Free video downloaders typically monetize through aggressive ad networks, fake download buttons that install malware, and pop-ups. We chose to charge a small fee for the API instead — so the website can stay clean. It's a different business model.
Save47's code is public on GitHub. Anyone can verify there are no trackers, no data collection, and no hidden behavior. Closed-source downloaders ask you to trust them without any way to verify.
