Appcharge Web Store vs RevenueCat

Appcharge Web Store is a hosted web storefront for mobile game publishers and studios that want to sell directly to players. Publishers configure prices, offers, currencies, payment methods and regional rules, while Appcharge hosts and maintains the store. Stores can mirror a game’s appearance and include daily bonuses, progress bars, checkout upsells, rolling offers, post-purchase offers, promo codes, coupons, subscriptions and loyalty programs. LiveOps personalization, localized currencies and seamless login support the player journey, with VIP exclusives and early-access rewards also listed. APIs, SDKs and webhooks connect the store with publisher systems and can synchronize game economy, segments and player data in real time. Checkout supports alternative payment methods and localized flows. Appcharge’s Merchant of Record service covers taxes, payment processing, risk management and compliance. It lists PCI DSS Level 1 compliance, SOC 1 Type 2 and SOC 2 Type 2 certification, and GDPR, COPPA and CCPA alignment. Pricing is on request.
