    What does the $100 server key unlock (besides “supporter status”), since features aren’t paywalled?

      As we’re committed not to add paywalls, this purchase will not grant you any additional features in Immich. We rely on users like you to support Immich’s ongoing development.

        I read that. (I literally mentioned features not being paywalled in the original comment.)

        If the key doesn’t unlock features, what does it unlock?

        Do you get a little thank you message from the devs when you enter it in? Does it add a “Supporter” tag next to your name on the app settings?

        The practice exists in both software and games of adding paid cosmetics (e.g. Discord or Deep Rock Galactic) that don’t change the core featureset but allow users to pay more to suppor the developerst, so I think it’s a valid question.

      Bragging rights and improved sleeping ability from the knowledge that the devs are being supported.

      The serious answer is it’s often easier for people in a company to buy a license key than it is for them to arrange a donation to the devs. So this is an easy way to make small donations.

      It’s a donation that is deceptively framed in my opinion, bit of a dark pattern, but the product is fully open source so most give it a pass.
