What this is
This is a closed beta, not a launch. There is no checkout, no card, and no plan to pick. You fill in a short form about your catalog and your ad spend, we read every one, and we start with the accounts where the product can be tested properly — enough titles and enough spend that a bad bid actually costs something.
If that's not you yet, apply anyway. The cohort after this one will be wider, and the form takes about thirty seconds.
The deal, in full
- Who we take
- The first cohort is 20 authors and publishers. We read every application and reply to all of them.
- What you pay
- Nothing for 90 days from the day your access is issued.
- What we ask
- One 20-minute call, at a time you pick, about what worked and what didn't. Plus permission to email you the occasional question.
- What happens next
- You keep founding-user status: 50% off your first year once paid plans open.
- What we don't promise
- We can't promise the program will be extended, and we can't promise what the price will be when it exists. When we know, you'll know first.
You're a strong fit if…
- You have more than a handful of titles live on Amazon and you add to them
- You spend on Amazon Ads every month, and the number is big enough to notice
- You've tried to reconcile ad spend against royalties in a spreadsheet at least once
- You'll tell us the app is confusing when it's confusing
What you get on day one
- The full desktop app for macOS or Windows — Ads Manager, Royalty Analytics, alerts
- Your existing KDP reports imported, however many months back you have them
- A direct line to the person building it, not a ticket queue
- Founding-user pricing when paid plans open
Questions people actually ask
Is this really free, or is there a card at the end?
Really free, and there's no card because there's no checkout — we haven't connected a payment provider yet. After 90 days we'll ask whether you want to keep using it, and that's the entire commercial conversation.
What happens after the 90 days?
We'll tell you what a paid plan looks like and you'll decide. As a founding user you get 50% off your first year. If you'd rather stop, your royalty data is already on your machine — nothing to export, nothing to reclaim.
What do you do with my answers?
They decide who we onboard first and what we build next. We don't sell or share them, and we don't add you to a marketing list you didn't ask for. The free-text question at the end is read by a human — it's the most useful thing in the form.
I'm just starting out. Should I bother applying?
Yes, but be honest in the form. The first cohort is weighted toward accounts with enough spend to stress-test the product, so you may not be in it. You'll be first in line for the next one, and we'll email you when it opens.
