SublimeKeys is a licensing and billing platform built for indie developers shipping paid software. It issues and verifies license keys, runs Stripe-powered subscriptions and one-time purchases, and gives you a customer dashboard — so you don't have to build a licensing backend from scratch.
Sign in with just your email (no password), create a product, and drop the official Python or Node.js SDK into your app in a few lines. Your app calls the SDK to validate licenses; SublimeKeys handles the server side.
