Buy an idea.
Every box is a complete app made with StartIUP, with its domain. One of each. When it's sold, it's gone.
How buying works.
No auctions, no haggling, no payment plans.
Pick and pay
Open a box, try the live app with its demo login, and pay $295 once. While you're at checkout, it's held for you.
Download the app
The moment payment clears, every source file is in your account to download.
Take the domain
Request the transfer whenever you're ready. We release the transfer code, usually within 24 hours, and you move it wherever you like.
Every handover is recorded on a transfer receipt you can view and keep.
Questions.
What exactly do I get when I buy an idea?
The domain, the full polished app (landing page and app together), every source file, and a demo login so you can try it before and after you buy.
How does the domain reach me?
After full payment you request the transfer. We unlock the domain and give you its transfer code, usually within 24 hours. You then move it to the registrar you choose.
What happens to the live demo link?
It stays up until you request the domain transfer. Then it goes offline, because the app is now yours to host wherever you want.
Is $295 the whole price?
Yes. One payment, no instalments, no subscription.
How is Make an idea different?
You bring the idea. The Idea Computer builds a working prototype from your name and description in a few hours, for 69 credits.
Can two people buy the same idea?
No. Each idea is sold once. Once it's bought, it leaves the shelf.
