Adjust Revenue sharing?

JetBrains Marketplace Monetization
1

Hi everybody,

Times are hard for everyone, including developers of commercial plugins. Our revenue has been gradually declining over the past year or two. I’m sure there are many reasons for this, but we cannot ignore the impact of LLMs on employment, budget cuts, etc., and maybe software piracy (my statistics suggest a minimum of 20%, but it is a very complex issue, and we cannot eliminate it, only mitigate it), I wonder if JetBrains could adjust the current revenue-sharing system and slightly reduce the commission rate. This would help, and for some of us, it would help to stay in business, as we are increasingly questioning the profitability of the time invested in developing our plugins.

Thx for your understanding.

That’s a strategic move. It’s a proactive step to curb user churn, and I believe it will foster a healthier, more balanced ecosystem for everyone involved.

Hi, thank you for raising this question. Something can probably be adjusted or reworked regarding revenue sharing. We will discuss this within the team.
