Revenue Model¶

Structure¶

pie title Revenue Sources (projected)
    "Pro App Subscriptions" : 40
    "Pro Game Subscriptions" : 15
    "Pro Website Subscriptions" : 25
    "Pro Agent Subscriptions" : 20

How it works¶

Free tier (FAS, FGS, FWS, FAGS)¶

Cost to user: $0 forever
Revenue: $0 (these are acquisition channels, not profit centers)
Cost to operate: ~$50/mo total (Cloudflare Workers free tier covers most; R2 costs negligible at current scale)

Pro tier (PAS, PGS, PWS, PAGS)¶

Single platform subscription: $9/month

One subscription unlocks EVERY Pro app, game, site, and agent. No per-item pricing.

Creator payouts (Spotify model): 1. User subscribes for $9/mo 2. Platform takes 10% fee ($0.90) 3. Remaining $8.10 distributed to creators proportional to that user's usage 4. Usage = time spent + API calls per app per month 5. Stripe Connect for creator payouts

Example unit economics¶

Metric	Value
Subscription price	$9/mo
Platform fee	10% ($0.90)
Creator pool	$8.10/subscriber/mo
Infrastructure cost/subscriber	~$0.50/mo (Workers AI, D1, R2)
Gross margin on platform fee	~44% after infra

PWS (exception)¶

ProWebStore uses per-site pricing (not the platform subscription) because each site is an independent deployment with its own infrastructure costs.

Current state¶

Pre-revenue — marketplace mechanics built (Stripe live on PAS) but not yet charging
Focus: Build ecosystem density first, then turn on monetization
Target: 1000+ free items across stores before launching Pro subscriptions publicly
