AI Agents That Run App Store Operations

Agents that run your App Store operations.

In plain English

Uprate uses AI helpers to answer app reviews and keep app store pages in order. Its makers built it for their own popular apps first. App companies pay a monthly plan. It turns a pile of chores into something that mostly runs itself.

Overview

Agents that run your App Store operations.. We worked on apps like Spendee and Gamee. As they grew, so did the store work: reviews nobody could keep up with, rules that kept tightening. So we built our own tool for it. Now we’re releasing it.

Operator: Not disclosed. Website: https://upratehq.com

Estimated split: about 85% of the work automated, 15% human.

Realistic income

The founder reports $2,350 per month in revenue on their Indie Hackers product page (checked Oct 29, 2026). This figure is self-reported and not verified by Stripe or any third party. This is one operator’s result, often after months or years of work, and doesn’t predict yours. Check the live source — numbers change.

Risks

  • Platform fees and review rules.
  • Big apps may add the same feature.
  • Startup cost and time to first dollar are not disclosed.

*Income figures are illustrative ranges based on public pricing and typical outcomes reported by practitioners, not guarantees. Most new online businesses earn little or nothing at first. Not financial, legal or tax advice.
