Really happy with it, I like their documentations and the ease of use

Pros

The simplicity to setup in-app purchases for mobile apps and the pricing

Cons

Really I don't know what to say here. Maybe the cheaper plan could have a bit more features?

It takes a lot for me to leave a bad review. RevenueCat is a great idea, but poorly executed. The documentation is scatty, their API is inconsistent, there has been 2 sets of downtime since I signed up and the level of support from RevenueCat is absolutely unacceptable. For a company that takes a 1% cut of your revenue forever—potentially up to thousands of dollars per month—this is beyond ridiculous. 5-10 business days for an email response? If I’m lucky, maybe 2-3 days. Their documentation is a joke, basically saying to try the obvious and failing that “Go ask someone else on the forums” And their forums? Just a graveyard of unanswered posts with people begging for updates. I’ve been stuck trying to fix Android issues for over a week. I’m confident my setup is correct, but still, nothing works. Getting any kind of timely help from RevenueCat is like pulling teeth. I even wasted time in one of their Q&A sessions on the recommendation of their support team, which was nothing more than a shameless product pitch. Their exact words: “We aren’t answering implementation questions today.” despite half of the people on the session voting for implementation help. It’s clear to me that RevenueCat doesn’t prioritise supporting their customers. Their strategy is obvious—sign up as many people as possible, then leave them hanging. When our success is literally their success, how can they justify this level of neglect? It’s infuriating.

Pros

I like the idea of it, and the fact that it could consolidate.your monetisation strategy. (When it works correctly)

Cons

The support is terrible, the documentation is terrible.

Pros

RevenueCat makes it easier to handle subscriptions for mobile apps through the Apple and Google Play Stores. It handles a lot of the behind-the-scenes mechanics of checking users' subscription status and dealing with refunds and cancellations.

Cons

It's very expensive - because you're charged based on revenue processed, it can wind up eating a huge percentage of your profits for apps with moderate or low margins. It's tough to make a business work when Apple or Google takes 15-30% and RevenueCat takes another significant cut off the top. Other issues: the app often has significant downtime/outages which aren't always reported or resolved promptly, and the charts features are quite unpolished.

We turned to RevenueCat because of the hassle that exists trying to verify purchases manually. Doing this ourselves would mean setting up a server, handling all the different cases across the App Store and Play Store, and making sure this server is maintained and always live. For a small team like ours, this just wasn't viable and any potential money "saved" doing it ourselves would be lost in the time we would spend setting up our own solution. That would also mean extra time before an app can be released which would increase our time to market. RevenueCat handled everything we needed it to and took about a week to fully integrate.

Pros

RevenueCat made it really easy for us to implement In-App Subscriptions for our app with absolutely no prior experience in taking payments on mobile devices. It saved us the upfront cost of paying for our own server to verify purchases along with the potential months of headache to handle all of the different scenarios you need to plan for and handle with in-app purchases (buying, renewing, pausing, canceling, etc.) Being able to pull information directly from RevenueCat instead of hard-coding it into our app also meant we could have a single source of truth (the App Store/Google Play Store) where we would update our available products.

Cons

The only thing I wasn't a fan of (which has since been changed) was the payment model. When we first integrated it, the payment model was a fixed monthly rate versus the percentage cut that it is now. Extremely useful features like webhooks weren't accessible for us at the time because of this, but as I stated they've now changed this. Because of that, I cannot name anything I dislike about RevenueCat.

Reasons for choosing RevenueCat

The competitor we considered didn't look bad, but we trusted RevenueCat because large app companies were already using them.

I am very satisfied with this service and hope to use it for the next years to come.

Pros

Implementing custom billing structures that are reliable and secure is difficult. When building our app, RevenueCat made the implementation process much easier. It allowed us to quickly implement subscriptions and in-app purchases with Apple and Google Play.

Cons

Since I've been working with this software (for 3 months now). I have not encountered any problems, and if so, the support team was quick to help me solve them.

Reasons for choosing RevenueCat

Our requirements left us with no other options than RevenueCat.

Pros

To successfully manage iOS App Store subscriptions, you need to have a server component. You can roll your own solution and troubleshoot and support it, or you can use Revenue Cat for free (up until $10k/mth revenue). You get access to a Dashboard and all of the essentials services for subscriptions, and if you want detailed reports, you can pay a nominal amount for access. Using Swift Package Manager, it easily integrated into an existing Objective C codebase, without requiring third party package managers.

Cons

Would be nice to have access to reports in the free tier, but not unreasonable to only have the dashboard.

Fantastic! Customer service has been incredible. Very impressed by the dashboards and the SDKs that you can use to implement into your app. I am honestly amazed and would highly recommend them.

Pros

As an app developer, I ran into several nuances with how different platforms have different requirements for processing payments. RevenueCat made it easy to implement In-App payments in a time when I was pressed for time. I also use Stripe and will be implementing Google Play IAP when they force it in fall 2020. RevenueCat makes it easy to combine all subscriptions into a nice dashboard where I can go to see and manage all of my subscriptions regardless of the platform.

Cons

I somewhat struggle with the thought of paying a small percentage of my revenue rather than paying a flat, monthly rate. Currently, with revenue so low, RevenueCat is definitely worth it. As revenue increases, I may have to consider implementing some of these webhooks myself to manage my own subscriptions.

Reasons for choosing RevenueCat

They had the SDKs I needed to integrate with capacitor applications
