Any commercial apps on portableapps.com?

We have 3 commercial applications (prices in the range $30 to $99 per user for a perpetual license). They are all portable, in that they can optional store their preferences in a .ini file and are available to install as a zip file (as well as a Windows installer). We were considering making them available through portableapps.com. It doesn't look too difficult from https://portableapps.com/development/portableapps.com_format, mostly just a specific folder arrangement and a .ini file. But we looked through a sample of the available applications and could only see free applications. Are there any commercial applications on the platform?

No commercial apps yet

We mostly do open source with some freeware, but commercial apps are possible. The closest we have to commercial software right now are a small handful of apps that have completely free functionality, but also some advanced functionality behind a license.

The PortableApps format is open for all to use, however for us to include it in our app database for users to receive automatic updates etc. there would need to be a business agreement in place.

You can contact the business development email address here to discuss further.
