Meet our client Jennifer and her team of Digital Marketers. Jeniffer leads a team of 3 women, they work with small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and help them improve their online presence. The team creates and maintains websites for clients as part of its Digital Marketing offerings.
How Much Can The Use Of GPL Save You? Is It Worth It?
A few hundred dollars at least. Ask Jennifer.
Our first project with Jen was a small WooCommerce Subscriptions setup, she wanted to accept Stripe payments from her clients on a monthly basis, a typical project for a small website. She was willing to pay $200 for buying WooCommerce Subscriptions. She didn’t even know what GPL was and that she could get premium plugins for free. I showed her GPL Fan and explained to her what GPL was and that it was a hundred percent legal. She was very happy to discover how using GPL could save her money which she could invest in her company instead. In this project, she quickly decided to give us the $200 in exchange for additional work on her website, this is how happy she was.
This was just a small setup on an already existing website, you can imagine how much one would have to pay in plugins and themes, it could easily be $500 to $1000 per website and for a Digital Marketing company, it could easily be tens of thousands of dollars a year, mostly recurring.
Using freely available WordPress GPL plugins and themes is a smart choice, it’s totally worth it.

What About Support From the Original Author?
“You don’t get support from the original author” you may tell. You must know that the support is what you are buying actually, very basic support, mostly email-based support and you’ll actually be talking most probably to a low-paid freelancer and not the original author, you will be asked to pay again for the smallest customization. Is this really what you are looking for.
Why Didn’t We Sell To Jen?
We could have easily sold WooCommerce Subscriptions to Jenniffer for $50, $100 or even $200 which is the original price but we don’t believe in this way of thinking or working, we actually give a damn and we empathize with our clients, this is, in fact, one of the reasons we created this website (GPL Fan), we never intended to sell anything other than our work and we wanted to have a library of themes and plugins that we can use in our own projects and share with clients and non-clients alike for free.
We created GPL Fan because we actually give a damn and we empathize with our clients. It’s a library that clients and non-clients alike can access for free.
