"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...

revenuecat.comWhy we removed "always decline" as a refund preferenceRevenueCat removed "always decline" as a refund preference. Here's why it backfired, what your options are now, and what dynamic refund handling will look like.

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/...

revenuecat.comHow to Build a Subscription App Reactivation StrategyMost subscription apps either ignore churned users or spam them with discounts. Here's a six-part reactivation system that starts before the user even churns.

What if you let users pick their own price? In this hands-on tutorial, @lahteenlahti.com shows you how to build a "name your price" paywall for your app. One slider, five tiers, all unlocking the same lifetime entitlement. Drag to whatever feels right 👇

#Shipaton 2026 planning is in full swing, and we want YOU 🫵 to help us bring the world's largest mobile hackathon to your community or campus Developer meetups, indie hacker groups, and student organizers can apply now to host a Shipaton IRL Event at shipaton.com/events

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...

revenuecat.comWhy are React Native apps making more money?React Native apps consistently earn more than Flutter and native apps. See what 2026 RevenueCat data reveals about conversion, RPI, LTV, and why React Native teams win.

Checking UA campaigns 5 times a day hurts performance more than it helps. David Vargas, after 7 years running UA for 125+ apps, on the complete one-person system: four pillars, one channel, twice-weekly changes, no $30k MMP required. www.revenuecat.com/blog/growth/...

Apple just launched monthly subscriptions with a 12-month commitment. Here’s where to try (or avoid) the new configuration: 👎 You have bad retention 👎 You want annual plan cash upfront 👍 Localized pricing 👍 Users who want to commit, but can’t afford it www.revenuecat.com/blog/enginee...
