Monetize your creations and earn money by selling apps to users on the platform.
The platform enables creators to monetize their apps through one-time purchases. When you sell an app, buyers pay once upfront and receive permanent access to your app and all future updates you publish.
Before you can sell apps on the platform, you need to set up payouts with our payment partner, Stripe. This is a one-time setup process that enables you to receive payments directly to your bank account.
Heads up: During Stripe setup you may be asked for business details like industry, website, and a product description. If you're an individual creator (not a company), that's totally normal.
Stripe handles all payment processing and payouts automatically. When someone purchases your app, the payment is processed through Stripe, only Stripe's processing fee is deducted, and the remaining amount is transferred directly to your connected bank account.
Stripe automatically transfers your earnings to your bank account on a regular schedule. You can view and manage your payout settings in the Stripe Express dashboard.
View all your app sales and earnings in your sales dashboard. You can also access detailed financial reports through your Stripe dashboard.
When a user purchases your app, the transaction is processed immediately. The buyer gets instant access to your app, and the payment is recorded in your Stripe account.
All payments are processed securely through Stripe, which is PCI-DSS compliant and handles billions of dollars in transactions annually.
The platform supports one-time purchases only. When a user buys your app, they make a single payment and receive permanent access to the app and all future updates.
One-time purchases provide a simple, transparent pricing model that's easy for buyers to understand. Users pay once and own the app forever, receiving all updates at no additional cost. This model works well for utility apps, tools, and templates.
Note on AI usage: Many apps on the platform are AI-powered tools and workflows. While the app purchase is one-time, users consume their own AI credits when using AI features. Users manage credits through their daily free allocation, credit pack purchases, or subscription plans.
We charge 0% platform commission on app sales. Creators keep their sale proceeds minus only Stripe's payment processing fee, passed through at cost.
We do not add a platform markup on app purchases. The deduction shown at checkout is Stripe's processing fee passthrough.
When someone purchases your app, they receive permanent, unrestricted access to the app and all its features. This includes all future updates you make to the app.
Important about AI credits: If your app uses AI features (chat, image generation, text analysis, etc.), those operations consume AI credits from the buyer's account.
Buyers use their own credit allocation (daily free credits, purchased credit packs, or subscription credits) separate from the app purchase. This means buyers may need additional credits to use AI-powered features in your app.
Understanding how the platform handles data, credits, and app access is essential for selling apps successfully.
Each user has their own private, isolated database for every app they use. You as the creator cannot see or access user data. When a user opens your app, they only see their own data, never yours or other users' data.
When someone uses AI features in your app, the AI credits are consumed from their account, not yours. You don't need to worry about AI usage costs or managing API keys.
You receive a one-time payment when someone buys your app. Revenue sharing on credit consumption is not live yet, but it is planned.
User authentication and session management are handled automatically by the platform. Every user is already signed in when they open any app.
Paid apps can be public (discoverable by everyone), unlisted (accessible via direct link), or archived (hidden from discovery but accessible to existing buyers).
As the creator, you always have full access to your own apps. You don't need to purchase your own apps and can edit them at any time.
Not tax advice: Tax rules vary by location and situation. If you're unsure, ask a tax professional.
Sales tax / VAT: App purchases are processed through the platform. If transaction taxes apply, we may collect them at checkout in the future.
Creator income taxes: Your payouts are typically taxable income. If you're a US creator and meet reporting thresholds, you may receive a tax form (such as a 1099) for your earnings.
Many creators on the platform are individuals and don't have a dedicated business website. That's okay - here's what to enter:
Yes! You can update your app at any time, even after it's been purchased by users. When you publish a new version, all existing buyers automatically get access to the updated version at no additional cost. This allows you to fix bugs, add features, and improve your app over time.
Yes, you can archive an app to stop selling it. When you archive an app:
Important: Once an app has been sold, you cannot change it to private. The archive status is the only way to hide a paid app from new purchases while honoring existing buyers' access.
Yes, you can change the price of your app at any time. Price changes only affect new purchases - existing buyers keep their access regardless of price changes.
Refunds are handled by the platform support team. If a buyer requests a refund or if you need to issue one, please contact our support staff who will process the refund manually. Both the purchase amount and Stripe processing fee are refunded in these cases where Stripe returns the fee.
Buyers can use your app but cannot view, modify, or duplicate the code. They receive access to the running app only, not the source code or the ability to fork it.
