There is little to no time spent in this article on how photopea is monetized. I even went to the product itself to find out but couldn’t, at least on mobile. Is there some subscription? What do you pay for? Genuinely asking since I used it a few times and never noticed any payment nagging.

Sorry, I interviewed Ivan and he said roughly 90% of the revenue comes from ads.

I also asked him if he considered creating his own header bidding system, but he said this wasn’t worth it

Look at photopea.com/ads.txt. He's allowed most of adtech to sell his traffic.

Have a look at the 'Advertising' section.

There are ads on the very right side of the browser. You can pay to remove the ads.

Open the website without an adblocker and you'll see how. There's huge banner ads on the side.

Oh right I probably have a content blocker enabled.

Still surprising how much as revenue they’re generating

Ads, premium subscriptions to turn off the ads, and licensing to other sites that then host it under different names with more ads.

25% of our users use Photopea on mobile, but we do not monetize it in these cases, as we think your screen is already too small.
