AppKade - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

AppKade is a web-based, two-sided software marketplace built for the Sri Lankan market, operating at appkade.lk. Independent developers list apps, AI models, datasets, source code, and software businesses for sale, while buyers — businesses and individuals across Sri Lanka — browse and evaluate locally built software without requiring an account. Every listing undergoes human review before publication, supporting buyer trust across categories including business and retail (POS, billing, inventory), finance and accounting, productivity, education, and developer tools.

AppKade supports search in Sinhala, Tamil, and English, addressing the multilingual needs of the local market. Listings span multiple deployment targets — Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, Linux, and web — depending on the individual product. Each listing clearly states its pricing tier (Free, Freemium, Paid, Subscription, or Contact Developer), and buyers connect directly with developers via the developer's own site or through direct enquiry; the platform does not process payments or act as an intermediary. Developers can create a profile and submit listings for review, typically completed within one hour, with up to two listings published at no cost and no commission charged on any transaction.

A dedicated discovery section within AppKade surfaces Sinhala and Tamil language models, OCR tools, translation tools, and Sri Lanka-specific datasets produced by local developers. Each AI and dataset listing declares supported languages, licence type, and commercial use permissions, with downloadable samples available where applicable. A Founding Developer programme provides early participants with profile badges, social media spotlights, and priority review within 24 hours, supporting visibility for developers entering the platform.
