"Always decline” is no longer available as a global refund preference in RevenueCat. Blanket declines erode their effectiveness over time and can push users toward chargebacks. If you had it enabled, your setting is unchanged. www.revenuecat.com/blog/company...

Most apps treat cancellation as the end. Our data shows ~20% of monthly subscribers come back within a year. The difference: a system (timing, context, frictionless re-entry) vs. a random discount 3 months later. Alice Muir Kocourková's full framework: www.revenuecat.com/blog/growth/...

Most paywalls don't fail because of pricing... They fail because you don't know what to test! If you're building a subscription app, we put together a playlist covering the fundamentals of getting started with RevenueCat Paywalls: Get started here ↓ youtu.be/of1k0SvLyaI?...

React Native apps generate $31.78 in first-year value per paying customer. Native and Flutter sit around $21. That's a ~50% gap, from 115,000 apps in our data. Perttu Lähteenlahti on why it keeps happening: www.revenuecat.com/blog/enginee...

In 2022, Thomas Petit predicted hybrid monetization. In 2026, AI made it the default. Costly AI-based features + a flooded app market = a perfect storm ⛈️ Here’s where we’ve come from and how subscription apps need to adapt 🔗 www.revenuecat.com/blog/growth/...

Waiting for ✨perfect✨ before you ship is a trap. Fast feedback beats false certainty, and speed only works if you don’t break trust along the way. Speed by default. Perfection selectively. 👀 👇

Subscriptions aren’t one-size-fits-all 👉 power users hit ceilings, casual users won’t commit. Hybrid monetization helps: 💡 Use subs to anchor value 💡 Add consumables to raise the ceiling 💡 And one-offs to lower the floor Thomas Petit explains 🔗 www.revenuecat.com/blog/growth/...
