Freemius

Pozdrav Hrvatska! Croatian is now fully live in Freemius Checkout. Just set your language to “auto” in your Freemius Checkout config, and it handles everything. Buyers in Croatia see Croatian. No extra work on your end. But this post is really about what we built to get here, and what it means for every other language. 🧵

Krakow, get ready! The Freemius team is coming to #WCEU! 🇵🇱 @vovafeldman, @Saarked, @HadasGolzaker, @VitaliiRomaniuk, and @milangd will all be there. Going to WCEU? See if you can find all five and get a selfie with each one. 📸

Envato just moved to a flat 50% cut for all authors. Exclusive or not.💀 Selling directly on Freemius means keeping far more of every sale. Your customers. Your pricing. Your data. Exclusivity is gone. Nothing is stopping you from running both.

Marketplaces can absolutely help you grow. But building your entire business there? That gets expensive fast. If you’re heading to WCEU, come talk to the Freemius team 👋 Curious how other makers are handling this.

And the worst part? Most makers don’t notice the downside until revenue starts growing. That’s when the fees, restrictions, and lack of ownership really hit.

“Built-in traffic” sounds amazing until you realize the traffic isn’t really yours. 🧵

The pipeline means we can ship new languages faster than before, with quality that holds up. Which means: if your buyers speak a language we haven't shipped yet, now is the time to reach out. We'll work with you and any native speakers in your community. More languages are in the pipeline now. Follow for more updates.

We built an AI-assisted pipeline for generating translations, with native speakers doing accuracy reviews before anything goes live. Croatian is the first language through this pipeline at full production scale.

@uriyaganor had zero plugin development experience when starting out. Still found Freemius intuitive, thoughtfully built, and worth calling out publicly. That's the bar. A complete beginner shouldn't need a manual to get moving. Ease of use isn't a nice-to-have. It's part of the job.

Thousands of tax rules. Hundreds of countries. One wrong move and you're non-compliant. That's what "selling globally" actually means. With a Merchant of Record, that's literally not your problem.

If your app is working, why aren’t you charging for it?
