Open Source Alternative to Lemon Squeezy with lower fees 🔥

In partnership with

Hi — It’s Piotr (@piotrkulpinski on 𝕏)

It's been a while since I sent one of these. The OpenAlternative community is growing, and we now have over 1,500 members 🫶.

Recently, I made a small but significant change to the Repository Health Score® formula by including the "age factor". Previously, the age of the repository didn't affect the score, and naturally, older projects tend to accumulate more stars over time. This should help us to balance between popular, well-established projects and promising newcomers in the open-source community.

You may have also noticed some tools are displaying an exclusive discount code. I’ve started collecting these, so you can expect to see many more in the future 🎉.

Let me know your thoughts!

In celebration of this milestone, Polar has reduced and simplified its fee structure. The new pricing is 4% + 40¢ of the entire order value, including payment processing fees – a significant reduction from their previous rates.
