Hidden Costs Breakdown

1% Fee on Gross Revenue Stacks With Platform Cuts

medium overage

RevenueCat's 1% fee is calculated on gross revenue before Apple's 30% (or 15% for Small Business Program) commission. At $10,000 MTR, you pay $100 to RevenueCat, $3,000 to Apple, and applicable taxes — leaving roughly 50% of original revenue. The fee compounds with every dollar of growth.

1% of revenue (not net profit) might not seem like much, but as revenue grows over time, this cost becomes significant. For instance, once your revenue reaches $10,000 (not net profit), 1% means paying $100 per month.

Sorry we are new to development of mobile application. This is our first experience of publishing one in app store. Do you have any opportunity for revenuecat already investors 30% cut is too big to lose & again there's revenuecat pricing?

Attribution Partner Integrations Require Sales Contact

high addon

Sending revenue events to attribution partners like AppsFlyer, Adjust, Kochava, and Tenjin is not available on the standard Pro plan. Requires contacting RevenueCat sales for an Enterprise or custom agreement, even for apps making $10k-$20k MTR where the RevenueCat fee is $100-$200/month.

I love RevenueCat as I have been using them for a while but have an issue with their pricing plan where in [their previous Analyze plan] they don't offer sending revenue events to attribution partners unless you are paying [more] — the logic makes zero sense.

Server-Side Webhook Access on Pro (Paid Threshold)

medium integration

Server-side webhook functionality requires a paid Pro account (i.e., once your app exceeds $2,500 MTR and the 1% fee begins). Apps on the free tier cannot use server-side webhooks for real-time subscription event handling.

Revenue cat is free for up to $10k/Month tracked revenue? ... EDIT: Just realized the server-side is paid.

Example: True Cost for 25 Users

License (25 × $0 × 12) $0/yr
1% Fee on Gross Revenue Stacks With Platform Cuts +1% of gross monthly revenue after $2,500 threshold
Attribution Partner Integrations Require Sales Contact +Custom pricing — potential significant uplift over Pro plan
Server-Side Webhook Access on Pro (Paid Threshold) +Must exceed $2,500 MTR threshold to unlock; fee then applies to all tracked revenue
Estimated Year 1 Total ~$0
That's roughly 1.7× the advertised license price. The median RevenueCat contract is $10,000/yr across 24 Vendr purchases.
