Can you monetize streamlit apps?

Using Streamlit
1

Hey guys, just came across Streamlit and I’m stunned. This looks amazing compared to the Flask app I’ve been hacking together for the past month. However, before I abandon ship and go all-in learning another framework I’ve got to ask…

Is Streamlit only for doing ML & data science locally, or could you deploy a Streamlit web app into production, serve it via URL, and charge customers to use it?

Regarding question 1+2 yes. See awesome-streamlit.org

Regarding question 3. I would not know how to do that.

Awesome, @Marc. If 1+2 are true, there are countless ways to gate the URL and charge users for access. Thank you! :slight_smile:

Here is a tutorial, which worked well for me to publish your app on aws-ec2. There are similar tutorials for other cloud solutions.

For Monetization part I have a work-around
If you are on some public telegram groups which give you free courses or movies they rather monetize the link (its a redirect link)
you can use https://shorte.st/ and earn money through redirects to your streamlit website (not sure how much you can earn, havent tried it at all), but this is a bad practice to mislead users too

Upon quick google search I came across this (https://github.com/googleads/googleads-python-lib) its a py wrapper for GoogleLeads but again skeptical on how you would integrate in streamlit without breaking its architecture (Do let me know if you do so !)
