Our take

RevenueCat was founded by developers who understood the complexities of scaling a subscription app firsthand. The company’s software development kit (SDK) solution gives companies the tools they need to build a subscription business for Android and iOS.
Although similar subscription companies exist, RevenueCat’s main differentiator is that its application processing interface is easy to use for developers and accessibly priced - RevenueCat charges a small percentage of an app’s sales instead of a flat fee.

Top companies like VSCO, Notion, WidgetSmith, Buffer, and Fishbrain use RevenueCat to power their subscriptions at scale, and the company is now handling subscriptions for millions of mobile subscriptions across thousands of apps. It continues to expand operations and make new partnerships towards bettering its capabilities for the future.
