About this collection
If you have ever spent a weekend prompting an MVP into existence with ChatGPT, you know how easy it is to start. The deploy works, the auth flows, the dashboard renders. Then Monday hits, the launch list never gets done, and the project lands in an archive folder. This page is the marketplace for those projects, listed by the founders who moved on to the next prompt.
ChatGPT is good at Idea-to-prototype speed and Code generation across many languages. Most listings on this page are Marketing sites and landing pages, Static React/Next.js apps, and Quick API integrations. Handoff tends to be straightforward because the buyer can open the same repo in ChatGPT and pick up the original context, instead of starting from a cold readme.
Every listing here is a real project with working code. Most are 60 to 90 percent built and most close between $300 and $5,000. You email the founder directly from any listing. We never take a commission on the sale.

Before you buy
What to look for
The five checks that separate a great listing from a regret. Run through them before any wire transfer goes out.
- 01
Open the deploy URL first
Click around for ten minutes before you read a line of code. If the core flow works in your browser, you are most of the way home. If it does not, ask the founder why before going further.
- 02
Read the README and the AI rules file
Good ChatGPT listings ship with a clear README plus any agent rules file (.cursorrules, claude.md, AGENTS.md). The rules file tells you how the AI was steered. Missing rules file usually means inconsistent code.
- 03
Run it locally
Clone the repo, install, run. If the local environment is one command away, the founder kept things tidy. If it takes an hour to boot, expect rough edges elsewhere.
- 04
Inspect: Codebase-wide consistency between files
ChatGPT projects often need attention here. Verify the founder addressed it, or budget time to fix it after handoff.
- 05
Inspect: Deep refactors that need full context
ChatGPT projects often need attention here. Verify the founder addressed it, or budget time to fix it after handoff.
- 06
Ask for a 20 minute walkthrough
Most founders will hop on a call to walk you through the codebase. Twenty minutes saves you a week of cold reading. Use it to ask the awkward questions before you wire money.
After you buy
How to take it over
The hardest middle is already done. Four steps to turn a dormant repo into something live again.
- Step 01
Clone and run
Get the project running locally before signing anything. Most ChatGPT projects boot with a single install command. If yours does not, that is a conversation to have with the founder up front.
- Step 02
Open it in ChatGPT itself
ChatGPT-built apps often have inconsistent patterns across files. Plan a consistency pass with a codebase-aware AI like Cursor or Claude Code.
- Step 03
Map what works versus what does not
Make a two column list while clicking through. AI agents work better when you point them at one specific broken thing at a time, instead of asking for a global cleanup.
- Step 04
Ship the smallest possible launch
Most stalled projects need less than people think to be useful. Pick the one flow that already works, polish it, and put it in front of users. The rest can ship after.

FAQ
Common questions
- How do I take over a ChatGPT app I bought on Failedups?
- Clone the repo, install dependencies, and open it in ChatGPT itself if you can. Using the same tool that built the app gives you the original context with no setup. Ask the AI to walk you through the broken parts and the agent rules file. Most ChatGPT apps are running locally inside an hour.
- Is the code from ChatGPT production ready out of the box?
- It depends on the listing. Many ChatGPT apps work end to end for the happy path but need polish on auth edge cases, deploys, and tests. The buyer's checklist on this page calls out the parts ChatGPT projects most often need attention on. Inspect the deploy and the README before paying.
- Can I keep developing in a different IDE after buying a ChatGPT app?
- Yes. The codebase is just code. ChatGPT does not lock you in. Many buyers continue in Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, or whatever they were already using. The agent rules file usually transfers cleanly between similar tools.
- How much do ChatGPT apps usually sell for?
- Most close between $300 and $5,000. AI built MVPs without users land at the lower end. ChatGPT apps with paying customers, a polished UI, or a meaningful audience can clear several thousand. Each listing sets its own price and the founder decides if it is negotiable.
- Are ChatGPT apps available with a cofounder option instead of a sale?
- Yes. Plenty of ChatGPT listings open up to a cofounder match instead of a buyout. See the looking for cofounder collection for current listings. Cofounder deals are equity only, no upfront cash.
- Does Failedups take a commission on a ChatGPT app sale?
- No. The price you agree on with the founder is the price you take. We never broker or hold the transaction. Listing is free, browsing is free, and the only thing we charge for is an optional one-time visibility boost on a specific listing.
