Why Developer Monetization is Broken
Unlike designers (Dribbble, Gumroad) or writers (Medium, Substack), developers lack a unified platform. You're forced to patch together marketplaces, payment processors, access control systems, and analytics tools. Uhpenry introduces "Gated-Source" - a new model that lets you control exactly how your code is shared and monetized.

Built for Developers, Not Retrofitted
See how Uhpenry compares to general creator platforms when it comes to features that actually matter for code monetization and developer workflows.
Gated-Source Innovation
The first platform to offer true "Gated-Source" - control exactly how your code is shared, from free trials to premium access, all with cryptographic verification.
Snapcharge-Only Fees
8% when you earn (6% for early builders), with 1% donated back to open-source. No subscriptions, no hidden costs, complete transparency in your earnings dashboard.
Snapgate & Snapshot Security
Time-sensitive access points (Snapgate) and immutable project ledgers (Snapshot) ensure your code is protected while maintaining full audit trails.
The Shopify for Developers
Just like Shopify unified e-commerce, Uhpenry unifies developer monetization. One platform for licensing, payments, access control, analytics, and team collaboration.
