The open-source, self-hostable RevenueCat alternative

Three reasons come up again and again: the bill, who owns the data, and how hard it is to leave.

• The cost cliff. RevenueCat is free to $2,500 monthly tracked revenue, then charges 1% of all of it, before the stores take their cut. That is $500 a month at $50,000 and $10,000 at $1,000,000. Its pricing FAQ gives $25 for $2,500, and a staff reply confirms the 1% covers the whole amount.
• Data ownership. Your subscribers' purchase history sits in RevenueCat's hosted service. You can pull it through the REST API and scheduled exports, but it is not in a database you run. RevenueCat's security page names no hosting region.
• Lock-in. The SDK, the entitlement model, the webhook shapes and your paywalls all point at one vendor. Adapty's migration guide notes that Google purchase tokens come from RevenueCat support, and that promotional entitlements and refund history do not move.

RevenueDot is a server that answers the same API the RevenueCat SDKs call, so your app keeps the SDK and talks to a different host. The SDKs have a proxy URL setting built for this. RevenueDot also publishes hard forks of all ten SDKs that default to its host and verify its response signatures.

// Before Purchases.configure
Purchases.proxyURL = URL(string: "https://api.revenuedot.app")!
Purchases.configure(withAPIKey: "appl_...")

The work is an import, a side-by-side run and a release. The app change is one line.

1. 01

   Import your project

   Create a free Cloud account, then run npx revenuedot import --from-revenuecat with a read-only RevenueCat secret key. It copies apps, SDK keys, products, offerings, customers and history. Use --dry-run first.

2. 02

   Run both side by side

   Point App Store and Google Play server notifications at RevenueDot, which forwards each one to RevenueCat so both stay current.

3. 03

   Ship the one-line change

   Set the proxy URL in your next release, watch the dashboard fill, and turn RevenueCat off when most active users have updated.

• Younger. RevenueDot launched in 2026. RevenueCat has years of live traffic.
• No SOC 2 yet. RevenueCat publishes SOC 2 Type II. If you self-host RevenueDot, your own controls apply.
• Fewer stores. RevenueDot supports App Store, Google Play, Amazon Appstore and Stripe. RevenueCat also lists Samsung Galaxy Store and Paddle.
• Single-screen paywalls. RevenueDot's paywall editor builds single-screen paywalls; multi-step flows are not built yet.
• The paid plan is planned. Cloud is free to $10K a month today. The 0.5% rate above that, capped at $999, is planned and not charged yet.
