Help Defold grow

Defold is and always will be free. We offer free cloud builds as well, and we cover its infrastructure costs from the donations. The Defold Foundation is dedicated to the engine development, maintenance, and support, and funds it through community donations, corporate partnerships, partnership deals, and support contracts.

Your support helps keep Defold sustainable, actively developed, and free to use for everyone.
