01

RevenueDot

Best for: Teams that want to keep the RevenueCat SDK and either self-host or cap their bill.

An open-source backend for in-app purchases and subscriptions that implements the API the RevenueCat SDKs call. You change the SDK's proxy URL and keep your app code, then run it on RevenueDot Cloud or on your own servers. It includes 43 charts, paywalls with a visual editor, experiments, web checkout, 36 integrations, Refund Control and win-back.

Strengths

  • Keeps the RevenueCat SDK, so switching is one URL and no purchase-code rewrite.
  • Free on Cloud to $10K a month, with a planned cap of $999 and no revenue share when self-hosted.
  • Purchase data can sit in your own Postgres, in the region you pick.
  • Importer for RevenueCat projects and side-by-side forwarding of store notifications.

Watch out for

  • New: launched in 2026, so it has far less production history than RevenueCat.
  • No SOC 2 report yet.
  • Fewer stores than RevenueCat (no Paddle or Samsung Galaxy Store) and single-screen paywalls only.

02

Adapty

Best for: Growth teams that want a hosted paywall and flow builder with deep A/B testing and SOC 2 Type II.

A hosted subscription backend with a drag-and-drop flow and paywall builder, 50+ templates, an AI generator, A/B tests with unlimited variants, web payments through Stripe and Paddle, and revenue analytics. Open-source SDKs cover iOS, Android, React Native, Flutter, Unity and more.

Strengths

  • Higher free tier than RevenueCat: $5K against $2,500.
  • SOC 2 Type II, and US or EU data residency on Enterprise.
  • Flow and paywall builder with an AI generator, and A/B tests with custom traffic splits.
  • Documented migration from RevenueCat that takes about 2 hours, Adapty says.

Watch out for

  • Its own SDK, so purchase code changes.
  • 1% applies to all of the month's revenue past $5K, plus add-on fees.
  • Promotional entitlements and refund history do not migrate from RevenueCat.

03

Superwall

Best for: Teams whose growth comes from paywall design and experiments, and who want free subscription infrastructure.

A paywall platform that also runs subscription infrastructure: entitlements, purchase APIs, webhooks and SQL access are free. It adds a paywall editor, template gallery, A/B testing, audiences, campaigns, App-to-Web Checkout with Stripe and an AI paywall builder. It supports the App Store, Google Play and Stripe.

Strengths

  • You are billed only on revenue that converts through its own paywalls.
  • Deep paywall, experiment and campaign tools, with agent skills and an editor MCP server.
  • App-to-Web Checkout moves US iOS users to Stripe and links the purchase back.

Watch out for

  • Its own SDK, so purchase code changes.
  • Says it does not support Amazon or Roku, run virtual-currency systems or track ad revenue.
  • Its GDPR page names no SOC 2 report or hosting region.

04

Qonversion

Best for: Teams that want one hosted plan with every feature included and the lowest published percentage.

A hosted subscription backend with a no-code paywall builder, A/B experiments, LTV and cohort analytics, Refund Keeper, raw data export and an MCP server. It supports the App Store, Google Play, Stripe and Paddle, with unlimited apps and seats.

Strengths

  • Lowest published hosted rate, 0.8%, and a $7K free tier.
  • Every feature in one plan, with unlimited apps and seats and 24/7 priority support.
  • Written migration guide from RevenueCat; it says most apps finish in one to two days.

Watch out for

  • Its own SDK, so purchase code changes.
  • No Amazon Appstore in its docs, and no SOC 2 listed on its pricing page.
  • The 0.8% has no ceiling, so $1,000,000 a month costs $8,000.

05

Apphud

Best for: Small apps that want flat monthly plans and no-code web funnels.

A hosted subscription backend with revenue analytics, experiments, rules, a visual screen builder, paywall screens from Figma designs, and no-code web funnels (Flows) paid through Stripe or Paddle. Data is stored in the EU and US.

Strengths

  • A free plan with $10K of tracked revenue, a higher limit than RevenueCat or Adapty.
  • No-code web funnels with Stripe or Paddle, and a public MCP server.
  • Data stored in the EU and US, according to its data protection page.

Watch out for

  • Plan gating: server-to-server webhooks and daily exports need Expert.

  • Its own SDK, and its data protection page lists no SOC 2.

07

IAPHUB

  • Paid from the first real transaction: the free plan is sandbox only.
  • We found no paywall builder or experiments on its homepage or pricing page.

09

Build it in-house (StoreKit 2, Play Billing and your own server)

Best for: Apps with one platform, simple products and engineers who will maintain the billing code for years.

You use StoreKit 2 and Google Play Billing in the app and run your own server that verifies purchases, listens to App Store Server Notifications and Google's Real-time Developer Notifications, and keeps each user's entitlement in your database. Apple publishes an open-source App Store Server Library in Swift, Java, Python and Node.js to help.

Strengths

  • No revenue share and full control of the data and the logic.
  • No third party on the purchase path.

Watch out for

  • You own every store edge case: Google expects purchases to be acknowledged within three days or it refunds them, and Apple recommends checking status with its server API as well as notifications.
  • You build and maintain cross-platform identity, refunds, grace periods, analytics and paywalls yourself.
  • Each store changes its billing APIs on its own schedule, and you must keep up.

FAQ

RevenueCat alternatives: questions people ask

What is the cheapest RevenueCat alternative?

For most apps, RevenueDot: Cloud is free up to $10,000 a month and self-hosting is free with no limit. Superwall makes subscription infrastructure free and bills 1% only on paywall revenue above $10K. Qonversion is free to $7K, then 0.8% of all revenue. Adapty is free under $5K, then 1%. RevenueCat is free to $2,500, then 1% of all revenue.

Is there an open-source alternative to RevenueCat?

Yes. RevenueDot's server and dashboard are open source under AGPL-3.0, and it works with the RevenueCat SDKs. Adapty, Qonversion, Apphud and Superwall publish open-source SDKs on GitHub, but their backends are hosted services, not open source.

Can I self-host a RevenueCat alternative?

RevenueDot can be self-hosted with Docker and Postgres, so receipts, customers and purchase history stay in your own database. We found no self-host option on the pricing or docs pages of Adapty, Superwall, Qonversion, Apphud or Purchasely. Building in-house is the other way to own the whole stack.

Which RevenueCat alternative lets me keep the RevenueCat SDK?

RevenueDot. It answers the API the RevenueCat SDKs call, so you set the SDK's proxy URL and keep your purchase code. Adapty, Qonversion, Superwall, Apphud and Purchasely each have their own SDK, so switching to them means replacing the SDK and rewriting purchase code.

Is Glassfy still a RevenueCat alternative?

No. Glassfy announced that its services would end in December 2024, so it is no longer an option. Qonversion and Adapty published migration guides for former Glassfy customers.
