Projects like slack-gamebot and Elovation prove the idea works - an Elo leaderboard for the office, for free. The catch is everything around the code: hosting, upgrades, backups, and the features that never quite get built. Trofeo is the hosted version, maintained for you.
Self-hosting is free until you count your time. Trofeo trades the maintenance for real ratings, tournaments, seasons, trophies, and support.
Credit where it's due - open-source game trackers is a solid self-hosted / diy.
Everything you get the moment a Slack leaderboard isn't enough.
The same jobs a Slack tracker does - plus everything that turns a scoreboard into a competition people care about.

Why pay for Trofeo when slack-gamebot is free?
The software is free; running it isn't. You provide the server, deploy updates, handle backups, and build anything missing. Trofeo bundles hosting, maintenance, and a far larger feature set into a managed product.
Can we migrate from a self-hosted tracker?
Talk to us about migrating your history. There's no self-serve importer today, but reach out and we'll look at your existing data together and scope what a migration could look like.
Where is our data hosted?
Trofeo runs on EU infrastructure (Supabase, eu-west-1), so you get managed hosting without shipping your data outside the EU.
