Adapty vs RevenueCat: Pricing and Features (Nov 2026)

I'm Antonio, and I use RevenueCat. I have no commercial ties to any of these companies, other than being a RevenueCat customer. This page compares Adapty vs RevenueCat on price first, because that is where the two differ in a way you can calculate, and then on features, using each company's own documentation.

Adapty publishes its own comparison page. Where I repeat a claim from it, I label it "says Adapty" and say whether RevenueCat's docs agree. Facts below were checked on 4 Nov 2026.

Short version

Under $2,500 a month in tracked revenue, both are free.
Between $2,500 and under $5,000, RevenueCat charges 1% and Adapty charges nothing. The most you can save in that band is just under $50 a month.
From $5,000 up, both charge 1% of all tracked revenue, so the bill is the same. The choice then rests on features and on how much work a migration is.

Adapty vs RevenueCat pricing

Both companies describe the same shape. RevenueCat: free under $2,500 in monthly tracked revenue, then 1% of all of it (RevenueCat pricing). Adapty: free while you earn under $5K a month, then 1% of monthly tracked revenue (Adapty pricing). Both measure revenue before Apple and Google take their cut, according to their pricing FAQs.

At the threshold the fee applies to the whole amount. At $2,500 RevenueCat's fee is 1% of $2,500, so $25. At $5,000 Adapty's is $50. Neither page says what happens at $5,000 itself on Adapty; I count it as $50.

Monthly tracked revenue	RevenueCat	Adapty	Difference
$1,000	$0 (under $2,500)	$0 (under $5,000)	$0
$3,000	1% x $3,000 = $30	$0 (under $5,000)	RevenueCat costs $30 more
$5,000	1% x $5,000 = $50	1% x $5,000 = $50	$0
$10,000	1% x $10,000 = $100	1% x $10,000 = $100	$0
$50,000	1% x $50,000 = $500	1% x $50,000 = $500	$0

Three things the table leaves out:

Plan structure. Adapty's Pro plan lists purchase infrastructure, a flow and paywall builder, A/B tests and revenue analytics under one price. RevenueCat's page says "All of RevenueCat's features and all of your data" and lists a paywall editor and A/B testing among them. RevenueCat also describes Growth Tools, where you bring your own infrastructure and "only pay on the conversions from the tools you use". I haven't priced Growth Tools; the page gives no threshold. Adapty lists optional add-ons with their own rates, such as Refund Saver at 0.2% of monthly revenue, and marks several of them "Free up to $5K/month". I haven't priced those either.
How the month is counted. Adapty's FAQ says that before you cross $5K it tracks revenue over a rolling 30 days at no charge. Once you cross, a monthly billing cycle starts and you pay 1% of that month's revenue. RevenueCat's billing periods run from one date to the same date the next month, not by calendar month (docs).
The band is small. $50 a month is real money for a small app and not a reason on its own to rebuild your purchase layer.

Feature comparison

Capabilities below come from official documentation. Where a vendor's marketing page says something its docs don't, I mark it.

Feature	RevenueCat	Adapty
Paywall builder	Single screen or multi-step (up to 10 steps), built from templates, from scratch or with an AI editor. Changes remotely, no app update. Multi-step navigation actions are next and back, plus conditional visibility rules (docs)	Flow & Paywall Builder: single- or multi-screen flows, onboarding, branching on user input. Needs SDK v4.0 or later (docs). Since 1 Oct 2026 the legacy builder can't create new paywalls (docs)
A/B tests	Control plus up to 3 treatments, 4 variants in all, split evenly among enrolled customers. Audience share from 10%. Targets country, platform, app version, SDK version, custom attributes, purchase history (docs). Results computed in real time (docs)	Up to 20 variants (docs), with a traffic weight per variant (docs). Tests on new users only are listed under cross-placement tests
Integrations	16 listed on its integrations page, including Amplitude, Mixpanel, Braze, Firebase, PostHog, Segment, Slack (docs)	19 attribution, analytics and messaging integrations in the docs index (for example AppsFlyer, Adjust, Amplitude, Mixpanel, Braze, Slack), plus webhooks, Amazon S3 and Google Cloud Storage (docs index)
Data export	Scheduled CSV or Parquet exports to Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage or email (docs)	Daily transaction export to Amazon S3 or Google Cloud Storage as gzip CSV (docs). An analytics export API with six metric methods (docs). The pricing page lists "custom data exports" under Enterprise

Where Adapty's page and RevenueCat's docs differ

Adapty's comparison page makes these claims about RevenueCat. Here is what RevenueCat's docs say.

