Build real applications. Gain real support.

Pi App Studio subsidies are about real utility—not fake numbers.

1️⃣ Real Users

- Real Pi users, not fake clicks.
- Active users matter: DAU / WAU.
- Sybils, bots, and spam have been filtered out.

2️⃣ Real Pi Utility

- Users actually spend Pi in your application.
- Payments, products, services, and premium features.
- Real transaction activity matters.

3️⃣ Retention + User Experience

- Users keep coming back.
- Strong 7-day / 30-day retention rates.
- Positive reviews + fewer reports = more trust.

4️⃣ Pi Standards

- Properly use the official Pi SDK and API.
- Protect users and comply with Pi policies.
- Scams, gambling, pyramid schemes, or fake Pi branding are prohibited.
