Hi! We’d love to have you. For this particular case it’s tricky on iOS since you can’t programmatically cancel a subscription on iOS. It must be initiated by the customer on the device. However, if you navigate that UX challenge, you can us

Hi! I'm the Chief RevenueCat Shill, aka CEO. We launched on HN back in 2018 ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17610735 ), were in YC that same year, and have since helped 20k apps power their subscriptions and in-ap

Yeah, we do. Doing it without a server is a lot of work. We'll automatically revoke entitlement when someone gets a refund from Apple.

I think it is but I'm the CEO so don't trust me. There are handful of competitors out there; I've heard mixed things and am obviously very biased. They do handle some things better than us, but on balance I think our product

Ah! Right, yeah that was me kicking it back to the top of the stack. IMO, these core issues are more important than almost anything else we do, but I think we aren't as good as we should be as making sure we are resourcing them over th

Hi, RevenueCat CEO here. Thanks for sharing honestly. I dug into both tickets. A bunch of failures both in product and process on our part. Going to dig in more.

We do use SFBA but the median salary, which isn't super competitive in those locales. Most top tech firms pay 75th %-ile+, so yea it makes SFBA recruiting challenging. This is def a downside because a lot of the scaling experience is s

Thanks for the great feedback. These are all legit issues. We have on our roadmap a revisiting of our API this year and I think we need to have a lower tolerance for abstraction leakage. Would you mind dropping me an email jacob@revenuecat.

Would love to hear how we can improve the API to make you not want Stripe to do it better. :) Obviously, Stripe is the gold standard and I think we have a hard time, but we're hoping to improve the developer experience even more this y

I think RevenueCat is the best.

Same could be said for CEO, you aren't really acting in the capacity as would be described by a guidance counselor. However, it is a nice signifier as to who "the boss" is. Same for CTO, it tells people, "this person own

Jacob here, RevenueCat co-founder and the colleague who ran the data for this post. The most interesting thing for me about the data is that there was a fairly flat 9% absolute drop in conversions across apps, independent of their base conv

Stripe might be sooner since it's mostly just backend work and we have some existing customers asking for it.

Yeah, sorry. You aren't the first to ask and I suspect not the last. We're gonna do it.

Hi Shane! I've grown a lot since the AppLoop days. :) As far as not losing motivation, I can't prove a negative, so I won't try. We are not dead if Apple does something to make the system much better, the problem of multi-cha

That is a great question. I think it's largely been overlooked by the incumbents (Zuora, Aria, Recurly) because of the complexities of the App Store and the relatively small market compared to credit cards. But the market is growing an

We want to have an SDK for every platform on Earth...eventually. Our REST API is pretty simple so it's easy for us to add new platforms. We just want to make sure we take the time to understand each one well before supporting them. Our
