Builder Access

Most builders don't fail because they can't build.

They fail because nobody sees what they built.

LYLO is a curated home for indie AI tools. Manual review, real distribution, transparent payouts.

50% builder pool

Half of all subscriber revenue goes to builders, distributed monthly.

Engagement bonus

A slice of the pool rewards retention and real usage — not just upload counts.

Monthly income, fully transparent

Every month you see what you earned, what LYLO earned, and what every other top earner made.

Top 25 Surplus Bonus

LYLO's leftovers go back to you.

Out of LYLO's 50% platform share, after we pay hosting and bills, whatever's left becomes a bonus pool for the most popular apps.

The top app gets the biggest prorated cut. It trickles down through the top 25 — so the apps users actually love get paid twice: once from the builder pool, and again from whatever LYLO doesn't need to keep the lights on.

#1Biggest prorated cut
#2–10Tier 2 share
#11–25Tier 3 share

Ranking is based on usage, retention, and user engagement — not raw upload count.

Full Transparency

You see what you made. What LYLO made. What everyone else made.

Every builder gets the same monthly statement. No private deals. No hidden splits. Same numbers, same month, no spin.

…continues through every active builder. Public to the entire builder cohort. Hidden from end users.

Sample numbers shown for illustration only. Live statements update on the 1st of every month based on the previous month's verified subscriber revenue.

Manual review only. We read every application. Tools are approved based on quality, originality, and whether real people would actually use them.

Used for your builder dashboard once you're approved.

The rule: uploading 10 junk apps does not get you 10x revenue. Quality matters more than quantity. Builders users genuinely love earn the most.
