No RevenueCat account
The RevenueCat SDK is open source under the MIT licence. RevenueDot gives each of your apps its own key.
New to in-app purchases
Add subscriptions to your app for free until it makes $10K a month
RevenueDot is a free backend for in-app purchases and subscriptions. You install the RevenueCat SDK, an open-source library that needs no RevenueCat account, and point it at RevenueDot with one line of code. Then you sell on the App Store and Google Play, and on the web with Stripe. RevenueDot Cloud is free until your app makes $10,000 a month.
No RevenueCat account and no credit card needed. Test purchases work before you have an App Store or Google Play account. Already have an account? Sign in
Free until it earns
RevenueDot Cloud costs nothing up to $10,000 a month in store revenue, counted before Apple and Google take their cut.
Test without a store account
The built-in Test Store makes purchases that unlock access and send events like real ones, so you can build the paywall first.
Your AI tool can set it up
Connect Claude Code or Cursor to RevenueDot's MCP server and paste the prompt below. It creates the products and writes the code.
Setup
Add subscriptions in five steps
This sets up one pro plan sold monthly and yearly. The same steps work for credits and lifetime purchases.
- 01
Create a free account
Sign up at app.revenuedot.app and name your first project. A project holds your apps, products and customers.
- 02
Add an app, a product and a plan
Add a Test Store app. Add a product such as
pro_monthly, an entitlement calledprothat the product unlocks, and an offering calleddefaultthat your paywall shows. - 03
Install the SDK
Install the RevenueCat SDK for your framework from the table below. RevenueDot also publishes MIT forks that point at RevenueDot by default: iOS on CocoaPods, Android on Maven Central and web on npm.
- 04
Point it at RevenueDot
Before you configure the SDK, set its proxy URL to
https://api.revenuedot.appand use the key RevenueDot shows for your app. With the stock SDK, also turn off its signature check, as in the code below. - 05
Show the paywall and check access
Load the current offering, show its packages, and buy one. Then check whether the customer has the
proentitlement. When it works with the Test Store, connect the App Store and Google Play in the dashboard.
Step 4 on iOSSwift
// Set before configure. Nothing else in your purchase code is specific to RevenueDot.
Purchases.proxyURL = URL(string: "https://api.revenuedot.app")!
Purchases.configure(with: Configuration.Builder(withAPIKey: "test_...")
.with(entitlementVerificationMode: .disabled)
.build())SDKs
Pick your framework
Each guide has the install line, the proxy setting and a full paywall example for that framework.

Words
The five words you need
In-app purchase tools use a few words that confuse almost everyone at first. Here is what each one means in your app.
- Product: one thing a customer can buy, created in App Store Connect or Google Play Console, such as
pro_monthlyat $4.99. - Entitlement: what a purchase unlocks, such as
pro. Your app checks the entitlement, never the product, so you can add plans later without an app update. - Offering: the set of products your paywall shows right now. Change it in the dashboard to test prices without a release.
- Paywall: the screen that shows the offering and the buy button. RevenueDot has ten templates and a visual editor.
- Test Store: RevenueDot's built-in store for testing. Its purchases are always sandbox data. See Test Store.
Price
What it costs
RevenueDot Cloud is free until your app makes $10,000 a month, counted before Apple and Google take their cut. Above that, the planned price is 0.5% of the revenue above $10,000, capped at $999 a month. It is not charged yet. You can also run RevenueDot on your own servers for free. See pricing.
The stores keep their own commission, usually 15%. See what Apple and Google charge.
Claude Code and Cursor
Let your AI coding tool set it up
Connect your tool to RevenueDot once, sign in, and paste the prompt. The RevenueDot tools create your products and plan, and the assistant writes the SDK code. It never needs your store keys or a secret key.

Copy-paste prompt
Add subscriptions to this app with RevenueDot as the backend.
Use the RevenueDot MCP server (https://mcp.revenuedot.app/mcp) for every RevenueDot step, and follow the add-subscriptions skill from https://github.com/revenuedot/agent-skills. The docs are at https://revenuedot.app/llms.txt.
1. Create a Test Store app, plus an iOS app and an Android app if this project ships to those stores.
2. Create monthly and yearly products, a "pro" entitlement that they unlock, and a "default" offering with both.
3. Install the RevenueCat SDK for this framework. Set its proxy URL to https://api.revenuedot.app before configure, and use the public SDK key RevenueDot gives each app.
4. Show the current offering on a paywall, unlock premium features only when "pro" is active, and add a Restore purchases button.
5. Test with the Test Store key first.
Never ask me to paste a store key or a secret key into the chat. I will add store keys in the RevenueDot dashboard.How the connection works and what the assistant may do: Connect AI assistants · AI connectors · llms.txt
FAQ
Questions people ask
Do I need a RevenueCat account to use RevenueDot?
No. The RevenueCat SDK is an open-source library that you install from its usual package registry. RevenueDot gives each of your apps its own key, and the SDK talks only to RevenueDot once you set its proxy URL. RevenueDot is not affiliated with RevenueCat.
Is the RevenueCat SDK free to use?
Yes. RevenueCat publishes its SDKs under the MIT licence on GitHub, which allows anyone to use them. RevenueDot also publishes MIT forks that point at RevenueDot by default.
Can I test purchases before I have an App Store or Google Play account?
Yes. Add a Test Store app in RevenueDot and use its test_ key. Its purchases unlock entitlements and send webhooks like real ones, and they are always sandbox data. You need the App Store and Google Play accounts when you sell for real.
What does RevenueDot cost for a new app?
Nothing until the app makes $10,000 a month in store revenue. Above that, the planned price is 0.5% of the revenue above $10,000, capped at $999 a month, and it is not charged yet. Self-hosting is free.
Can Claude Code or Cursor add subscriptions for me?
Yes. Connect the assistant to https://mcp.revenuedot.app/mcp, sign in, and paste the prompt on this page. The RevenueDot tools create the apps, products, entitlement and offering, and the assistant writes the SDK code. You enter store keys yourself in the dashboard.
