Why people choose Kyper

Simple software, sold simply.

Own it forever

Pay once, get the app. No renewal reminders, no arbitrary limits, no dark patterns nudging you toward a plan upgrade. It's yours.

No tiers, no seats, no annual vs. monthly gotchas. The price on the listing is what you pay. That's it.

We'll host it for you

Subscribe and Kyper runs the app in your own private instance. Updates come automatically. Cancel anytime — no lock-in.

Common questions

Is it really a one-time purchase — no ongoing fees?

Yes. Buy an app and you pay once. There's no activation server to call home, no license that expires, and no recurring charge. The only exception is a hosted subscription, which is entirely optional.

What if I want the app running for me?

Subscribe to a hosted plan. Kyper sets up a private instance just for you, keeps it running, and pushes updates automatically. Cancel whenever — no long-term commitment, and your data is yours to take.

What happens if the developer stops maintaining it?

If you bought a one-time download, you keep the files forever — no dependency on the developer or Kyper. For hosted plans, we give advance notice if an app is discontinued, and your data export stays available.

Is my data safe in a hosted plan?

Yes. Each hosted app runs in its own private space — your data is completely separate from other users and other apps. You can export everything from your dashboard at any time.

What kinds of apps are on Kyper?

Indie tools and utilities built by independent developers — niche CRMs, invoice generators, job boards, productivity tools, and more. Software made for a specific need, not trying to be everything for everyone.

How is this different from the App Store?

Kyper is for web apps, not mobile apps. It supports one-time purchases (you run it yourself) and hosted plans (we run it for you). Developers control their pricing and keep 85% — no platform games.

Can I try before I buy?

That's up to each developer. Some listings include a free tier or trial — check the listing page. Hosted plans have a configure step so you can see the real app before your subscription starts.

What if I change my mind after buying?

Reach out and we'll make it right. We want people to be happy with what they buy. For hosted plans, cancel any time and you won't be billed again.
