How it works
1. Submit
Upload your app as a .zip with an index.html. Add a cover image, description, and testing notes.
2. We Review
Our team tests your app and approves it. Once live, subscribers discover it instantly.
3. Get Paid
Earn 60% of net revenue, split by your share of total unlocks. Paid monthly via PayPal.
Revenue example
Say Launch Arcade has $10,000 in net subscription revenue this month. 60% ($6,000) goes to the creator pool.
Your app got 500 unlocks out of 50,000 totalunlocks platform-wide. That's a 1% share.
Your payout: $60 — for a single app, with no payment integration, no pricing decisions, no checkout flows.
