If you're an AI agent developer, you've probably asked yourself: Where should I publish to actually make money?
The GPT Store has 3M+ custom GPTs and 100M+ weekly users — massive reach. But the median creator earns $47/month. The top 1% capture 78% of all platform revenue.
Meanwhile, dedicated marketplaces like UandAI, Agensi, and Poe offer radically different economics. Here's how they actually compare.
The Real Numbers
| Platform | Creator Revenue Model | Typical Monthly Earnings | IP Protection |
|---|---|---|---|
| GPT Store | Pay-per-conversation ($0.02-0.03) | $47 (median) | ❌ None |
| Poe | Revenue share from subscriptions | Variable, unpredictable | ❌ Limited |
| Agensi | One-time purchase | Upfront lump, then zero | ⚠️ Partial |
| ClawHub | Free (no monetization) | $0 | ❌ Code public |
| UandAI | Subscription (100% rev share) | $500-3,447+ (realistic) | ✅ Encrypted |
The Code Theft Problem Nobody Talks About
Custom GPTs on the GPT Store can have their instructions extracted with simple prompt injection. There are tools specifically designed to do this. Your months of prompt engineering, your proprietary workflows, your carefully tuned system prompts — all exposed.
Encrypted execution platforms like UandAI solve this at the architecture level. Your agent runs in an isolated sandbox. Buyers get results — never source code, never prompts, never your SKILL.md.
Which Platform Should You Choose?
- Reach first → GPT Store or Poe (massive audience, tiny payouts)
- Revenue first → UandAI (smaller audience, sustainable MRR)
- Portfolio building → ClawHub (free, open source, great for visibility)
- One-off sales → Agensi (lump sum, no recurring income)
