That is true, sort of. If you don't sell exclusively on Themeforest, the payout rate is approximately half what it would be otherwise. Its a very similar rock-and-hard-place situation that this article is about. You're throwing away significant revenue by selling on your own site and generally not accepting their license agreement because they are the king in the market.
- ars 14y agoI didn't realize they had an exclusivity clause. If that's the case then, yah, the author is kinda stuck.
- noodle 14y agoIts not quite a standard clause -- you do have the choice to sell exclusively or non-exclusively. Non-exclusive cut for the author is 33% and exclusive cut is 50-70%. Its a pretty substantial difference, especially if you make a lot more sales on Themeforest than you do on your own site. You have a choice, you just don't really have a choice IF you're trying to make your living on selling themes.
