About BestPaid

Indie portfolio · operated from Cyprus · paid-only

What this is

BestPaid is a curated portfolio of 65 small, focused products — 57 iOS apps and 8 web SaaS tools — built to last more than a season. Each product does one job well, charges a transparent monthly fee, and treats your data like the liability it is rather than the asset most companies treat it as.

Why paid-only

Free software with a "Pro upgrade" buried behind ads usually exists because the free tier is the product. You are the product. Your attention, your behavior, your contact list, your location are sold to fund the engineering you don't see. We don't want that business model. So we charge for the work.

Every product on BestPaid is paid. There is no free tier, no free trial, no "freemium with limits." If you want to try a product before paying, email support@bestpaid.app and we'll arrange a refund-on-cancel within the first 14 days if it isn't right for you.

How the catalog is built

The 57 iOS apps share a common Swift / SwiftUI foundation and a strict design discipline: one screen, one job, paid subscription, no third-party SDKs that track across apps. The 8 SaaS tools share a Blazor / Aspire backend running on EU infrastructure with Cloudflare in front.

We ship updates weekly and read every support email. The smaller the portfolio gets the more attention each product receives — there is no incentive to grow the count past what we can maintain at quality.

Who runs it

BestPaid is an independent indie operation registered in Cyprus. All payments are processed through a regulated Merchant of Record (Polar.sh) which handles VAT and sales tax for your jurisdiction. We don't store or see your card data.
