Buy an app and start using it
Paying for an app, opening it, and getting a refund if it isn't right
Before you buy
You need an account (Set up your account) and enough PAC to cover the price (Add PAC). PAC is pegged 1:1 to USD, so a $5 app costs 5 PAC.
Buying
On the listing, click Buy. You'll see the price, any tax added for your country, and the total before you confirm.
Prices are shown tax-exclusive — the creator's price is the same everywhere, and VAT is added on top based on where you are. The total you see at checkout is what you pay.
Once you confirm, access is immediate. There's no approval step and no waiting.
Opening your app
The app appears in your library. Open it from there and it runs at its own address on the web — nothing to install.
What you get
- A permanent link to your copy of the app, reachable from your library.
- Access for as long as your account exists — purchases are not subscriptions.
- The safety review result for that app, visible on the listing before you buy.
You do not get the source code. What you buy is the running app, not a copy of the project.
Your purchase doesn't expire. It's a purchase, not a subscription, and the app stays in your library.
If the app needs your AI key
Some apps run on AI models and expect you to supply your own provider key. The app will tell you when it needs one. Add your key once and it works across every app that uses that provider — see Connect your own AI keys.
Refunds
You have 14 days from purchase to change your mind, for any reason. You don't have to give one. Open the purchase in your library and request a refund; your access to the app ends when it's processed.
You're refunded the way you paid. A card purchase goes back to the card. A purchase made from your PAC balance goes back to your PAC balance.
Refunds are all or nothing. There's no partial refund of an app, and once an app has been refunded it can't be refunded again.
After 14 days the automatic route closes, but that's not the end of your rights. If an app is faulty, or isn't what the listing described, you can ask for a refund for far longer — up to two years under EU law, which we apply to everyone. That goes through Report a problem.
If an app stops working
Creators can update a published app. If an update breaks something, or an app you bought disappears, report it — your purchase record is kept independently of the creator's listing.
