Online leaderboards in 2023. What to use?

I'm working on a word game and I'd like to include a global high score leaderboard. What services are people using these days?

I found the awesome LootLocker tutorial for Construct 3, but I'm trying to create the next Wordle and at higher player counts their pricing starts to get out of my comfort zone.

I've found dozens of other options, but many of the recommendations are several years old. What's the current best option for something like this?

I've been reading about a PlayFab plugin. Has anyone used it?

Hi there, you're a little further along than me, I'm also developing a word game and will need the same when I've finally finished it. I hadn't heard of playfab before but this tutorial looks interesting:

Isn't there a Google leaderboard thing? as the player would already have an account/password and save them hassle signing up for yet more spam.

Anyway interested in how you get on, good luck
