FROM IDEA TO ABUSINESS WE RUN FOR YOU.
An idea is not a company. A company is the customers you have to win, the questions you have to answer, the nights the app goes down, the taxes nobody warned you about. Magpy helps you build your app and runs the business around it. It stays yours — you keep your day job, and 80% of what it earns.
Building the app is the easy part.
Turning an idea into income takes more than building an app.
Someone else is building your idea right now
Every week you wait is a week someone else doesn't.
Will anyone actually pay for this?
Knowing what to build, who wants it, and what to charge takes more than a gut feeling.
AI builds the app — but not a product you can sell.
Security, compliance, and the ability to scale aren't part of any build tool — they're a separate job.
An app nobody knows about is an app nobody uses.
Getting your app in front of the right people doesn't happen on its own.
Shipping an app means running a company
Billing, tax, support, incidents, and new features — none of it is in the build.
Good news!
Magpy has got you covered.
From idea to income — in five phases.
Ideate
Know what to build before you build it.
We show you what businesses are already paying for, what's missing in the market, and what your app should cost — before you build a single thing.
Build
Build it with Wingman — no coding needed.
Describe what you want to build. Wingman connects to your AI subscription and turns your idea into a working app — no developers, no setup, no coding.
Productize
Before anyone can buy it, we make it safe to sell.
Every app goes through Magpy's review: security, data protection, and legal compliance — all handled before it goes live.

Market & Distribute
Magpy finds people who want to buy your app.
We run campaigns, SEO, and listings across app stores and our own marketplace — continuously, without you doing anything.
Operate
Magpy runs the business. Permanently.
Support, billing, taxes, payouts, refunds — all ours. 80% of what your app earns lands in your bank. We handle the rest, every day, forever.
One platform runs your whole business.
Everything between “I have an idea” and “it’s making money” — handled, so you can stay focused on the product.
Never touch a server
Hosting that scales from your first user to your millionth. It stays fast and online — you stay in the editor.
Secure and compliant by default
Production-grade security, data protection, and compliance baked in — the hard productization work handled before you need to think about it.

From a rough idea to a running business.
I had the idea, used Cursor to build it. Magpy handled compliance, payments, and found my first customers. First payout landed six weeks in.
Sara M.Operations consultant
I kept putting it off because of taxes and subscriptions. Magpy dealt with all of it. One morning I just woke up to a notification — money in the account.
James K.Café owner
Three failed attempts. Every time I got stuck on the business side. This time Magpy ran the whole thing from day one. I’m finally earning from an idea.

Your questions, answered.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. Magpy gives you Wingman — a purpose-built workspace that connects to your AI subscription (like Claude). You describe what you want, Wingman and your AI build it. No coding knowledge needed.
What do I use to build it?
Wingman — Magpy's own development environment. All you need alongside it is an AI subscription like Claude. Wingman connects to it, understands your idea, and guides you from concept to a working app without writing a line of code.
Do I keep ownership of my app?
Always. The product and its code are yours, and you can leave anytime. Magpy runs the business around it — hosting, payments, support, and marketing.
Who owns the customers?
Magpy manages the customer relationship on your behalf — support, billing, and day-to-day engagement are all ours. On the Free plan, Magpy handles all customer contact. Upgrade to Business to access your customers directly and see per-customer insights.
What does the 20% actually cover?
Everything Magpy runs: hosting, infrastructure, payments, tax, fraud, support, marketing, and the marketplace. Magpy first deducts the actual cost of running your app, then takes 20% of what remains. If your app earns less than its running cost, Magpy takes nothing.
Is it really $0 to start?
Yes — no subscription, no card required to begin. You start earning the moment your app sells. Magpy covers running costs first, and you keep 80% of everything above that. Nothing owed until you're earning.
What if my app doesn't sell?
Magpy actively markets every app from day one — campaigns, listings, and SEO. If your app hasn't found buyers within three weeks, we'll reach out. You can retire it at no cost, or upgrade to Pro for extended promotion, custom campaigns, and paid placements.
Who actually buys apps on the Magpy marketplace?
Small business owners — restaurants, contractors, consultants, freelancers — looking for software that solves real problems in their day-to-day. If your idea fits a real business need, there are buyers already shopping for it.
How long before I see money?
During the private beta, your app goes through a two-week onboarding period. After that, payouts are net 30 — so your first payment arrives roughly six weeks after you go live.
