Focus on what's most important to you.

RevenueCat and Adapty are monetisation platforms billed on the revenue they track. IAPGUARD validates receipts on our servers and bills for the amount of transactions passed to us, never for what they were worth.

The short version

If you need paywalls, price experiments and revenue dashboards, a monetisation platform earns its percentage. If you are already live with your app and need purchases verified so they cannot be faked anymore, a percentage of everything you earn is a steep price for that.

What the difference means for you

Both competitors are free until you pass a revenue threshold. Above it they take at least 1% of the revenue they track, and nothing caps that: the better your app does, the more the same validation costs.

With us, your bill does not grow when selling more expensive products. It grows with the amount of transaction we process for you, at a predictable rate.

What we deliberately do not do

No paywall builder, no price experiments, no revenue dashboard. Those are the features a percentage pays for, and building them would mean measuring what you earn.

App Store responses do contain the price of each product. We do not process or aggregate them, so we cannot tell you how much your app makes. Neither can anyone who asks us.

Which one should you pick?

Choose a monetisation platform if

You want paywalls you can change without shipping an app update, you run pricing experiments, or you need subscriber cohort reporting to steer the business. Those tools are worth a percentage when you are using them.

Choose IAPGUARD if

Your store screen already exists and works, and the gap is that nothing verifies a purchase actually happened. You want that gap closed at a price you can predict, on a server the client cannot lie to, and you would like to own your business and revenue data.

Fake receipts stop working the day you connect your app.
