SmugMug's Don MacAskill

We’ve had this program for awhile, but as always, we suck at PR so you probably didn’t even know. 🙂

It’s pretty simple: Want to build something on SmugMug’s API? You’ll get a lifetime free Pro account ($150/year value) for doing so. Just sign up for a free trial and then drop us a note letting us know what application you’re gonna build, and we’ll take care of the rest.

Already have a SmugMug account? No worries, we’ll upgrade it and make it free for life. Just let us know.

And yes, we’re cool with everyone building commercial apps on top of SmugMug. Thrilled, in fact – we already have hundreds of them. There are only two exceptions we can think of: ‘SmugMug-in-a-box’ where you’re re-selling SmugMug (lots of people sharing a single account), and a situation where SmugMug is basically a database, like an ad server. When in doubt, just ask. Other than those, go wild.
