Making Premium GPL Products More Accessible

Real GPL helps website owners, developers, bloggers and creators access premium WordPress products at a more affordable price.

The idea behind Real GPL

Real GPL was created with a simple goal: to make premium WordPress themes and plugins more accessible to people who already have the knowledge to install, configure and use them without requiring ongoing developer support.

Premium WordPress products can be expensive, especially when a website owner or small developer needs several products for multiple projects. For freelancers, bloggers and small businesses, those costs can quickly add up.

Our approach is to give knowledgeable users a more affordable way to access GPL-licensed software while keeping the experience simple, direct and easy to navigate.

The foundation of this model is open-source software. WordPress is built around the GPL, a license that gives users important freedoms to use, study, modify and redistribute software under its applicable license terms.

What does this mean for you?

If you already know your way around WordPress, you can choose the products you need without paying extra for services you may not require. That can make a meaningful difference when you are managing several websites or working within a limited project budget.

GPL licensing also gives users freedoms that are central to open-source software. The exact rights and obligations depend on the applicable license, so we encourage users to understand the license associated with any software they use or redistribute.

Our aim is straightforward: make it easier for knowledgeable users to discover, access and use the products they need at an affordable price.

Open-source principles, explained simply

WordPress is open-source software distributed under the GNU General Public License (GPL). You can learn more about the WordPress license on the official WordPress website > here.

The GPL is designed to preserve users’ freedoms to use, study, modify and share software, subject to the terms of the applicable license. When using or redistributing GPL software, it is important to understand and follow those terms.

Who are we?

Real GPL focuses on digital products used in website development, including WordPress themes, plugins and other web-development software.

We started this project in 2019 with the goal of creating a straightforward destination for people looking for premium website products at more accessible prices.

Our focus is on making the product discovery and download experience simple, with clear product pages, easy navigation and direct access where available.

We aim to keep the website practical and user-friendly so that developers, freelancers, bloggers and website owners can spend less time searching for products and more time building their projects.

What you should know before buying

Real GPL is designed primarily for users who are comfortable managing WordPress products themselves. Our pricing is focused on providing access to software rather than bundling every product with the developer’s full support, licensing services or other premium services.

Need ongoing technical support, official vendor assistance or a developer-managed license? In that case, we recommend purchasing directly from the original developer. Links to the relevant developers are provided on product pages where applicable.

Real GPL is not the original author or developer of the third-party products listed on this website. Product names, trademarks and brand references belong to their respective owners. We provide those references to help customers identify the original source of a product and make an informed purchasing decision.

We are not affiliated with, sponsored by, endorsed by or officially connected with the third-party companies and developers whose products may appear on this website unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Before using or redistributing any GPL-licensed software, please review the applicable license and make sure your use complies with its terms.
