What is NocoDB?
Interfaces gets the permissions layer it needed, one release after launching.
NocoDB ships monthly, and the last two releases are a launch and its follow-through. 2026.08.0 introduced Interfaces, custom app surfaces built over a base; 2026.08.1 gives that layer what it was missing — per-dashboard visibility and editing permissions, field edit permissions enforced on interface pages, team-granted access, and page reordering. Alongside it the grid gains realtime presence with per-collaborator colours and jump-to-cursor, folders for grouping tables and views, up to three frozen fields, and nested records in List View.
What is 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.

NocoDB
6.3ANALYTICS
Interfaces gets the permissions layer it needed, one release after launching.
◆ Current state
NocoDB ships monthly, and the last two releases are a launch and its follow-through. 2026.08.0 introduced Interfaces, custom app surfaces built over a base; 2026.08.1 gives that layer what it was missing — per-dashboard visibility and editing permissions, field edit permissions enforced on interface pages, team-granted access, and page reordering. Alongside it the grid gains realtime presence with per-collaborator colours and jump-to-cursor, folders for grouping tables and views, up to three frozen fields, and nested records in List View.
◆ Where it's heading
The pattern is consistent: NocoDB launches a surface, then spends the next release making it governable and usable at team scale. Presence and folders are collaboration parity rather than new direction — the directional bet was Interfaces, and this release is that bet being made safe for the eighty people who only need to approve something. The permission system is now the same one across tables, fields, dashboards, and interface pages, which is the consolidation that makes the app layer sellable.
◆ Prediction
Write-back actions and embedding are the remaining pieces app builders expect from Interfaces, and the availability tables in each release suggest they land on the paid tier.
RevenueCat
0.0ANALYTICS
Stretching from subscription infrastructure into hybrid subs+ads revenue tracking, with paywalls getting smarter.
◆ Current state
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.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is moving from 'subscription billing infra' to 'mobile monetization platform.' Ad revenue tracking is the headline because it changes who RevenueCat is for — every freemium app with mixed monetization, not just sub-driven apps. Paywall Rules suggest the company is going deeper on the merchandising layer rather than ceding it to MMP-adjacent tools. The Experiments-side LTV predictions and locale-aware paywalls signal continued investment in the optimization story.
◆ Prediction
Expect the in-app ad revenue beta to GA with deeper SDK support for more ad networks, more sophisticated Paywall Rules conditions (likely user-segment and behavioral triggers), and tighter Experiments + ad-revenue correlation as customers compare hybrid monetization mixes.
