Cocos Store vs FanRealms

Cocos Store is a marketplace for developers using Cocos Creator, listing code, plugins, UI assets, applications, artwork, music, sound effects, tools, and other resources. The catalog includes free and paid items, with prices varying by listing; paid resources start at $1.99 one-time. Users can search and filter by category in the Dashboard Store or browse sections for recommendations, recent updates, and free and paid rankings. Listings show Creator version compatibility, and Creator 2.x and 3.x plugins are not directly compatible unless the developer supports both. Purchased resources can be downloaded through the Store built into Cocos Creator; the user guide specifies Creator version 2.3.4 or later for retrieving purchases and updates. Dashboard can add extensions and media to projects, create projects from source-code resources, or save tools locally. Cocos Creator combines an engine, resource management, scene editing, preview, and publishing for 2D and 3D development. The storefront page may prompt users to open CocosDashboard. Cocos identifies Xiamen Yaji as its company and lists Xiamen and Beijing as its headquarters.

FanRealms is a web marketplace and community for indie game creators, built with Godot creators in mind but open to everyone. Members can join free and browse or download assets at no cost. Listings can include sprites, tilesets, shaders, plugins, UI kits, fonts, animations, 3D models, music, sound effects, templates, and complete projects for any engine. Creators upload asset packs for sale, choose a platform fee from 1% to 5% per sale, and pay no monthly or listing fees; the default fee is 5%. Stripe handles payment processing, with a stated fee of about 2.9% + 30¢, and Stripe Connect sends creator earnings automatically to a bank. FanRealms also lists indie games, jobs and gigs for developers, artists, and designers, plus a forum and devlogs. Creators retain ownership and can delete listings. Digital products are usually final sale, though broken or inaccurately described items may receive case-by-case refunds. Payments are secured by Stripe.
