Playship – idea to published Android app, automated

Playship launched a tool that generates a working web app from a one-line idea, deploys it to the user's own Firebase Hosting project, and automates Android Play Store listings, build uploads, staged rollouts, and Play Billing setup through the real Google Play Developer API. The service costs $19 per month for the Pro tier, which includes all Play Store tracks, AI-generated store listings, Play Billing/IAP setup, and 100 build credits per month, with no revenue share. Playship checks for existing close matches before spending a credit and stores every version so nothing is silently overwritten.

Build generates a working web app from a one-line idea and deploys it to a live URL. Play Store tooling automates listings, build uploads, and billing setup for an existing Android app — through the real Google Play Developer API, not screen-scraping.

Small, concrete, verifiable actions — not an autonomous agent that claims to run your whole launch with no approval gate.

Describe an idea in one line. playship checks for existing close matches before you spend a credit, generates a working app, and deploys it to your own Firebase Hosting project. Every version is stored and inspectable — nothing is silently overwritten — and a Download Code button means your app was never trapped inside playship's infrastructure to begin with.

      Store listings, build uploads, staged rollouts, and Play Billing product setup —
      driven by the real Google Play Developer API against your own Play Console account.
      Nothing is faked and nothing runs without you seeing it happen. New accounts also hit
      Google's own closed-testing requirement before going live —
      [here's exactly what that involves](/guide-play-closed-testing.html).

Flat subscription and credit packs. No revenue share, ever.
