About Launch Arcade
Launch Arcade is a subscription web app store. For one monthly price, you unlock and play hundreds of browser-based apps and games — instantly, with no downloads, no installs, and no separate accounts. Everything runs in your browser, on any device, the moment you click Launch.
What is Launch Arcade?
Launch Arcade is a curated catalog of 500+ browser apps spanning games, creative tools, productivity, education, music, and developer utilities. Instead of buying or installing each app separately, you subscribe to a single membership and unlock the ones you want. Every app opens instantly in the browser — there is nothing to download and nothing to manage.
How does it work?
Pick a subscription tier, browse the catalog, and unlock the apps you want to play. Each unlock gives you 24 hours of access; when the window closes, that slot frees up so you can unlock something new. Your tier sets how many apps you can keep unlocked at once. Every app also offers a free 60-second demo, so you can try it before spending a slot.
How much does Launch Arcade cost?
Launch Arcade has three paid tiers: Basic at $4.99/month gives 5 unlock slots, Pro at $9.99/month gives 15 slots, and Max at $19.99/month gives unlimited slots. Each slot holds an app for 24 hours, then frees up for something new. The free tier lets you unlock and play as many free apps as you like — no slot limit — plus a one-time 60-second demo of any app in the catalog. You can cancel anytime and keep access through the end of your billing period. See full details on the pricing page.
What can you play on Launch Arcade?
The catalog includes arcade, puzzle, strategy, and RPG games; creative tools for drawing, pixel art, and making music; productivity apps like timers and planners; educational tools; and developer utilities. New apps are added regularly, and a rotating set of daily picks highlights something fresh to play each day. Everything works on desktop and mobile browsers.
How do creators earn on Launch Arcade?
Launch Arcade is a two-sided marketplace. Independent creators publish their own browser apps and earn 60% of subscription revenue, split proportionally by how often their apps are unlocked and played. The catalog is also seeded with high-quality, permissively licensed open-source apps, and every submission is reviewed before it goes live.
Why we built it
We believe great software should be easy to reach. That is why everything on Launch Arcade runs right in your browser, on any device, the moment you click Launch — no app stores, no installs, no clutter. One subscription, a whole catalog, instant access.
