💸 Revenue Model

Your app earns.
You keep 100%.

We charge for the platform. Everything your app generates — from purchases, subscriptions, and ads — goes straight to you.

Zero revenue share  ·  Zero hidden cuts  ·  Zero lock-in
💰

The deal is simple.

We charge you a flat platform fee. In return, every dollar your app earns is yours — no percentage, no rake, no surprise deductions at payout. Stripe sends money directly to your bank. Ad networks pay your ad account. We never touch your revenue.

✦ Payments Roadmap

Two ways to monetize your app

Live now and coming soon — both designed so you earn without us in the middle.

💳
V1 Stripe Checkout Live Now

The fastest way to start earning. Drop in your Stripe API key — the system generates a hosted checkout page on your app's domain. Your users pay. Stripe deposits to your bank. You never share a cut with us.

🔑
Your Stripe, your account
Add your Stripe API key in settings. Payments flow directly into your Stripe account — not a shared or managed one.
🛒
Hosted checkout page, auto-generated
A checkout page is created on your app's web domain. Clean, mobile-ready, branded to your app. No coding required.
🔗
App links out, webhook confirms
Your app links to checkout. After payment, Stripe sends a webhook back to confirm — your app unlocks access automatically.
💸
100% to you — no platform rake
We don't take a percentage. Stripe's standard processing fee (2.9% + 30¢) applies because that's Stripe's cost, not ours.
📺
V2 Ad Revenue Coming Soon

Passive income on autopilot. We're adding support for major ad networks so your app earns even when no one's buying — just browsing. Same deal: your ad account, your revenue, nothing routed through us.

📱
AdMob integration (and others)
Connect your own Google AdMob account. Banner, interstitial, and rewarded ad formats — your app, your placements.
🏦
Your ad account, your payouts
Ad networks pay you directly through your own account. Revenue goes straight to your bank on the network's normal payout schedule.
😴
Passive income while you sleep
Once configured, ad revenue flows automatically with zero ongoing work. Monetize your free tier, non-paying users, or build a fully free ad-supported app.
💸
0% platform cut on ad earnings
We don't take any percentage of your ad revenue. The network's standard revenue share with publishers is all you'll pay — to them, not us.

✦ Common Questions

Questions about getting paid

Everything you need to know before you ship.

No. We charge a flat monthly platform fee — that's how we make money. We have zero financial interest in what your app earns. Every dollar from your users goes to your Stripe account or your ad network account.
Stripe's standard card processing fee: 2.9% + 30¢ per successful transaction in the US (rates vary by country and card type). That's Stripe's cost for processing the payment — it goes to Stripe, not to us. You can see full Stripe pricing at stripe.com/pricing.
Yes, you'll need a free Stripe account. Signing up at stripe.com takes about 5 minutes. Once you have an account, grab your API key from the Stripe dashboard and paste it into your app settings. Stripe handles all the compliance, fraud detection, and payouts from there.
Stripe's standard payout schedule is 2 business days after a successful charge (US). You can configure this in your Stripe dashboard — daily, weekly, or manual payouts are all options. We have no role in the payout timing.
Recurring subscriptions are on the near-term roadmap. V1 covers one-time purchases via Stripe Checkout. Subscription billing — weekly, monthly, annual — will follow shortly. When it launches, same deal: Stripe handles the recurring billing, you keep 100%.
We haven't announced an exact date. Ad network integration is actively in development. When it ships, you'll be able to connect AdMob (and likely others) directly to your app. Founder plan subscribers will get early access and first notification.
Your revenue is yours regardless. Since payments go through your own Stripe account, canceling our subscription doesn't touch your money or your Stripe account. What changes is access to the platform for building new features. Any revenue from existing purchases is already in your account.
