General FAQ
Q. What is Zappaty?
A. Zappaty is the world’s first back-up and collaboration platform specifically designed to work with Unity.
Zappaty was born out of frustration with the complete lack of simple and cost-effective collaboration and storage solutions that worked properly within game development.
Small to medium games development studios can breathe a sigh of relief as project collaboration and secure storage in Unity is now possible with this game-changing technology.
Q. What platforms does Zappaty support?
A. Zappaty currently only supports Windows 10/11. macOS will be coming soon.
Q. How many users can I collaborate with using Zappaty?
A. Every Zappaty plan includes unlimited users.
You’ll need to create a new user and Project Access Token for every new device and collaborator you want to add to your Unity project.
Q. Does Zappaty offer technical support?
A.Once you subscribe to Zappaty you’ll be able to request technical support from the Zappaty team through the Support Portal which can be found in your Zappaty dashboard at www.zappaty.com.

Q. How easy is it to use Zappaty to merge changes?
A.Using Zappaty removes the reliance of complex external processes to merge changes across your project.
With Zappaty, you can instantly update and commit your changes across your entire team with the click of a button in the Unity engine.
Q. What’s the difference between Zappaty and Unity Collaborate?
A. Collaborate has upgraded to Unity’s version control system, Plastic SCM.
Zappaty is the perfect solution for game developers with a need for a simpler and more cost-effective alternative to Plastic SCM, Unity’s complex, integrated collaboration tool.
Q. What’s the difference between Zappaty and GitHub?
A. Zappaty allows you to work on the same scene files at the same time, whereas GitHub requires you to use branching externally to the project in Unity. Branching in GitHub can typically be a lengthy and complicated process and can pose a higher risk of losing your Unity project..
Zappaty eliminates the need for branching or other external process traditionally used to merge and commit your project changes. Do everything directly from Unity with Zappaty. It’s a no brainer!
Q. What’s the difference between Zappaty and Perforce?
A. The essence of Zappaty is that it's super simple and barely an inconvenience to use. Perforce provides a huge range of features designed for large development teams. Zappaty is designed to get you started really quickly and to provide just the features games developers need.
Once you download, install, and connect Zappaty to your Unity project you can make changes to scene file objects and your team-mates can receive these changes at the click of a button. This new way of working reduces the risk of merge clashes and conflicts.
Zappaty allows you to "Sync Up" and "Sync Down" as you develop with a simple button click, keeping everything super simple and saving you extra time and stress so you can focus on developing your game.
The integrated Unity features allow you to see what your whole team is working on. This especially helps in today’s culture of home working.
With Zappaty there is no need to create and manage your own servers for storing data.
The Zappaty end-to-end solution manages the whole process for you so you can spend your time and resources on what matters most, developing your game.
