What is Adapty?
Adapty lets one paywall flow personalise itself with the app's own user data
Adapty has finished moving customers onto one builder: the old Paywall and Onboarding Builders were deprecated on October 1 and Paywalls now live inside Flows & Paywalls. Since then it added a yearly plan sold as 12 monthly payments on native iOS, and the November 9 roundup brings custom tags, where the app passes a value through the SDK and any text in a flow can display it, alongside flow funnels and screen animations.
What is PayFit?
Payroll platform's developer changelog has slowed from monthly in 2024 to three releases across all of 2025.
PayFit is a payroll and HR platform with deep France and UK coverage. The developer-facing changelog ran monthly through 2024 but slowed to three releases in 2025 — workingTimeModality and exemption fields on French contract endpoints (December), retroactive 24-month accountingV2 document generation (August), and absence status filtering (June). 2024 entries fill the rest of the recent window.

Adapty lets one paywall flow personalise itself with the app's own user data
◆ Current state
Adapty has finished moving customers onto one builder: the old Paywall and Onboarding Builders were deprecated on October 1 and Paywalls now live inside Flows & Paywalls. Since then it added a yearly plan sold as 12 monthly payments on native iOS, and the November 9 roundup brings custom tags, where the app passes a value through the SDK and any text in a flow can display it, alongside flow funnels and screen animations.
◆ Where it's heading
With the migration done, the work has moved to making each flow do more: personalised copy, funnel analytics on flows, and animation. Adapty is turning the paywall builder into a general onboarding and conversion surface, with agent-built flows from August and pricing experiments like the 12-payment yearly plan layered on top.
◆ Prediction
Expect more SDK-fed personalisation and per-screen analytics inside flows, and the 12-payment yearly plan to extend beyond native iOS; the entries give no timeline for either.

Payroll platform's developer changelog has slowed from monthly in 2024 to three releases across all of 2025.
◆ Current state
PayFit is a payroll and HR platform with deep France and UK coverage. The developer-facing changelog ran monthly through 2024 but slowed to three releases in 2025 — workingTimeModality and exemption fields on French contract endpoints (December), retroactive 24-month accountingV2 document generation (August), and absence status filtering (June). 2024 entries fill the rest of the recent window.
◆ Where it's heading
The public developer changelog has clearly deprioritized. The 2025 entries are field additions and existing-endpoint improvements rather than new product surfaces. PayFit may be making fewer partner-facing changes, or simply moving partner communication off the public changelog.
◆ Prediction
Without more recent data the safe bet is continued slow cadence on the developer changelog with primarily incremental field additions. A return to monthly cadence would be the early signal that PayFit is reinvesting in the partner ecosystem.
