What sets Keygate apart
Free to self host, with every feature
Keygate is open source. The version you run yourself has every feature, with no paid edition and no limits on products, licenses or activations.
Payments without glue code
Connect Stripe and checkouts create licenses, renewals extend them, and failed payments, cancellations and refunds update them. There is no webhook handler for you to write.
Licensing and updates in one place
Store signed releases in S3 compatible storage and serve update feeds for Sparkle, Velopack and Tauri, limited to customers whose license covers the update.
