Apphud vs Superwall

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.

Superwall is an AI-powered monetization stack for subscription and mobile apps that helps teams build, test, and optimize paywalls. Its paywall engine serves iOS, Android, React Native, Flutter, and Web from one web-standards-based runtime, with SDKs for Swift, Kotlin, React Native, Expo, and Flutter. Entitlement APIs, purchase APIs, webhook delivery, direct SQL access to subscription data, and integrations are free on every plan. Paywall revenue is billed at 1% when attributed to Superwall-rendered paywalls; subscriptions purchased outside Superwall are free. The service includes campaigns, audiences, templates, charts, in-app purchase and subscription support, and A/B testing. Superwall AI can use documentation, SDK source, account data, and analytics queries without a usage limit. App-to-Web Checkout sends U.S. iOS users to Stripe Checkout in Safari and links purchases back to the app. Startup costs $49 a month plus 1% of MAR; Scale costs $199 a month plus 1% of MAR.
