Comparison
The short answer
Choose Adapty if you want a hosted growth suite with SOC 2 Type II, an AI flow and paywall builder, and a $5K free tier. Choose RevenueDot if you want an open-source backend you can self-host, the same RevenueCat SDK you may already use, and a planned bill that stops at $999 a month. Adapty charges 1% of all revenue once you pass $5K. RevenueDot Cloud is free to $10K.

Migration
RevenueDot's importer reads RevenueCat projects, not Adapty ones, so there is no one-command import from Adapty yet. The move is an SDK swap, and active subscribers reappear as their store receipts reach RevenueDot.
Create a free Cloud account, add your App Store and Google Play credentials, and rebuild your products, entitlements and offerings. Point store server notifications at RevenueDot.
Replace the Adapty SDK with the RevenueCat SDK, or a RevenueDot fork, and set the proxy URL to https://api.revenuedot.app.
On first launch, the app posts each customer's store receipt, so active subscribers are recognized. Run both backends in parallel for a billing cycle before you turn Adapty off.
Both are priced on tracked revenue, and both run a free tier. The real differences are where your data lives and how the bill behaves.
FAQ
No, not above $5K a month. Adapty is free under $5K a month, then 1% of all revenue: $500 at $50,000. RevenueDot Cloud is free to $10,000, and the planned paid rate is 0.5% above that, capped at $999: about $200 at $50,000. Adapty also charges extra for add-ons such as Refund Saver and attribution.
Adapty's pricing page and docs list no self-host option; it runs as a hosted service, with US or EU data residency on its Enterprise plan. RevenueDot can be self-hosted with Docker and Postgres, so purchase data stays in your own database.
Yes. Adapty says an independent CPA firm issues a SOC 2 Type II attestation for its security, availability and confidentiality controls, available under NDA. RevenueDot has no SOC 2 report yet.
Adapty is deeper today: custom traffic splits, unlimited variants and early winner predictions. RevenueDot runs offering experiments with deterministic enrollment and reports conversion, revenue and chance to win, and it works with the RevenueCat SDK's offerings.
Yes, but by SDK swap, not by importer. RevenueDot's importer reads RevenueCat projects only. You recreate products and offerings, point store notifications at RevenueDot, change the SDK and let customers re-sync from their store receipts.