Targeting attributes. Says Adapty: RevenueCat has 4 targeting attributes (country, platform, app version, SDK version). RevenueCat's experiments docs also list custom attributes and purchase history. Adapty's own "20+ attributes" figure I did not count.
A/B variants. Says Adapty: RevenueCat allows 4 variants. That matches RevenueCat's docs. The docs' wording is a control, a first treatment and "up to 2 additional treatment variants".
Paywall navigation. Says Adapty: RevenueCat navigates linearly (next and back only). RevenueCat's docs list the navigation actions "Navigate to next step" and "Navigate back" and describe conditional visibility rules, so the docs match the next-and-back claim.
Results timing. Says Adapty: RevenueCat results start after 24 hours and its analytics recalculate every 2 hours or so. RevenueCat's docs say experiment results are computed in real time and that most charts update in real time. These two accounts disagree. Test it on your own account if it matters.
Speed and outages. Adapty's page also cites load-time and outage figures from one production app. I couldn't check them, so I don't repeat them.

What switching involves

Going from RevenueCat to Adapty is a documented path. Adapty's migration guide has eight steps: learn the core differences (entitlements become access levels, packages become products, offerings become paywalls or flows), move the catalog, move paywall designs, replace the SDK, move integrations, forward store events, test and release, and optionally import transaction history. Says Adapty: a coding agent using the Adapty CLI does most of the work.

What the guide says to expect:

Existing subscribers move over when they open a version of your app with the Adapty SDK, and their access is restored automatically.
A flow created by the catalog migration shows an empty screen until its design is moved. The guide says not to release an app version that shows one.
Integrations are set up again. Webhooks, Slack and cloud storage exports aren't in your app code, so you find them in RevenueCat's dashboard.
On Google Play, Adapty subscribes to the Pub/Sub topic RevenueCat already uses. A new topic would stop notifications reaching RevenueCat.
It recommends waiting at least a week after release before importing history.

Adapty's pricing page says migration runs "a few days to a week", and its comparison page says "1 day avg. migration time". Both are says Adapty; I can't check either. The guide itself lists eight steps, and your timing will depend on your app.

Going the other way, RevenueCat's docs index has a section on migrating to RevenueCat and none on leaving it (docs index). You would use the scheduled exports for your data.

Stay with RevenueCat if

You earn $5,000 or more a month. The fee is identical, so moving changes nothing in fees.
You need SDKs Adapty's quickstart doesn't list, such as Cordova, Roku or Vega.
You want Azure Blob Storage, email or Parquet delivery for scheduled exports.
Your paywalls and experiments already work and you have no reason to rebuild them.

Consider Adapty if

You earn between $2,500 and $5,000 a month and want to pay nothing. Your fee could be up to $50 a month lower.
You want to test more than 4 variants at once. Adapty's docs allow up to 20.
You want onboarding quizzes that branch on answers, built in the same tool as the paywall.
You're starting a new app and the migration question doesn't arise.

FAQ

Is Adapty cheaper than RevenueCat?

Only between $2,500 and under $5,000 in monthly tracked revenue, where Adapty is free and RevenueCat charges 1%. From $5,000 up, both charge 1% of all tracked revenue, so a $10,000 month costs $100 on either.

Is RevenueCat free?

Yes under $2,500 in monthly tracked revenue. At $2,500 and above RevenueCat charges 1% of all tracked revenue, so $2,500 costs $25.

Can I switch from RevenueCat to Adapty without losing subscribers?

Adapty says yes. Users move to Adapty when they open an app version that includes the Adapty SDK, and their access is restored automatically. Paywall designs and integrations are set up again.

Which has better A/B testing?

Adapty's docs allow up to 20 variants per test and RevenueCat's allow 4. Whether more variants help depends on whether your traffic can support them.

Do Adapty and RevenueCat charge on revenue before or after Apple's cut?

Before. Both pricing FAQs say revenue is measured before the store's cut. A $10,000 month is charged on $10,000 even though Apple or Google keep part of it.
