Frequently asked questions

AppOrbit is a directory of indie apps ranked by real, verified monthly revenue, with no vanity screenshots or self-reported numbers. Founders connect their RevenueCat account so the MRR you see is pulled straight from their billing.

Listings connect through RevenueCat. We read the app's live metrics server-side using the founder's own key, so the MRR, active subscriptions and revenue trend shown on a listing come directly from the payment data, not a manual entry.

Yes. Secrets are encrypted at rest and only ever used server-side to fetch your metrics. They are never exposed to the browser, logged, or returned in any response. The public site can't read them.

Listing is free. Add your app, connect RevenueCat, and you're on the board.

Yes. Alien Mode hides you as the founder (you show up as an anonymous 👽 alien) while your app stays visible. UFO Mode hides the app's identity (name, icon and links) while still showing the verified numbers. You can combine both.

Open “My launches” from the nav on the same browser you listed from. From there you can edit details, mark an app for sale, or unlist it.

Sponsor slots put your logo in the rail alongside the leaderboard. After checkout you drop in your brand assets and the slot goes live instantly, with no review wait. Manage it and see how many people tapped through anytime from “My ads”.

Every click on your sponsor link is tracked and shown in “My ads” as a running total plus a daily chart, so you can see exactly how much traffic the slot is sending you.
