Review Summary

RevenueCat is generally praised for its simplicity and ease of use, particularly in managing in-app purchases and subscriptions across iOS and Android platforms. Users appreciate its well-documented SDK, which streamlines integration and minimizes development time. While some find the initial setup slightly confusing, the robust documentation and dedicated support team are seen as valuable assets. Users also highlight the platform's comprehensive analytics and reporting features, which offer valuable insights into subscriber behavior. However, some users express concerns about the pricing model, with some finding it expensive for smaller startups. Additionally, certain features like more detailed analytics and push notifications remain unavailable in the free tier, which could be limitations for some users.

Pros

  • RevenueCat simplifies InApp purchase implementation, saving development time.
  • Welldocumented API makes integration easy for developers of all skill levels.
  • Provides a realtime dashboard for tracking subscriptions and revenue.
  • Excellent customer support, responding quickly to inquiries and resolving issues.

Cons

  • Free tier lacks some analytics features, requiring paid plans for full usage.
  • Some users find the concept of Products, Offerings, and Entitlements confusing.
  • Documentation may be outdated or incomplete in some areas, requiring extra research.
  • Web dashboard UX needs improvement, and a mobile app is desired by some users.

"subscriptions are complicated - unless you can use revenueCat"
What do you like best about RevenueCat?

Analytics - out of the box subscription retention and other top level metrics still require a huge initial set up - while solutons like revenuecat give you this data in no time.

Integrations - revenuecat is extremely easy to integrate into analytics and attribution (like appsflyer and amplitude for example)

Offer/product managment - running tests and managing multiple products can be extremely compilcated - but revenueCat helps a lot

Customer insights - tracking all the switches / upgrades / downgrades of a customer -

What do you dislike about RevenueCat?

honestly not much - integration was stable, data valid, support fast, i guess default upgrade/downgrade events can be a bit more flexible - especially when it comes to inconsistent behoavior across platforms (i know - this is indeed caused by the differences between platforms)

What problems is RevenueCat solving and how is that benefiting you?

Mobile application subscription management and analytics

"Great SDK, stellar customer service"
What do you like best about RevenueCat?

If you implement subscriptions, use RevenueCat. It won't solve all your problems, but those that it solves it solves, period. The customer support is fantastic!

What do you dislike about RevenueCat?

Small parts of the SDK are confusing - the fact that entitlements not only have to exist but also be marked as active, for example. There's a bunch of features I wish they'd build - more graphs, for example for the number of new users. But overall RC is fantastic.

What problems is RevenueCat solving and how is that benefiting you?

Both setting up in-app purchases and subscriptions, as well as learning how they actually work in the first place.

"Love using RevenueCat"
What do you like best about RevenueCat?

The documentation is the best part of RevenueCat in my opinion. Usually docs are hard to figure out unless you already know what you're doing but using the docs with code with Chris tutorials had me up and running within a few short hours

What do you dislike about RevenueCat?

I wish there were more ways to filter the customers list. I'd like to see which trials are expiring the soonest or see which consumers refunded their purchases. Otherwise I don't really have any complaints

What problems is RevenueCat solving and how is that benefiting you?

It solved my issue with making subscriptions. I didn't want to go through the hassle of making databases and stuff and RevenueCat made it much easier for me to handle this

"I never do reviews but RevenueCat is absolutely outstanding and they deserve it"
What do you like best about RevenueCat?

I love how easy it is to incorporate everything into your app. I have no clue why Apple makes it so frustrating... but RevenueCat saved me so much time and effort.

What do you dislike about RevenueCat?

Nothing. They're 10/10 in my book.

The team and founders seem nice as well!

Recommendations to others considering RevenueCat:

Do it. You will thank me later. Tweet at me @AndrewLeeReal if you don't love them.

What problems is RevenueCat solving and how is that benefiting you?

None. They were able to incorporate IAP for my iPhone apps easily... and it took less than 5 minutes.

"Effortless implementation of in app subscriptions."
What do you like best about RevenueCat?

RevenueCat simplifies the process of implementing in app purchases. You just need to implement few lines of code to implement. Implementing natively is very hard IMO.

What do you dislike about RevenueCat?

I didn't find the GitHub sample app much helpful for implementation. Had to learn from Code with Chris YouTube channel. But that's fine as I am a novice in swiftUI.

What problems is RevenueCat solving and how is that benefiting you?

iOS subscription management for my education related apps. Simplified approach and server side verification. Removes my overhead of digging into verifying subscribers.
