App giveaways and limited-time free apps on iOS and Android
- Permanent free-to-keep deals with clear expiration dates
- Discount alerts showing the original price vs current free price
Data Sources
FreeTick aggregates publicly available data from these trusted sources:
Epic Games Store
Steam
itch.io
GamerPower
IsThereAnyDeal
Xbox Game Pass
PlayStation Plus
All data is fetched through official APIs or public feeds. When you click through to claim a free item, you leave FreeTick and interact directly with the original store.
Understanding the Metrics
What the auxiliary indicators on each card mean:
- 🟢 Metacritic Score — Average professional review score from outlets like IGN, PC Gamer, and GameSpot (out of 100). 75+ 🟢 positive · 50-74 🟡 mixed · <50 🔴 negative. Only shown for AAA/mid-tier titles that have been formally reviewed; most indie games, new releases, and DLCs don't qualify. Click the badge to open the Metacritic page.
- 👥 N reviews — Number of actual purchasers on Steam who clicked "Recommended". Higher counts indicate an active community but don't directly correlate with quality.
- Developer — Official development studio or publisher name (Steam source).
- via XXX — Shown for games routed through GamerPower. Indicates the actual origin store (Epic Games, Steam, itch.io, etc.) where you'll claim the game.
- 🔥 Ends in 24h — Free games ending within the next 24 hours.
- 🆕 Added today — Games newly added to our tracker today.
※ All information is based on public data from each source. Missing fields are automatically hidden.
How It Works
- No sign-up required - browse freely without creating an account
- "Mark as Claimed" - a local browser feature that helps you track what you've already grabbed (data stays on your device)
- Three languages - available in English, Japanese, and Korean with automatic locale detection
- Mobile-first design - optimized for phones, tablets, and desktops
Why We Built This
Free deals appear and disappear fast. Many giveaways last just 24-48 hours, and scattered information across dozens of Discord servers, Reddit threads, and store pages means most people miss them. FreeTick solves this by aggregating everything in one clean feed, updated automatically.
How We Fund FreeTick
FreeTick is 100% free for users. We cover hosting and development costs through display advertising via Google AdSense. Ads appear in clearly marked locations and never interfere with the free game listings themselves. We do not receive affiliate commissions from the gaming platforms - all "Get Now" links go directly to the official store pages.
For details on how advertising data is handled, see our Privacy Policy.
