Pricing is based on monthly tracked revenue (MTR): free up to $2,500 in MTR, then 1% of MTR beyond that, with custom Enterprise pricing for high-volume apps.

A good fit for

  • Mobile apps that want one backend for subscriptions across iOS, Android and web
  • Teams that want to test paywalls and pricing without shipping new app builds for every change
  • Apps that want to capture subscription revenue outside app store fees via web payments
  • Developers who want subscription analytics without building that reporting themselves

Not a good fit for

  • Apps with very high monthly tracked revenue where the 1% fee becomes a large absolute cost compared to handling billing directly
  • Non-subscription apps or products, since RevenueCat is built specifically around subscription and entitlement management
  • Teams that want a single flat price rather than revenue-based pricing

About RevenueCat

RevenueCat sits between a mobile app and the App Store or Google Play billing systems, giving developers a single API and set of SDKs to manage subscriptions, entitlements and receipts across platforms instead of building that logic separately for each store.

It includes tools for building and testing paywalls, running A/B tests on pricing and paywall design, and web-to-app funnels for driving subscriptions from outside the app stores, plus an analytics dashboard for subscription metrics like churn, trials and revenue.

In 2025, RevenueCat partnered with Paddle to let app developers also offer merchant-of-record web payments, aiming to help apps capture subscription revenue outside standard app store fees.
