Out of the
hive.
Into your box.

"Direct distribution for Blender creators who'd rather build than belong."

Keep selling on Gumroad or LemonSqueezy. Add Blender in-app auto-updates for your customers — without Superhive's 30% cut, and without handing over your customer data to anyone.

The hive is rigged.
And you already know it.

30%

Superhive takes 30% of every sale

Sell a $10 addon. Superhive's 30% cut takes $3.00 off the top — before payment processing fees. That's not a platform fee. That's a toll on every single sale, forever.

"My opinion is that we need another Blender-centric website for selling products." — r/blender (Apr 2025, ~450 upvotes)

Gumroad has no Blender-native updates

You sell. Your customers are stuck on v1.2 forever. Manual email blasts. Version chaos. Meanwhile, free addons on extensions.blender.org update automatically in-app. Your paid addon doesn't.

"Gumroad is fine but there's no in-app update notification." — r/blender (Apr 2025)

Retroactive policy changes, no warning

Superhive just changed the rules on already-purchased licenses. One-time purchases? Now subscriptions. Your customer data? Still theirs.

"It'll straight up kill their platform." — r/blender (Apr 2026, ~287 upvotes)
