Apper is an AI app and website builder that runs on your existing Claude or ChatGPT subscription, provisioning a secure backend with auth, permissions, billing, and hosting for every app.
About
Apper is an AI application builder that lets people create working apps and websites using the Claude or ChatGPT subscription they already pay for, rather than purchasing separate AI credits. It addresses two common frustrations with AI app builders: meters that charge per message or build step, and AI-generated backends where logins, permissions, and data isolation are improvised for each new app.
The product connects to ChatGPT or Claude through MCP (Model Context Protocol), an open standard for linking AI tools to external software. Once connected, Apper appears as a set of tools in the AI conversation, so a plain-language prompt can provision a Postgres database, authentication, billing, and hosting before the interface is built. A one-click publish puts the finished app on a live URL. Apper is made by the team behind apper.io.

Who It's For
Apper suits founders, freelancers, and small businesses that want client portals, booking apps, internal tools, or membership sites without managing infrastructure or paying per-message AI credits. Teams that already subscribe to Claude or ChatGPT can use their preferred model at full capability while Apper supplies the database, authentication, permissions, and hosting. It also fits companies that need per-tenant data isolation, such as multi-client portals where each organization sees only its own records.
FAQ
What is Apper?Apper is an AI app and website builder that connects to a user's existing Claude or ChatGPT subscription and provides a managed, secure backend — database, authentication, permissions, payments, and hosting — for every app built.
Does Apper charge for AI usage?No. Apper adds no AI credits, usage fees, or markup; the user pays only for the backend platform their app runs on, using their own AI subscription for building.
Which AI tools does Apper work with?Apper connects to ChatGPT and Claude through MCP, after which it is available as a tool in build conversations on either platform.
How does Apper handle data security?Every plan includes two-level permission enforcement: access rules in the database plus independent permission profiles enforced on Apper's servers, so a bad AI-written rule cannot override a closed profile.
Is there a free plan?Yes. The Free plan is $0 forever and includes 5 messages per day (up to 20 per month), 5,000 records, 100 MB file storage, payment integration, and a sandbox for testing changes.
