    Common questions

    Do my end users need a Poe account?
    No on all plans. Anyone with the link can use the app.
    Is my Poe API key safe?
    Yes — your API key is encrypted with AES-256 before storage and only decrypted server-side when proxying requests. It is automatically deleted when your deployment expires.
    Can I try AppToPub before paying?
    Yes — the Free plan lets you publish 1 app immediately with no credit card required.
    What plans does AppToPub offer?
    We have three plans: Free ($0), Basic ($5/month), and Premium ($15/month).
    What is included in the Free plan?
    1 published app. Apps expire after 72 hours if you're not signed in — sign in for permanent hosting.
    What is the Basic plan?
    $5/month. Gives you 10 published apps, permanent hosting, custom URL slugs, and usage analytics.
    What is the Premium plan?
    $15/month. Gives you 100 published apps, permanent hosting, custom URL slugs, usage analytics, and password protection.
    Is there a limit on how many apps I can have?
    Yes — Free: 1 app | Basic: 10 apps | Premium: 100 apps.
    What happens when the 72-hour expiration ends on Free plan?
    If you're not signed in, the app link stops working after 72 hours. Sign in to keep your free app permanently. You can also upgrade for more app slots.
    How does billing work?
    Pay only for the days you use. You can upgrade or downgrade anytime and we'll calculate the difference automatically.
    Can I upgrade or downgrade later?
    Yes, anytime. Changes are pro-rated.
    Is there any hidden fee?
    No. You only pay the monthly fee you choose.
    What happens if I cancel?
    Your apps stay active until the end of the paid period. Free plan apps expire after 72 hours if you're not signed in.
    Can I use custom URLs?
    Yes — available on Basic and Premium plans (custom URL slugs).
    Do you provide usage analytics?
    Yes — on Basic and Premium plans.
    Does Premium include password protection?
    Yes, only on the Premium plan.

    Can I embed the published app?
    Yes — any published app URL can be embedded in an iframe.
    Are published apps mobile-friendly?
    Yes, fully responsive on all plans.
    How is AppToPub different from Replit or Vercel?
    One-click for Poe Canvas, no coding, no deployment knowledge needed, and special pricing tiers for Poe creators.
    Can I publish the same app on multiple plans?
    You can only have the number of apps allowed by your current plan.
    Will the Free plan always be available?
    Yes, we will always keep a Free plan for testing.
