IndieStack Marketplace is Live — Sell Your Tools, Keep 95%

Today we are launching the IndieStack Marketplace. Indie developers can now sell their tools directly to other developers — with a 5% platform fee and direct Stripe payouts to your bank account. No gatekeepers. No 30% cuts. Just your tool, your price, and a curated audience of developers who want alternatives to big SaaS.

Why We Built This

Indie devs build incredible tools. Auth libraries, analytics dashboards, deployment platforms, monitoring services — focused software that does one thing brilliantly. But distribution is the bottleneck. Building the tool is the easy part. Getting it found is where most indie makers hit a wall.

App stores take 30%. Gumroad takes 10%. And discovery on those platforms is still broken — your tool gets buried under a thousand Notion templates and AI wrapper courses. The developers who would love your product never find it.

We built IndieStack to fix the discovery problem. We have over 130 curated indie tools, MCP integration so AI assistants can search the catalogue, and a community of makers and buyers who care about craft over scale. Now we are fixing the revenue problem too.

How It Works

1. List your tool — free, takes about two minutes. Add your description, pricing, screenshots, and tags.
2. Connect Stripe — Express onboarding walks you through it. Enter your bank details and you are set up to receive payouts.
3. Set your price — buyers pay via Stripe Checkout. Clean, secure, no card details touch our servers.
4. You get 95% — money goes directly to your bank via Stripe payouts. We take a 5% platform fee (3% for Pro makers). Stripe's processing fee is separate, roughly 1.4% + 20p for UK cards.

What Makes This Different

There are a lot of places to sell software. Here is why we think IndieStack is worth your attention:

• 5% commission (3% for Pro makers) — compare that to the App Store's 30% or Gumroad's 10%. We take less because we believe the maker should keep most of what they earn.
• Curated marketplace — every tool is reviewed before it goes live. We award Verified and Ejectable trust badges so buyers know what they are getting. No spam, no vapourware, no AI wrapper courses.
• Built for developers — our MCP integration means AI coding tools like Claude Code and Cursor can discover your product automatically. When a developer asks their AI for an analytics tool, yours shows up.
• Indie Ring — makers on the platform get 50% off each other's tools. It is community cross-pollination: you use mine, I use yours, we all ship faster.

We did not build IndieStack to compete with Gumroad or Lemon Squeezy. We built it because indie developers deserve a marketplace where the audience already cares about indie tools — and where the AI assistants writing code can actually find them.

What You Can Sell

Anything that helps developers build, ship, or run software. SaaS subscriptions, one-time licence purchases, open-core tools with paid tiers, API services, dev utilities. If you built it and other developers would pay for it, it belongs here.

We are not interested in hosting courses, e-books, or Notion templates. IndieStack is a tools marketplace. The tools are the point.

Get Started

If you have built something worth selling, list it on IndieStack. It is free to list, takes two minutes, and your tool goes live after a quick review. Connect Stripe when you are ready to start accepting payments.

If you are a developer looking for focused, high-quality alternatives to bloated enterprise software, browse the catalogue. Every tool on IndieStack is built by an indie maker who cares about getting the details right.

We have been building toward this for months. The directory, the trust badges, the MCP server, the maker profiles, the community — all of it was leading here. Today the marketplace is live. Let us see what indie developers can do when distribution is no longer the bottleneck.
