Before we get to making your first sale, it’s important to know what it will cost to use Freemius. Even though you may have checked out our Pricing page, we want to make sure it’s crystal clear.
You only start paying for anything when you start monetizing with Freemius – meaning you’ve made at least one sale through our platform. At that point, all the features in the Developer Dashboard become available, including the Affiliate Platform and many other useful tools. Once you’ve made a sale, you’re no longer on the FREE plan – you’ll automatically move up to the REVENUES plan.
Freemius is based on a revenue sharing model. A 7% percentage is taken for each successful transaction.
Gateway fees may vary. However, because we process a high sales volume on behalf of all the products sold with Freemius, we’re constantly negotiating the best rates possible with our payment gateway partners so you don’t have to worry about anything.
When it comes to gateway fees, Freemius doesn’t make anything on them. We negotiate the best payment gateway fees for our selling partners simply because we want your business to be as successful as possible.
If your monthly average sales volume surpasses $60,000/month, you can contact support, and we may discuss a rates review to ensure the relationship remains a win-win.
