Why choose uSymphony?
Seamless Unity Workflow — All in One IDE
Stay inside Visual Studio for the entire loop—code, debug, test, and manage assets & packages—without bouncing back to the Unity Editor every minute. Purpose-built tools such as Unity Project Explorer, Unity Console, and Unity Test Explorer bring assets, logs, and play-mode tests right into the IDE, creating a seamless Unity-smart workflow that lets you deliver complex projects faster, polished, and production-ready.
Modern .NET Projects & Seamless NuGet Integration
uSymphony upgrades Unity projects to Visual Studio’s modern .NET system, giving you faster load times, automatic file management, modern dependency management, and instant project reloading. On top of that, uSymphony provides a robust solution for seamlessly integrating NuGet packages into Unity projects, while CoreCLR-ready tooling future-proofs your codebase for the next era of Unity and .NET.
Unity-Smart AI CoPilot
uSymphony turns Visual Studio into a truly Unity-smart IDE by weaving GitHub Copilot together with real-time project telemetry and team-defined guardrails. We make Copilot “think like the Editor,” so it can trigger smarter actions that automate coding, debugging, testing, and asset tasks with Unity-specific accuracy. The payoff for professional teams is a triple win: consistency, maintainability, and deep automation—all within Visual Studio.
Budget-Friendly Licensing — Save up to 88 %
Per-user perpetual licenses plus optional maintenance mean no forced subscription. Over three years, uSymphony can cut total cost by up to 88 % versus Rider for Community-eligible teams. For example, a solo developer pays $99 for a presale three-year bundle (vs $357 with Rider), while a five-person indie team spends $701 with bulk discounts (vs $6,285 on Rider Organization), freeing budget for real game content.
