RevenueCat

Mobile-app subscription billing leader for iOS and Android.

By RevenueCat, Inc. · Founded 2017 · San Francisco, CA · private

RevenueCat is the mobile-app subscription billing leader, founded 2017. Last valued $500M (2023 Series C led by Y Combinator Continuity, Index Ventures, others). The product is purpose-built for mobile-app subscriptions: it abstracts the Apple App Store and Google Play store-level subscription mechanics (entitlements, receipt validation, paywalls, A/B testing, win-back) into a unified platform. Strengths: undisputed leader for mobile-app subscription billing, used by major mobile apps (Notion, Buffer, Calm, etc.), strong developer experience, free tier up to $2.5K MTR (Monthly Tracked Revenue), and aggressive feature velocity in mobile-paywall and store-mechanic abstraction. Best fit for mobile-first products with consumer or B2C app store subscriptions. Trade-offs: weaker for non-mobile (web subscriptions handled but not the differentiator), revenue-share pricing scales with MTR (1% above $2.5K MTR; can be meaningful at scale), and not the right tool for B2B SaaS web subscription billing.

Best for

Worst for

B2B SaaS web subscriptions (Chargebee/Stripe Billing better), enterprise CPQ + multi-entity (Zuora/Salesforce better), or high-volume processors hitting the 1% MTR ceiling.
