No. The submission fee covers a real, human review of your submission and is charged once at the time you submit, regardless of the outcome. It isn't a pay-to-win queue. It's what funds us actually reading and considering every idea that comes in.
The current fee is always shown on the submission page before you pay.
Submissions are credited to the earliest submitter. If your idea substantially duplicates one already in our queue, yours won't be selected and the fee is not refunded, the same as any other unselected submission. Specific execution details can distinguish two ideas in the same space, so if you have a real angle, describe it.
If we select your idea, you receive 30% ownership of the entity or product we create to build it out, in exchange for us funding, designing, building, deploying, and marketing it. AppDeas holds the remaining 70%. The specific structure is documented in a separate agreement signed with you at the time of selection. See our submission terms before you submit.
We reply by email either way. Because every idea gets a real read rather than an automated score, response time varies with submission volume. We're not promising a fixed number of days.
Pick "Let AppDeas decide" on the submission form. Part of what we evaluate is the right format and platform for the problem you've described.
Yes. If we pass on an idea, we do not build, use, license, or share it. See our terms for the specifics.
Yes. Each idea is a separate submission and a separate fee.
We'll reach out for feedback and any decisions that need the original idea owner's input, but day-to-day design, engineering, deployment, and marketing execution is run by AppDeas.
No. Selection means we believe the idea is worth funding and building, not a promise of any particular outcome. Building and marketing something real still takes sustained effort, and most products, however well executed, take time to become profitable, if they do at all.
