Recently, I found myself needing to choose an in-app purchase library again. I was deciding between RevenueCat and Qonversion.

On the surface, you would be able to save more money with Qonversion.

Let’s take for example, a scenario where your Monthly Tracked Revenue (MTR) is $10k.

RevenueCat

Charges 1% when you started earning $2.5k or more MTR

In our example, that would be $100

Qonversion

Has 3 plans: FREE up to $10k MTR / $6 per $1,000 MTR / $8 per $1,000 MTR

In our example using the 3 Plans respectively that will be FREE / $60 / $80

The Highest Plan is still $20 cheaper than RevenueCat

Conclusion

After careful deliberation, I still decided to go with RevenueCat. But why, you might ask?

RevenueCat provides me with a comprehensive suite of features that I can leverage, all without having to pay a dime until my app reaches an MTR of $2.5k.

These features could prove to be invaluable in fostering my app’s growth, especially once I delve deeper into the capabilities and potential they offer.

I believe that these tools could help me navigate the competitive landscape of app development and monetization.

I am more than comfortable with the idea of paying once I start earning $2.5k from my app.

However, I am not comfortable with the idea of shelling out even $8 from my pocket when my app is still in its infancy and not generating significant revenue.

How about you? What would you choose?
