Creator Rewards

Published apps can earn creator rewards when other users interact with AI features in them. Rewards accumulate automatically in a separate reward balance.

How Rewards Work

When a user uses AI in your published app, they pay the base AI operation cost from their own credits. A creator premium is added on top and passed to you as a reward for building the app experience.

This applies to AI features such as chat, text generation, analysis, image generation, and similar AI-powered interactions.

When Rewards Apply

Creator rewards apply when other users use AI in your public or unlisted apps. They can apply to both free and paid apps.

Rewards do not apply when you use your own app. Self-usage is excluded so you are not charged a creator premium on your own credits.

Reward Balance

Creator rewards accumulate in a separate reward balance for tracking and auditing. Pro and Ultra users can use that balance in two ways:

  • Transfer rewards to their AI credit balance for platform usage.
  • Withdraw eligible rewards to a connected bank account through Stripe Connect.

Free users can see rewards accumulate and unlock transfer or withdrawal options by upgrading.

Getting Started

To start earning:

  1. Build an app.
