How to Sell Your AI-Generated App or Vibe-Coded Project

The Rise of AI-Built Products

You've used Cursor, v0, Bolt, or ChatGPT to build an app. Maybe it took you a weekend instead of months. Now you're wondering: can I actually sell this?

**Absolutely.** AI-generated and vibe-coded projects are legitimate products. Here's how to sell them.

What Qualifies as Sellable

AI tools helped, but you still created value if your project:

**Solves a real problem** - Users don't care how it was built

**Works reliably** - The code functions as advertised

**Has unique value** - It's not just a tutorial copy-paste

**Is well-documented** - Buyers can understand and modify it

Preparing Your AI-Built Project for Sale

Code Quality Matters:

AI-generated code can be inconsistent. Before selling:

Review and clean up obvious issues

Remove dead code and unused files

Add comments explaining complex logic

Ensure consistent naming conventions

Test all features manually

Documentation is Critical:

Because AI code can be non-standard:

Write a clear README with setup instructions

Document any unusual patterns or workarounds

Explain which prompts/tools were used (builds trust)

Create a quick-start guide

Be Transparent:

Honest sellers can say:

> "Built with significant AI assistance using Cursor and GPT-4. All code has been reviewed, tested, and refined for production use."

This isn't a weakness—it's a selling point for buyers who want fast delivery.

Pricing AI-Built Projects

**Don't undersell.** Just because you built it fast doesn't mean it's worth less.

Value is based on:

What problem it solves

Hours of work a buyer saves

Quality of the final product

Market demand

A weekend AI project could easily be worth $500-2,000 if it's useful and polished.
