GPT's Creator - I’d love to hear your thoughts

I’ve been building a lot of custom GPTs for niche use cases lately, and every time I create one that’s actually useful… I run into the same problem: I can’t monetize it inside the GPT Store.

Right now:

• All GPTs on the store are free

• There’s no way to offer paid or private versions

• No control over who uses them, or how often

So I started wondering:

What if there were a simple way to turn your GPT into a paid product,

without needing to code or build a full app around it?

🧪 I’m exploring an idea that might help solve this, but before anything, I’d love to hear from other builders.

🧠 A few quick questions:
1. Is this just my problem and the solution already exists... or is this something others are running into too?

2. Have you ever wanted to sell or restrict access to a GPT you built?

3. Would you use a platform where you could bring your own OpenAI/Claude/Gemini API key and start charging users instantly?

4. Does a no-fixed-cost, revenue-share-only model sound fair to you?

5. What’s been your biggest blocker when trying to monetize a GPT?

💬 I’d love to hear your experience, opinions, frustrations, or ideas.

If you're a GPT builder, you’re exactly the person I’m trying to understand better.

Thanks in advance, your feedback really matters 🙏
