@licensr.app

Shipped an app with AI over the weekend. It works. People even like it. And it has made exactly $0, because there is no way to buy it. Licensr gives it a sales page, takes payment through your own Stripe, PayPal, Mercado Pago or Razorpay, and gives each buyer access. Three steps, and the last one is a short snippet your AI editor can paste. Free to start: licensr.app #vibecoding #buildwithai #indiedev #sideproject #buildinpublic #indiehacker #saas #shipit

Someone asked me what Licensr actually costs. $8.99 a month. That covers the storefront, the license keys, the customer portal and the payouts, all on one plan. Do the math on the Indie plan: 500 active licenses, so under 2 cents per license per month. And we take 0% of your sales.

You should not have to pay before you have sold anything. So the free plan is a real one: 1 plugin, 25 active licenses, storefront included. Upgrade when it sells. Indie is $8.99 a month for 500 licenses, and we never take a cut of your sales.

I did the math on my first year of plugin sales. $10,000 in, and the platform had quietly kept $1,000 of it. Not for hosting, not for support. Just for sitting between my customers and me. Licensr charges a flat monthly fee and takes 0% of your sales. The money goes through your own Stripe or PayPal, so the only fees left are the processor's.

A customer opened their plugin on a plane and got "license check failed". They had paid. The tool just could not reach the server. Licensr checks the key on the device itself, so it keeps working with no internet at all.

The plugin was done for three weeks before it made a single dollar. Not because nobody wanted it. Because I still had to pick a site builder, wire a checkout, find somewhere to host the file, and email the key by hand. That gap between "it works" and "someone can buy it" is where most plugins quietly die. Licensr gives every product a page that already does all of it. Your own Stripe or PayPal runs the checkout, the license key gets issued and delivered, and the money lands in your account, never ours. licensr.app #indiedev #buildinpublic #wordpressdev #saas #devtools #indiehacket #shipit #softwarelicensing #wordpressdeveloper #figmaplugins #audioplugins #stripe #PluginDev #mercadopago #razorpay #chromeextension

Their card expired eleven months into a subscription. They did not become pirates. They just forgot. Most licensing tools treat that the same as theft: product off, work locked, angry email in your inbox by morning. Nobody renews out of spite. So Licensr lets you define what expired actually means: read only, limited tier, grace period, or a hard stop if that is really what you want. You set the rule per plan. licensr.app #indiedev #saas #buildinpublic #devtools #softwarelicensing #indiehacker #customersupport #wordpressdeveloper #audioplugins #figmaplugins #PluginDev #stripe #mercadopago #razorpay #chromeextension

I used to tell people, "Just hit the REST endpoint; it's only a few calls." Then I opened one of their integrations and found forty lines of fetch, retries, JSON parsing and error branches. All of it written from scratch. All of it their problem to maintain. Nobody should have to write that. So we shipped official SDKs: JavaScript, TypeScript, C++ and C#. Typed, autocompleted, three lines to validate a license. npm install @licensr/sdk licensr.app #indiedev #saas #buildinpublic #devtools #typescript #javascript #cpp #csharp #dotnet #sdk #softwarelicensing #indiehacker #shipit#buildinpublic #devtools #audioplugins #wordpressdev #shopifydev #figmaplugins #chromeextension #softwarelicensing #stripe #indiehacker #shipit #WordPress #PluginDev #BuildInPublic #IndieDev #wordpressdeveloper #vst #unity3d #saas #indiedev

Someone messaged me last week asking why they couldn't buy my plugin. They live in Argentina. Stripe doesn't operate there. That's not an edge case. Stripe covers 46 countries. There are 195. So Licensr now connects PayPal, Mercado Pago, Razorpay and Stripe. You pick whichever one works where you are; the money lands in your own account, and we take 0% of it. licensr.app #indiedev #saas #buildinpublic #devtools #stripe #paypal #mercadopago #razorpay #indiehacker #plugindev #softwarelicensing #shipit

I keep meeting devs who ship something great and then stall on the boring part: how do I actually sell this and stop it from leaking everywhere? Audio plugin. Browser extension. WordPress plugin. Figma plugin. Unity asset. Desktop app. Same problem every time. Keys, seats, expirations, activations. That is the whole reason Licensr exists. One platform, whatever you build, and the money lands in your own Stripe, PayPal or Mercado Pago account.

Sold 1 license. Found it running on 412 sites. That math broke me, so I built Licensr: generate a key in one click, verify it with one request, and bind it to a single domain. licensr.app, free to start 🔑 #WordPress #PluginDev #BuildInPublic #IndieDev #wordpressdeveloper

What's the worst part of selling a WordPress plugin: Piracy, licensing, or Stripe webhooks? 😮‍💨 (we fixed all 3) #wordpress #webdev #wordpressdeveloper #indiehacker #saas #buildinpublic
