The app publishing form supports free listings and a developer-set USD price for the Premium Models category. The agent form supports a price. These controls do not constitute a universal subscription or metered-billing editor.

## Listing price and publishing cost

The [published FAQ](/faq) states that submitting or listing an app has no fee. Optional developer badges are separate from publishing. The [Terms](/terms) govern paid products, credits, refunds and creator responsibilities; they do not publish a universal marketplace commission table.

For a native or hosted-web app, choose the actual category and use the price field only where offered. A free category resets the submitted price to zero. For agents, review the price and supported workflow dependencies in [Uploading Agents](/docs/uploading-agents).

## Earnings

Open [Monetization & Payouts](/Dashboard/Monetization) to inspect your recorded balance, lifetime/month/week totals and payout history. Read-only `GET /me/earnings` includes fields such as:

```text
balance, lifetime, this_week, this_month, daily, min_payout, can_withdraw
```

A displayed total is not evidence of a completed transfer. Financial records should be reconciled with actual transactions and [payout status](/docs/payouts-and-finance).

## Advertising is separate

[Theaimart ADX](https://adx.theaimart.co) provides advertising integrations for supported environments. An app can use ADX without being listed in this marketplace. Consult [ADX developer documentation](https://adx.theaimart.co/developers) for the current SDK and publisher onboarding. No income, fill-rate or eCPM promise is made here.

## Limitations and troubleshooting

There is no general `pricing.model` editor for one-time, subscription and usage plans in the reviewed upload forms. A `/monetization/usage` billing endpoint is not implemented here. Do not infer a platform fee, revenue share, tax rate or payout schedule from a code comment. Confirm those commercial terms with support before committing to a paid launch.

If a price differs from your expectation, check category and current form state. If earnings are missing, identify the actual completed transaction before assuming an analytics defect. Do not execute test purchases on production accounts.
