FanRealms vs KitBash3D

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.
