STOA's verdictFor builders
Keygen is best for small software companies or indie developers who sell desktop apps or on-premise software and need a reliable way to manage license keys and software distribution.
The free tier handles up to 100 active users with no revenue share, and the $49/month Standard plan is straightforward pricing that won't punish you as you grow. The catch is that this is a developer-first API tool, so if you don't have coding skills or a developer on your team, you'll struggle to set it up.

Keygen needs a developer to set up and use, so we don't give it an owner rating. Here is how each factor looks for a small team that has a developer.
