Rownd is an AI-ready App Services Platform: one SDK for auth 🔐, payments 💳 & user management ⚙️. Spin up production-ready apps in minutes, free up to 1 M MAUs 🚀. Build faster, scale smarter, ditch siloed vendors! 🔥
Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I’m Rob Thelen, co-founder & CEO of Rownd (YC W22). We’re launching a free tier up to 1 M MAUs—why 1 M? Because teams need runway to scale without per-user ransom notes. I have built hundreds of AI-assisted apps (vibe coding is my passion), and the thing that often goes wrong is the app plumbing - authentication, authorization, user management, payments, etc. The Rownd App Services Platform solves that problem.
🔑 One SDK, five Core Pillars
🔐 Authentication (passwordless, social, SAML/OIDC, adaptive MFA)
💬 Smart Links (make your own Branch-link links, for 1/100 of the price)
💳 Payments & Subscriptions (Stripe integration in <10s, metered billing, portal UI, renewals)
👥 User Management (profiles, roles, permissions, webhooks)
🔋 All batteries included - Rownd's frontend SDKs come with all the necessary visual elements - login, signup, sign-out, profile, subscription management, etc.
🌱 Why We Did It
AI-powered “vibe coding” teams can prototype full apps in minutes, but the plumbing underneath remains brittle and costly. We built Rownd so you can focus on your unique value, not boilerplate. Our freemium flywheel has already driven enterprise-scale growth, and this 1 M MAU launch is just the beginning.
Set up user management, authentication, and payments in one prompt.
Ask me anything—Stripe setup, MCP roadmap, compliance at scale, or your toughest integration pain. Thanks for checking us out—your feedback will shape Rownd’s next chapter!
@manu_goel2 Hey! Thanks for the comment, and yes, currently Stripe is the only payments integration. We love feedback though! What other sorts of integrations would you like to see? - Rachel (Co-founder at Rownd)
Seems like a good product, love the incentive that no credit card is required until you reach 1M monthly active users. And it great that it covers full user management and analytics also

@manu_goel2 For now, only Stripe, what else do you want to see?
Really appreciate the 1M MAU free tier—it gives indie teams like mine the breathing room to iterate without sweating every new signup.
Congrats on the launch, Rob and team! Rownd feels like the kind of dev infra that actually gets how modern AI-first teams build.
@masterlhz thank you! Let us know what you think and what features you want to see next!
