However, it seems plugins like Zapier are still running. Even though their plugin is free, their service supports paid subscriptions.
For this reason, we are still planning to develop everything that could help plugin creator to monetize their service, even though we’ll not integrate any plugin paywall system based flow.
So we would like to know if some of you are planning to monetize your plugin/API in any way.
If yes, feel free to share how you are planning/willing to do it.
This feedback could help us create the best service for you to handle payment/subscriptions and protection of your plugin paid-endpoints with ease
