Hey Product Hunt! We're Norm and Ben, the co-founders of **UseThatApp (usethatapp.com)**, and we're excited to introduce what we've been building. **Why did we build UseThatApp?** Building software has never been easier. With AI-assisted coding, open-source tools, and modern development frameworks, independent developers can now create applications that once required entire development teams. However, there's still a major problem: **building an app and making money from it are two very different challenges.** You can spend months developing a great product, only to discover that selling it requires an entirely different set of skills and infrastructure: payment processing, subscription management, sales tax compliance, customer acquisition, a website and marketing. We built UseThatApp to help eliminate those barriers. **Who is it for?** Independent developers, indie hackers, AI app builders, SaaS founders, and small software companies who have built something useful and want a quick and easy way to monetize it. Whether you've developed an AI agent, an engineering calculator, a business automation tool, a productivity application, or a specialized web-based solution, we want to help you turn that software into a revenue-generating product quickly and effortlessly. **How does it work?** Our goal is straightforward: **You build the app. We help you sell it.** Developers can list their applications on UseThatApp and provide customers with a buy link designed to handle the commercial side of software sales, including: - **Checkout and payments** — A streamlined purchasing experience for customers. - **Subscriptions** — Support for recurring billing and subscription-based products. - **Sales tax and EU VAT** — Tax calculation and handling through the platform's payment infrastructure. - **Developer payouts** — A mechanism for developers to receive their share of sales revenue. - **Marketplace discovery** — An additional channel where potential customers can find and purchase applications. The idea is to reduce the amount of commerce infrastructure every developer must build and maintain independently. **What we'd really like to hear from developers** We're not here just to announce another marketplace. We're here to learn what would make UseThatApp genuinely valuable to the developer community. A few questions: 1. What's your biggest obstacle to monetizing an application you've already built? 2. Would you prefer a marketplace that manages checkout, subscriptions, tax handling, and payouts rather than integrating those services yourself? 3. What would convince you to list your application on a new marketplace? 4. What features or integrations would you consider essential before trusting a platform to handle your software sales? We're particularly interested in hearing from developers who have working applications but haven't yet found an effective way to commercialize them. **Our long-term vision is to make selling software as straightforward as building it.** Thanks for checking us out. We're looking forward to your feedback and to connecting with developers who want to grow alongside us. — Norm & Ben Co-founders, UseThatApp https://usethatapp.com

What would your first paid web-app plan unlock?

If you've built a working free web app, what would your first paid plan unlock, and what's still keeping it from going live?

We're building UseThatApp for US developers moving to their first paid plan. We'd like to hear where the process is getting stuck, whether that's the offer itself, checkout or access after payment.
