How to Download or Subscribe to Digital Peak Joomla Extensions

Updated

Digital Peak offers two paths on joomla.digital-peak.com: a Download entry for the free, fully functional GPL versions of its extensions, and a Subscribe page for paid professional bundles with advanced features and developer support. Start with the free download if you want to evaluate an extension on a live site; go straight to Subscribe if you already know you need the pro features or priority support.

What you get on each path

Free ("Get it free") Pro ("Become a pro")
Cost Free Paid subscription bundles, "clear prices and no hidden fees"
License GPL Subscription-based
Features "Fully functional FREE versions" "Advanced features"
Support Not described as included "Top support" with answers "directly from our developers"
Refunds Not applicable 30-day money-back guarantee, "no question asked"
Privacy "No calls home" Same product line

The site states its mission is to support the Joomla ecosystem and Open Source ideology, which is why free versions exist alongside the paid bundles.

Downloading a free extension

  1. Open joomla.digital-peak.com.
  2. Use the Download link (visible in the top navigation alongside Blog, About, Demo, Subscribe, Ask and Documentation).
  3. Pick the extension you want — for example DPCalendar (the Joomla calendar) or DPAttachments (the free attachment extension).
  4. Install the package through your Joomla administrator's extension installer as you would any Joomla extension.

Expected result: a working, GPL-licensed extension on your site with no license key and no outbound "call home" behaviour.

Verification: after install, confirm the extension appears in your Joomla extension list and that its component or module loads without errors. If you want to see behaviour before installing, the Demo link lets you look at the extensions in action first.

Subscribing to a pro bundle

  1. From the same navigation, open Subscribe (direct URL: https://joomla.digital-peak.com/subscribe).
  2. Choose the subscription bundle that matches the extensions you need.
  3. Complete checkout. The site advertises transparent pricing and a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Expected result: access to the pro versions plus developer support for the subscription term.

Common sticking point: the free and pro versions are the same products at different tiers, so if you subscribe after already running the free version, you are upgrading rather than replacing — plan for that in your update routine.

Which path fits your situation

  • Choose free if you are testing whether an extension fits your site, running a low-traffic or personal project, or you specifically want GPL software with no external licence checks.
  • Choose pro if you need the advanced feature set, want support answered by the developers themselves, or are running a client site where downtime matters and the 30-day refund window gives you a safety net.

Why the source matters for this decision

Digital Peak has been active since 2007 and states it built Joomla's custom fields feature and contributes to the Joomla core development group, with team members maintaining the core CMS and leading the automated testing group. That background is the main argument for trusting either tier: the free version is not a crippled demo, and the paid tier funds continued maintenance — the site's blog, for instance, documents security fixes shipped after an audit.

Practical notes

  • The site's latest download mentioned at the time of writing is DPCalendar 10.12.1.
  • Documentation and an "Ask" channel are linked from the main navigation, so you can check requirements before installing.
  • If you only need one extension, check whether it has a free version before subscribing to a full bundle.
