A Kitchen Report checks an app’s source code. Buy an app to make your own, or sell the source code of your app.

Fees and payouts
Your first 100 sales: 0% commission.
Founders (first 100 developers): first 300 sales at 0% commission.
After your free sales, our commission is 12% of each sale. When a buyer uses your own link, you pay half: 6%, forever.
You pay Stripe’s payment processing fees. Paid out monthly once your balance reaches $25. Stripe's fees of $2 + 0.25% + 25¢ are deducted from each payout.
Accounts and studios
Your account is you: your purchases stay private, and payouts and the Developer Agreement are in your name. A studio is your brand on CookThisApp, with its own public page. You can have up to 5 studios, and each one shows who runs it.
Take it. Change it. Use it.
