Apps and the app builder

An app is a small AI tool built from one or more prompts. You fill in a few fields, such as a subject or a photo, and it generates the result on PromptBase, with no need for your own account with the AI model. You can browse them on the apps page.

Each run costs credits, and the cost is shown on the app before you run it.

Open the app builder. It starts in a simple mode where you describe what you want to make. Switch to Advanced Builder gives you full control over the blocks, models and inputs.

To publish an app so other people can use it, you need:

• A payout method set up on your account
• A title, a description and instructions
• Between 4 and 9 example generations made with the app
• A thumbnail image

Apps are reviewed before they go live, and every edit to a live app is reviewed again.

You set how many credits your app costs to run, above what the AI models in it cost. You earn each time someone else runs it, and you choose how your earnings are split between cash and credits. Cash is paid at $1.00 for every 1,000 credits, into your PromptBase balance.

Runs from your own account, and runs paid for entirely with free credits, don't earn.

When the first version of your app is approved, we return 50% of the credits you spent making its examples.

Only if you allow it. In the Preferences section of your account settings you can let buyers publish apps that use prompts they bought from you, and you earn each time your prompt is used in one. When you list a prompt you can also have an app made from it automatically.
