Become an Author – Sell Your Plugins with aescripts
Why Developers Choose aescripts to Sell Their Plugins
Welcome to aescripts + aeplugins—the premier marketplace for creative software, plugins, scripts, and extensions. Since 2008, developers have trusted our platform to distribute tools for After Effects, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Cinema 4D, Blender, and more, empowering creators and redefining workflows across the industry.
Before we dive in, we'd like to thank you for considering us as a partner in your journey. It’s creators like you who inspire everything we do, and we’re honored to help bring your tools to the creative professionals who need them most. Let’s explore how partnering with us can take your work even further.
So, why sell with us? Well... When you join our community, you gain more than just a platform—you gain a partner. From expert guidance to expansive marketing resources and a thriving network of like-minded peers, we provide everything you need to simplify your workflow, amplify your reach, and grow your business.
We are the first and only marketplace that is 100% focused on motion graphics, vfx and editing plugins. Why does this matter? Because other marketplaces are VC funded and cater to anyone which makes it easy for you and your products to get lost and easily ignored. That will never happen with us. If we accept your tool, it is because we believe it will succeed with our audience!
