Why choose Unlicensed.dev?

While Anystack focuses on general product distribution, we're built specifically for developers selling repository access.

A
Anystack Approach

Anystack is a general product platform for selling digital products - courses, ebooks, software, and more. It's built for broad use cases but lacks developer-specific features.

Typical Anystack workflow
Upload files manually
Set up basic payment processing
Manage access manually
No version control integration
Unlicensed.dev Approach

Unlicensed.dev is purpose-built for developers. Connect your GitHub repositories and automatically monetize with advanced permissions, subscriptions, and seamless integration.

Unlicensed.dev workflow

Configure regex access rules
Automated subscriber management
Live repository access
