Codefling Reviews 56

CF is the best website for Rust plugins!
Everything I have purchased is high quality and has worked great so far. Lots of sellers have support channels and there is some really unique content here to make cool custom servers.

CF ON TOP!

**Avoid this website**

Do Not Purchase from this crook of a website.

They totally ignore legitimate refund requests.
No real customer support.
Takes a huge commission from creators ( Do your research, find creators and purchase directly off them) usually via discord or their websites.

**Avoind this website**

They hide negative reviews so you think the plugins are good. I have submitted several plugin reviews and they only publish the positive ones.

If you try to sell any plugin through them, be prepared to wait months, be continually ignored, and receive evasive responses repeatedly.

I will never buy anything from Codefling again.

Staff removes the feedback from the page, it's literally a dictatorship to avoid at all costs.

I personally am starting to grow hate for these parasitic devs, you are not offering a service anymore at this point.

nasty and dishonest, will be putting my money elsewhere

Horrible experience as a creator, I made a free plugin, which was denied, and a week later redistributed, by one of the friends of the curators for 10$.

The review system is horrible, if you have a friend, you may pass the review within days, but otherwise, be prepared to wait for 4-6 weeks for each plugin you wish to publish.

Zero Customer service, No communication till PayPal was involved would save yourselves the headache and go to the Dev's themselves and cut out the shady middleman.

Do your research before spending your money with these guys, I have after this issue and if I'd have taken the time to do it prior I wouldn't of given them the time of day never mind my money.

Will hold the products you have paid for hostage after they fail to give a simple reply.

I bought two mods from Codefling.
One mod is working but the other (Vehicle Fuel Manager) is not.
I submitted a support request for the mod. Several days and no response.
I tried "Live Chat" with Codefling support, it said they were not working and that they would email a response. No email yet.
I posted a negative review of the mod due it not working and not getting support. Review was not posted.

Pretty disappointing.

You can find a lot of original plugins, regular discounts, and the site is always active and online.
If you're a developer looking to sell your plugin, this seemed like the perfect place, you'd expect to find people who appreciate and value your work.

Edit:
Unfortunately, my experience with Codefling has taken a turn due to the way the curators manage submissions. Some products aren't accepted simply because I don't set the prices they believe are "market appropriate", completely ignoring the time and effort I put into them.
They also rejected certain products, claiming they were too difficult for customers, even though I provided a full beginner-friendly tutorial right on the product page.
Ironically, this criticism came from a staff member who is selling a barely-modified version of a free plugin (which no longer gets support) for $10.
Honestly, that's just disappointing.

Be aware this site, Customer service not exist.
Another thing as a man with right Free to speak.

I was giving many opinion on that site, also provide some help for other users.

To day my account was banned without giving a reason, So now i ask how i suppose to update any plugin that i pay for.

Also the whole web are so heavy moderate, it doesn't matter what you write. If your comment or opinion is not liked by the plugin author, your comment or opinion is deleted almost immediately.
I know this from my own experience with this website. Whispers88 doesn't like bad opinions, he only likes the good ones, he doesn't take into account any criticism from customer, if they think we dont have any right they are wrong because without us they are nothing.

And what evidence do you have that I stealing files from your web. Did i hack your web - NO
did i get any extra permission - NO
So give an evidence instead of slandering me

Pretty easy to use, but the on-site reviews are heavily moderated so I cannot recommend trusting them.

Great platform for developers of rust products to sell there works there is all kinds of good products on Codefling but still has some downfalls when it comes to the 3rd party sellers.

+
There support section for the developer's to support there product is a nice touch makes it easy to keep track of what is going on and gives ya a 1x1 with the customer.
-
Coupon codes needs improvements every time i have given anyone a code it has failed both times and the buyer gets agitated they do not have direct access.

-1
They Believe they own rights to your product after listed they assume they reserve the right to grant anyone a license to your product even if you wish the person not to be able to obtain a license to your product with there site. They give you rights to grant anyone a license but do not give you the ability to revoke and refund a license or block a member from ordering your product.

-1
Do not repeatedly ask a codefling admin to do something they only can and need to do. They consider it Hassling and will use it as an excuse to retaliate for leaving a review to punish you.

Example in my case.
Asking for a refund for a customer who wants a refund on 3 separate days with out a response.

A review with less stars then they would like is Considered attacking them and resulted in punishments.

Be aware that many of the good reviews here is by people working together with codefling.

