Grow your app with Setapp: revenue, users, & AI

You shipped the app. Now comes the part nobody warns you about.

Billing across dozens of countries. Licensing agreements. Tax compliance. Customer support for users you haven't met yet. And if your app does anything with AI, add provider management and infrastructure costs to the pile. None of that is why you started building — but all of it is now your problem.

Setapp is trying to take it off your plate.

You probably know Setapp as the subscription marketplace — one monthly price, hundreds of Mac apps. On May 21st, they turned toward developers. The pitch is simple: list your app, reach users who are already looking, and let Setapp handle the business layer.

Sam's taking no prisoners

Elon Musk just tried to buy OpenAI for $97.4 billion, and OpenAI hit him with a “no thanks.”

Musk, who helped start OpenAI before leaving in 2018, says the company has lost its way—too closed off, too profit-driven, not the open-source AI utopia he envisioned. So, he and a group of investors made an offer to take control and, presumably, set things right. This comes after Musk sued OpenAI last year, arguing that its for-profit shift betrayed its original mission.

OpenAI’s response? A hard pass. CEO Sam Altman even joked that OpenAI would buy Musk’s X (formerly Twitter) for $9.74 billion instead. Beyond the billionaire drama, the real question is: should AI be controlled by one guy with a lot of money, or... a different guy with a lot of money?.
