About RevenueCat
Stretching from subscription infrastructure into hybrid subs+ads revenue tracking, with paywalls getting smarter.
RevenueCat is broadening from subscription-only to subscription-plus-ads with in-app ad revenue tracking now in public beta — apps using AdMob or AppLovin can send ad events through the SDK and see ad and sub revenue side by side. Paywalls have gained meaningful logic depth (Paywall Rules to show/hide components by intro-offer eligibility or custom variables) and the iOS/Android fallback paywall now auto-styles using the app icon's dominant color. Operational tooling has caught up: archived offerings/products/entitlements, OAuth token visibility and revocation, predicted-LTV winners in Experiments.
