BuiltList partners with Roar AI to help Sri Lankan builders ship faster

Short answer: BuiltList and Roar AI are now partners. Builders on BuiltList get $15 in Roar AI credits, up from the standard $5, when they sign up with the code BUILTLIST, plus hands-on help moving their apps over. Adding the "Built on Roar AI" footer earns an extra $10.

What is Roar AI?

Roar AI is a Sri Lankan AI cloud from Roar Global. It gives you access to more than 200 frontier and open-source models, and you can host your app on the same platform. Roar Global announced it on 8 September 2026.

In their words

Our goal at Roar AI has been to help builders turn ideas into globally scalable products with access to world-class AI infrastructure, right here in Sri Lanka. Partnering with BuiltList brings us closer to that vision as we work together to grow Sri Lanka's builder ecosystem.

Roshith Ranasinghe, Head of Growth, Roar AI

We're proud to support Sri Lanka's growing builder community alongside BuiltList. By bringing powerful AI inference and app hosting infrastructure closer to home, we're making sure anyone with an idea, whatever their background, can build with confidence, launch faster and take their product to the world.
