$2,500–$4,500 before a single sale
That is the realistic midpoint for one launch bought from freelancers and tools. Keeping one product's marketing running afterwards costs another $450–$1,550 a month.

§ 01 what a launch costs when you assemble it
Five disciplines. Five vendors. One person holding it together.
Launching one small digital product properly means market research, a landing page with working payments, the product itself, short-form video, and scheduled posting. Every one of those has decent tooling. Nothing joins them up, so you do it yourself, by hand, between five invoices.
Median creator earnings: $72/month
Across 146,271 Gumroad products, 44% earn nothing at all. A $4,000 launch cost has to clear before anything else does, and most launches never get there.

The page says four scripts; the zip has twelve. The video hook does not match the headline. The domain in the meta tags was never bought. Nobody's tool checks any of that, because the check spans two tools.

Realistic midpoint, one launch
$2,500–$4,500
The closest thing to step one that ever existed as a product was GummySearch. It shut down on 30 November 2025 after Reddit revoked commercial Data API licensing.
That is why the research step here drives a real Chrome session instead of an API. It is also the most fragile part of the whole system. Read the FAQ before you buy. Source.
Every figure above is a published market rate with a link, not a projection. None of it says what you will earn. The full working, including the figures that could not be sourced, is in the research this page was built from.
§ 02 total cost of ownership · read this before buying
$1,499 buys the orchestration. It does not buy the tools.
This is the strongest argument against buying, so here it is in full. The licence is a one-time fee for the pipeline, the agents and the gates. Every vendor below still bills you separately, and none of those accounts are included, resold or discounted here.

Your own handsA human clicks the Reddit captcha and signs up for the three social accounts. Both are deliberately manual and cannot be automated safely.
~1 hr / launch
Put plainly: if you do not already have a Mac, a Claude Code subscription and your own Cloudflare and Stripe accounts, this is not for you, and no discount fixes that.
What you are buying is the part nobody sells: the state machine that joins six steps together and refuses to advance when the work is not actually done. The tools were never the missing piece.
§ 03 how it works
Clone it, run a step, hit the gate.
01
Unzip it on your Mac
Download the kit, unzip, run the setup guide. The CLI has zero runtime dependencies; npm ci is only there for the test runner. Then ap new <slug> scaffolds a project folder with all six step directories.
02
Run one step per session
ap next <slug> tells you the current step, which skill runs it and what a human still owes. You open a Claude Code session, run that skill, and it delegates the long work to the role-scoped agents. State lives in project.json, not in the chat, so tomorrow's session starts where today's stopped.
03
The gate decides when a step is done
ap step <slug> N done is checked, not trusted. The step's outputs must exist on disk, contain no unfilled placeholders, and the fields the next step reads must be set. If any of that fails it prints the exact reason and refuses. That refusal is the product.
§ 03b the six steps
01Reddit scan → ranked pain points, every quote linked to its thread
02Converge on one idea, one market, one price, written down as a decision
03Landing page, Stripe checkout and a gated download, deployed to Cloudflare
04Social identities: handles, bios, avatars, routed email
05Short-form scripts, render, burned-in captions
06Schedule the posts and verify each one actually went out
◆ a gate sits between every pair of these
Steps 1 and 4 need you at the keyboard. Reddit access goes through a real Chrome session and a human clicks the captcha; the three social signups are done by hand on purpose, because automating a platform's signup form is how the account gets banned six months later, once it matters.

No revenue claim is made anywhere on this page. This ships a product. It does not make anyone buy it. Three of the five products built with it are still commercially unproven.

- I set the pipeline up on your accounts and run one launch alongside you, including the two steps a human has to do
- It is my hours rather than a file, so it is capped and sold by conversation, not by a button
- There is no hosted or managed version. It does not exist, and I am not taking money for it
- No countdown, no seat counter, no list of people ahead of you
Your address is stored for this one thing and nothing else. No list, no sequence.
Cheaper things that do part of this. Go and look at them first.
- Automation template packs, $6–$100. If you want workflows to read and adapt rather than a system to run, that is the market, and it is a twentieth of the price.
- Podia, Kajabi, Systeme.io, $49–$970/mo. Checkout and hosting, no code, far friendlier than this. They do step 3 only, and they do it well.
- Build the glue yourself. Six scripts and a JSON file is not a moonshot for a competent developer. It took me five products to work out where the gates belong; you may not need that shortcut.
- A freelance build, $5,000–$12,000. If you want one product shipped rather than a repeatable way to ship them, hiring once is the cleaner answer.
§ 05 the awkward questions
Asked and answered, before you pay.
What exactly do I get for $1,499?
A zip of 78 files, about 155 KB, downloaded the moment you pay. Inside: the
ap CLI (state, steps, gates, run ledger), 11 role-scoped agents, 12 skills, the project templates including the Stripe Pages Functions and the paywalled download, nine scripts, four documents led by a 592-line architecture write-up, 22 passing tests, a single-operator commercial licence and a setup guide written for this kit. No accounts, no credits, no support, no hosted version.What else do I have to pay for?
A Mac you already own, a Claude Code subscription at $20–$200/mo, Higgsfield credits at $19–$129/mo when you render video, Blotato at $29–$499/mo if you schedule posts, Cloudflare Pages on the free tier, and Stripe's standard 2.9% + 30¢ per sale. Full table in section 02. None of those are resold or included here, and the honest version of this answer is that the vendor bills will outweigh the licence within a few months. You are paying me for the orchestration and the gates, not the tools.
Does it run on Windows or Linux?
No. macOS only. The Reddit step drives a real Chrome session through a Mac-only helper, and the rest has only ever been run on macOS. There is no Windows or Linux build and none is planned. If you are not on a Mac, do not buy this.
Is there support?
Not at this tier, and pretending otherwise is how a $1,499 product turns into a part-time job. You get the files, the setup guide and the architecture document. If something in the kit is plainly broken or a file is missing, email me and I will fix the kit. If you want someone to sit with you through a launch, that is the $3,500 setup tier, and it is not open yet.
What happens when Reddit or one of the vendors changes something?
Something breaks and you fix it, or you wait for an update that I do not promise on any schedule. This is the real risk. GummySearch, the closest thing to step 1 that was ever a product, shut down in November 2025 when Reddit revoked its Data API licensing. The browser-session approach here survives that class of change better than an API key does, but it is not immune: a stricter anti-bot posture at Reddit would need real rework. Steps 2 through 6 do not depend on Reddit at all and keep working regardless.
Can I use it for client work?
Yes. The licence is single-operator commercial: one person or one small team runs it, on as many products as you like, for your own business or for clients who pay you. What you cannot do is resell, rehost or redistribute the kit itself, or repackage it as your own product. The exact wording is in
LICENCE.md inside the zip — read it before you buy if it matters, and email me and I will send you the licence text first.Will it make my product sell?
No, and nothing on this page says otherwise. It gets a product researched, built, listed with working payments and marketed on a schedule. Whether anybody buys what you list is entirely down to your idea and your audience. Five products have been through this pipeline and three are live; that is a statement about the pipeline, not a forecast of your revenue. There are no customer testimonials on this page because there are no customers yet.
Refunds?
30 days, no questions asked. Email support@mizudev.com from the address you paid with and say refund. You keep the files. I would rather take the refund than have you fighting a dependency stack you did not want.
