STOA verdict

If you're building a mobile app with paid subscriptions, RevenueCat saves you weeks of painful payment code by handling everything across iPhone, Android, and web in one place. The free tier is genuinely generous — you pay nothing until your app earns $2,500 per month, which means real revenue before any cost. The main downside is that it's only useful if you have an app with in-app purchases, so it's a very specific tool for a specific type of small business.
