About Ultrapack

Ultrapack is a catalog of WordPress plugins and themes distributed under the GPL license. It has been online since 2016 and today holds 23,927 items from more than a hundred developers: Elementor, Crocoblock, WooCommerce, Gravity Forms, LearnDash, ThemeForest and others.

This is not a dormant repository. 8,009 updates were delivered this month, and 1,066 sites receive those updates automatically through UAU, the automatic updater built by Ultrapack.

Access is available through membership or single item. The catalog is served in Portuguese, English and Spanish, with prices in BRL, USD, and EUR.

How updates reach you

Buying a GPL plugin is easy; keeping it updated is the real work. Anyone who works with WordPress knows the problem: the item was bought once, the developer has released six versions since then, and the only way to keep up is to download the file, log into the site, remove the old version and upload the new one, item by item, site by site.

UAU (Ultrapack Auto Updater) is the plugin Ultrapack built to solve this. Installed once on the site, it connects that site to the Ultrapack account and shows the available updates inside the WordPress dashboard itself, in the same place official updates appear. One click installs.

That is why the work does not end at the sale: every new version released by a developer has to be checked, packaged and published. That happened 8,009 times this month alone.

WordPress shouldn't be expensive

Most people are familiar with the term ‘open source’. This means that a piece of software, or code, is free to be used, copied, studied, modified, improved, or redistributed.

Ultrapack was born from this principle: making it easier to access quality tools, reducing costs and expanding opportunities for developers, designers, and businesses.

Any software built with WordPress must carry the original GPL license with it.

‘… we feel strongly that plugins and themes are derivative work and thus inherit the GPL license.’ – wordpress.org

Why GPL distribution is legal

This doesn’t mean developers can’t charge for the code they’ve built. What it means is that once you’ve purchased that code, you’re free to do whatever you want with it.

‘…if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.’
GPLv2 License

Therefore, it is perfectly legal to redistribute GPL files.

A brief notice

The GPL license covers the code. The official support from the developer, the API license and the services they host are separate contracts, they stay with whoever sells them and they do not come with the item. That is why we can redistribute the software for a fraction of the original price.

Ultrapack provides platform support, in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Support covers account access, downloads, basic installation, and known compatibility issues. It does not include custom development, advanced troubleshooting, or the original developer’s support services.

Ultrapack redistributes software created by independent developers under the GPL. Product names and trademarks identify their respective owners.

Therefore, we reaffirm:

All items included in Ultrapack are developed by third parties and redistributed under the terms of the General Public License (GPL). Ultrapack is not associated with or affiliated with any developer featured here. Names, expressions, and trademarks are used to the extent necessary to identify the products according to their specific use, and to leave no doubt as to who their respective authors are.


Frequently asked questions

Yes. Every version is scanned before it is published by our own engine, which combines ClamAV and YARA rules. The result is shown on each item’s page, with the number of files analyzed, the engine version and the scan date. Right now that is 23,926 clean items across the catalog, with no confirmed malicious code to date. The few items ever flagged were false positives in the vendor’s own legitimate JavaScript, the kind any antivirus marks by heuristics.

We do not add code of our own inside the plugins and themes, we do not inject advertising, we do not include trackers and we do not distribute files of unknown origin. Every item has a recorded source and a published version history.

An honest recommendation, and it applies to any software source, the official one included: on a client site, update on staging first, with a backup, and only then in production.

Yes, in one specific place: the license check. The item is delivered ready to run without an activation key from the developer.

We would rather answer this head on, because it is the question that feeds the most distrust when it goes unanswered. Modifying a program received under the GPL and redistributing the modified version is exactly one of the rights the license grants, alongside the right to use, study and copy it. It is not a loophole and it is not a gray area: it is the text of the license the item was published under by its own author.

That modification removes the gate that demands the key. It does not change the item’s features, it does not change how it behaves on your site and it does not add anything. There is never injected advertising, trackers, code of our own running inside the item, remote access to your site, or other resellers’ branding.

The honest consequence: removing the gate makes the item run, but it does not create a service that is not ours. Features that depend on the vendor’s own server, such as template libraries they host or calls to an API of theirs, stay unavailable, because they are not in the code.

This is the part that causes the most misunderstanding, so it comes before the price.

You get: the plugin or theme file, complete and working; new versions as the developer releases them; one-click updates inside WordPress through our auto-updater; Ultrapack platform support in Portuguese, English, and Spanish, within the scope described above; use on client sites; and a refund within 7 calendar days.

You do not get: a transferable developer license key with GPL downloads; their official technical support; access to the APIs and services they host; template libraries served from the vendor’s server; nor a guarantee that every item will get continuous or immediate updates.

If your project needs a vendor-hosted feature, check whether the relevant license activation service is available or purchase a license directly from the developer. Where GPL solves it, it solves it for a fraction of the price.

It does. It is not listed on the plans page: it only shows up during short promotional windows. Anyone who has one keeps access with no expiration date.

Seven calendar days from the purchase, through any official channel: the contact email, the site form or a support ticket. We do not ask for a reason. The rule is written in our Terms and Conditions, under “Reembolso”, and it holds exactly as written there.
