How RevenueCat and Paddle Empower App Developers with Web Payments
Are you an app developer wondering how to monetize your subscriptions beyond Apple’s in-app purchase system? RevenueCat and Paddle have teamed up to offer a powerful solution that lets developers accept payments on both web and mobile platforms—without losing revenue to Apple’s commissions. This new integration is especially relevant after recent U.S. App Store policy changes now allow iOS apps to link out to web payment options. If you want to maximize your subscription revenue while simplifying payment and subscription management, understanding how this partnership works could transform your app’s business model.
A New Era for App Subscription Payments
Traditionally, Apple’s in-app purchases have dominated how developers monetize iOS apps, but new regulations have opened the door to alternative payment methods. The court ruling in the Epic Games vs. Apple antitrust case allows developers to direct users to web-based payments, bypassing Apple’s 15-30% commission fees. This change creates a significant opportunity for developers to grow revenue through direct web payments—a complex task made easier by the combined strengths of Paddle and RevenueCat.
How Paddle Simplifies Web Payments and Compliance
Paddle specializes in managing web-based payments, including handling intricate tax and compliance challenges that come with selling digital subscriptions worldwide. By integrating Paddle, app developers can confidently expand to the web, knowing their payments are secure, compliant, and globally optimized. This backend support reduces operational headaches and frees developers to focus on creating great apps rather than wrestling with payment infrastructure.
RevenueCat’s Role in Subscription Analytics and Cross-Platform Management
While Paddle manages payments, RevenueCat offers a comprehensive subscription management platform that tracks user subscriptions and performance across web, iOS, and Android. This unified dashboard provides real-time analytics, making it easier for developers to monitor revenue streams and subscriber behavior in one place. The integration allows users to subscribe once and access their content seamlessly across all devices, enhancing the user experience and reducing churn.
Real-World Impact: Case Study of the Running App Runna
Apps like Runna have already adopted this dual-provider approach to monetize subscriptions more effectively on the web. This seamless integration of Paddle and RevenueCat offers developers an efficient way to manage payments and subscriptions across multiple platforms, opening new revenue streams while simplifying technical complexity.
Why This Partnership Matters for Developers
Jimmy Fitzgerald, CEO of Paddle, highlights the enormous growth potential for subscription apps expanding to web payments but notes the operational challenges involved. “By partnering with RevenueCat, we’re making it easier for developers to manage subscriptions across platforms while giving them more control over how and where they monetize,” Fitzgerald said. RevenueCat’s CEO Jacob Eiting echoed this sentiment, emphasizing that this integration empowers developers to offer flexible, web-based payment options alongside traditional app stores, fueling growth and improving profitability.
