Provider	Billing Metric	Free Tier Allowance	Rate After the Free Limit	Infra vs Paywalls	Important Pricing Note
Superwall	MAR (Attributed Only) Infra is $0	Infra: $0, free at any scale on Superwall's published pricing (4 Nov 2026) Paywalls on Indie: $10,000 MAR	Indie: free up to $10,000 MAR, then 1% of all attributed revenue Startup: $49 + 1% Scale: $199 + 1% Enterprise: custom	Infrastructure is $0. Paywalls are a separate paid product.	When using remote paywalls, future subscription renewals from converted users are attributed to MAR. Exactly $10,000 MAR on Indie is free. On Startup and Scale the calculator assumes 1% from the first dollar; Superwall's page and FAQ differ on this. Says Superwall: imported and pre-integration users are never billed. The calculator doesn't model this. Pricing source

Native DIY (StoreKit 2 + Play Billing)	Cloud Server Hosting	0% SaaS Cut (Self-Hosted)	$0 commission; hosting $15, $45 or $120/mo by revenue (author's estimate, hosting only, excludes engineering time)	100% Custom code	0% third-party SaaS cut. The model adds $15/mo of hosting below $5,000/mo MTR, $45/mo from $5,000, and $120/mo from $30,000, to receive App Store Server Notifications and Google Play webhooks. These are the author's estimate, hosting only, excludes engineering time, and no provider publishes them.

RevenueCat also offers Growth Tools on your own infrastructure, where you "only pay on the conversions from the tools you use". Its page gives no threshold and says to talk to them, so the calculator doesn't model it.

For providers that charge on all revenue, crossing the free limit makes the whole amount billable. Going from $2,499 to $2,500 on RevenueCat, or $10,000 to $10,001 of attributed revenue on Superwall Indie, adds a fee on everything.