I have bought a few plugins on the site, and had some working plugins and some broken plugins. Support for costurmers is the worst i have ever experienced when you have problems.

All plugins on codefling has grait reviews. I have written 3 honest reviews, and not a single one has been puplished because i dont say the plugins is perfect 5 star.

I've been using Codefling for almost a year now, have spent here hundreds of dollars. This is my first go to place for quality Rust plugins.

Administration was very polite and professional, at least in my experience. Shocked to see bad comments about Moderator (Mals), we communicated on different occasions and he was helpful beyond initial review related questions.

Yes, if you leave bad review for a plugin you will need to clarify what went wrong and make sure you were using it correctly (As the configuration can get quite complex sometimes). In my case I had plugin conflict with other plugins so it wasn't working correctly so I've adjusted my initial review.
It was still possible to leave bad review, for example if developer is unresponsive to support requests.

Overall plugin support is done by developers itself not by Codefling staff so I don't understand rage posts here about broken plugins. Always reach developers first to resolve any issues you have with specific product.

I also always check public Support section of a plugin before purchasing to see if there are some ongoing issues with it and how fast developer handles previous requests. If it looks shady I just don't buy it, so having this option was very helpful in making a decision.

So overall, as a buyer, I'm currently happy with Codefling and will continue to be their customer.

Im a seller, and they treat me well :)

Have had several of my plugins and artwork turned down because they say "it looks AI generated". How can a plugin look AI generated, or more so, how can it NOT look AI generated? I have also submitted the layers in gimp to prove art was mine but was still turned down. Happened more than 4 times before I gave up. Seems like you need to know someone to get your items on the site.

Not worth my time.

**edit**
I have been coding for quite some time, it's very weird that people who think they know better, can spot someone that codes better than them, and accuse them of using AI. Seems they love to just accuse various things. From what I see. AI, and piracy. What's next? As for the art, when I have submitted layers and that too gets denied. How else are you to prove it. I noticed this part was just skimmed over. I also find it very sus that there is so many plugins on CF website, that are indeed AI generated. I have talked to a few developers on discord where they have said they use AI to generate those plugins.

I'm Primarily a map maker. I decided to get into it on a Simi professional level. At the start, I was not very good. I was getting denied on other platforms do to my Generic maps. But my key selling points was to have normal maps that focus on performance as well as better compatibility for plugins like raidable bases. I went over to Codefling and they accepted me even with my generic maps. After a while I was able to get better at my map skills and flourished. Thanks to codefling. I felt accomplished and motivated to make more maps. That's why I exclusively sell on Codefling.

I'm a creator on CodeFling (if they don't try to ban me for this review, that is).

The owners asked all creators to submit a review which is not really that legitimate imo, so I came to post my own from my experience.

The admin "Raul" has been quite rude and condescending to me, going so far as to make totally unwarranted threats about not letting me cash out my earnings (stealing my sales), even as a developer which they should want to support. I no longer make plugins for their site and don't even like to update the ones I have made (but I do for the people who purchased them) because of the admins' behavior and I personally know a lot of talented and long-time developers in the community who feel the same way. That's why so many developers use their own sites and why competitor sites were established.

They really need to be more mature and kind. Instead they act like everyone who isn't on their inside circle is their enemy.

Their payouts have been an inconsistent mess.

They rudely chase away their own clients and creators who have no alternative recourse except to post reviews like this.

The commission rates that Codefling takes is too much. As a beginner creator, I sell something simple for $1.99, I end up getting $1.26 which is only 63% of the sale, Codefling gets 37% for doing nothing but hosting and moderating uploads.

This setup is only beneficial for those that sell high dollar items and those who want to sell affordable items to the community are at a disadvantage.

Edit: I know how your commission setup works. My issue is with the fact low cost creators are punished for offering cheaper products. I shouldn't have to raise my prices because of your greed.

From the consumer side, I will say that the creator of Codefling is angry and incompetent in his business)
If you want to get an answer from him - also try to get an answer and not be sent to hell! If it weren't for the creator and the site administration, I would also put a higher star, but I don't recommend it.

To be fair the website is the best compare with the rest, there still a lot to be improved but it is great for the creator and buyer perspective

The UX for creators need a lot of improvements, it is confusing and quite a mess, but still is working once you get your ways around

From the buyer point of view is great, very reliable

My 2cents will be add a new menu options for creators with a simplified way to see their options

and a big big big complain about the time for plugins to be approved, it is fair if they have a long queue for approvals, but they don't give enough visibility of how long this process might take
