Apphud vs CAS.AI Mediation

Apphud provides subscription infrastructure and analytics for in-app purchases on iOS and Android. Its SDKs support iOS, Android, React Native, Flutter and Unity, and the service includes web access and an API. Teams can manage in-app purchases and auto-renewable subscriptions without server code. The dashboard reports subscription measures including MRR, retention, churn, ARPU, trial conversions, proceeds and refunds. A/B experiments let teams test purchases and paywalls, while Apphud says it validates App Store and Google Play receipts without server code. Integrations include analytics, attribution, messaging and notification services, as well as custom webhooks and APIs. Apphud Rules can offer discounts to retain or win back subscribers, but Rules are iOS-only. The free plan includes one seat and $10,000 MTR; after its grace period, renewals stop being tracked and dashboard access is unavailable. Pro costs $49 a month and includes five seats and online chat support.

CAS.AI Mediation is a mobile app ad mediation platform that runs a hybrid real-time bidding and waterfall auction for each impression. CAS.AI says it connects to 20+ ad networks and 150+ DSPs, including AdMob, ironSource, Unity Ads, AppLovin, and Mintegral. Supported formats include rewarded video, interstitial, banner, MREC, and native ads. SDK support is listed for Android, iOS, Unity, Flutter, Unreal, React Native, Cordova, Construct, and Godot. Auction reporting identifies the winning demand source and price for each impression. CAS.AI says it will pay the difference if earnings are lower in an A/B test, but this no-loss promise applies only to apps with at least 5,000 daily active users. Setup is free, while CAS takes a share of earnings; other commercial terms are set in separate agreements. The maker advertises consolidated payouts available from day five, crypto payout options, and 24/7 support. The SDK may collect IP addresses, advertising IDs, usage statistics, ad views, and click-throughs, and publishers must obtain appropriate user consent.
