What is Adapty?
Adapty is handing paywall construction to coding agents and adding a credits economy underneath
Adapty's Flow & Paywall Builder is now the centre of the product, and August pointed a coding agent at it: a flow-generator skill lets Claude Code, Codex or Copilot CLI read a flow config through the CLI, rewrite it and preview the result. Alongside that, virtual currencies gave the platform a credits primitive, and Refund Saver reached Google Play as chargebacks there started costing developers real money.
What is Perk (TravelPerk)?
TravelPerk is widening approval channels and pushing harder into North America.
TravelPerk's recent cadence is dominated by approval-channel breadth (Microsoft Teams alongside Slack, SMS for time-sensitive requests), North America support hardening, and operational basics like CSV bulk user upload and Dutch localization. An events-management platform got a brief mention. Sustainability is creeping in via CO2e in car search.

Adapty is handing paywall construction to coding agents and adding a credits economy underneath
◆ Current state
Adapty's Flow & Paywall Builder is now the centre of the product, and August pointed a coding agent at it: a flow-generator skill lets Claude Code, Codex or Copilot CLI read a flow config through the CLI, rewrite it and preview the result. Alongside that, virtual currencies gave the platform a credits primitive, and Refund Saver reached Google Play as chargebacks there started costing developers real money.
◆ Where it's heading
Two directions are running together. Monetization is broadening past subscriptions into balances and consumables, and authoring is moving from the dashboard toward the terminal and the agent. The one-click legacy paywall migration signals the old builder is being retired rather than maintained.
◆ Prediction
Expect the agent skill to extend from flows into the rest of the CLI surface — products, placements, campaigns — so a whole monetization setup can be generated and reviewed as config.
Perk (TravelPerk)
5.0FINANCE
TravelPerk is widening approval channels and pushing harder into North America.
◆ Current state
TravelPerk's recent cadence is dominated by approval-channel breadth (Microsoft Teams alongside Slack, SMS for time-sensitive requests), North America support hardening, and operational basics like CSV bulk user upload and Dutch localization. An events-management platform got a brief mention. Sustainability is creeping in via CO2e in car search.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is expanding the surface where approvals happen rather than reinventing the booking flow itself, betting that meeting approvers where they already work cuts trip-cycle time. The North America push (toll-free line, expense integrations, region-specific posts) signals a deliberate market focus. Expect continued surface expansion plus a more developed events product.
◆ Prediction
The next directional move likely deepens the approvals automation with policy-aware auto-approve rules and tighter ties between expense integrations and the booking flow. North America support hours and integrations will keep expanding to close the gap with regional incumbents.
