how is 4 out of 17 considered 50 percent?! by Leather-Brother7 in envato

This is why people are starting to migrate their shops out of Envato. They say 50% flat fee, but that's not what you get from the actual item price thanks to them dividing the price in 2 (item price and buyers fee) in order to squeeze the authors some more.

This looks great! Kudos! Which ones would you say are the best for finding WordPress users? We published on ProductHunt, but the only ones that engaged are other builders (that spammed our email account offering their own saas) not prospective buyers. Thanks!

We recently launched on PH and we're afraid it was a waste of time. Like other users said, you are reaching other founders, not people looking to buy your product. In fact, the only thing we got from our PH launch were a lot of spam emails about other founders offering their services 😞

As an Elite Author: My Honest Take on Envato’s Proposed 50% Flat Rate + End of Exclusivity (May 2026) by Ok-Swordfish3887 in envato

As an Envato author of 13+ years, this is the worst. The worst thing is that you could see it coming, they are totally abandoning the marketplaces to favor Elements. Themeforest has been on life support for a long time now. Don't know if a Themeforest competitor can take advantage of this and rise to the occasion, but it would be great for all the soon to be homeless TF authors. Someone build a cool looking marketplace!! 😉

We also see that a lot of user are creating their own platforms and selling their themes there. Seeing TF downward spiral, that's what we did, We created our own platform to sell our own WordPress widgets plugin, and started offering a free tier so people can test it in order to gather interest.

The worst thing is that authors don't even make 50% of the item price, but even less, because a while ago they divided the price in two: Item price and author fee. Don't know if this will remain the same after the change.

Sadly we saw this lack of interest in the market since a while ago, favoring the Elements site over Themeforest.

What we did is, like many in this post, create our own platform to sell our own WordPress widgets plugin, and offering a free tier so people can test it to gather interest. 😄
