RevenueCat is an American technology company that provides a platform for managing in-app subscriptions and purchases for mobile and web applications.[1] The company's software development kit (SDK ) and backend infrastructure allow developers to implement and manage subscriptions across different platforms, including iOS, Android, and the web.[2]
History
RevenueCat was founded in 2017 by Jacob Eiting and Miguel Carranza.[3] The co-founders had previously worked together at the brain-training app Elevate, where they encountered the complexities of building and maintaining in-app subscription infrastructure. They left Elevate in 2016 to create a tool that would simplify this process for other developers.[4]
The company launched a prototype in late 2017 and onboarded its first customer in early 2018.[4] In the summer of 2018, RevenueCat was part of the Y Combinator startup accelerator program.[5] By October 2018, the company had raised a $1.5 million seed round led by SaaStr, with 100 apps using its platform.[5]
In August 2020, RevenueCat announced a $15 million Series A funding round led by Index Ventures, valuing the company at $60 million. By this time, the platform was used by over 3,000 apps.[4]
The company raised a $40 million Series B round in May 2021, led by Y Combinator's Continuity Fund, which brought its valuation to $300 million. At the time of the announcement, RevenueCat was used by over 6,000 apps and had tracked over $1 billion in subscription revenue.[3]
In May 2025, RevenueCat announced a $50 million Series C funding round led by Bain Capital Ventures, bringing the company's total funding to $100 million and its valuation to $500 million.[1] The company reported that it powered subscriptions for over 75,000 apps, including notable customers like OpenAI's ChatGPT, Notion, and VSCO, and processed over $8 billion in annual transactions.[2]
Platform
RevenueCat's platform is designed to simplify the process of managing in-app subscriptions for developers. It provides a unified API and SDK that works across iOS, Android, and the web, abstracting away the differences between the Apple App Store, Google Play, and other payment platforms.[6]
Key features of the platform include:
- Cross-platform subscription management: A single backend to manage subscriptions across different platforms.
- Real-time analytics: A dashboard that provides metrics on revenue, churn, and other key performance indicators.
- Integrations: The platform integrates with various third-party services for analytics, attribution, and marketing.
- Paywalls: A drag-and-drop editor for creating and testing paywalls without writing code.[2]
- Web Billing: Support for processing payments outside of the app stores.[1]
