Mobile App Monetization Without Apple's 30% Cut

Apple's IAP charges a 30% commission on every transaction and gives developers no control over the checkout experience, cancellation flows, or subscriber data. Allocents provides a direct billing SDK at 5% + 50¢ per transaction where you own the checkout UI, can intervene during cancellations, and have full visibility into subscriber behavior. The core difference is that Allocents acts as your merchant of record, handling tax, fraud, and chargebacks, while giving you the revenue margin Apple's IAP does not.

Yes. Allocents' Switch and Save campaigns are designed specifically for this. The SDK identifies existing StoreKit subscribers and intelligently surfaces an offer to switch to direct billing at a configurable point after their initial subscription. You control the timing, discount level, and prompt copy. The gradual rollout feature lets you start with 10% of your subscriber base to validate the migration before scaling, reducing the risk of disrupting your existing revenue.

Yes. Allocents supports subscription-based apps such as fitness, media, productivity, and dating apps, as well as mobile gaming studios that sell consumables like coins and gems. The SDK supports recurring billing for subscription products and one-time purchases for consumables. Native-feeling UI flows work across both monetization models, and the merchant of record service covers both transaction types.

Allocents provides a single SDK with support for Swift and SwiftUI on iOS, Kotlin on Android, and Flutter. React Native support is coming soon. Integration takes approximately 15 minutes and requires under 10 lines of code to initialize. The same SDK powers all checkout flows — embedded payment sheet, Sign Up and Save paywalls, Switch and Save campaigns, and cancellation flows — across all supported platforms.

Allocents Billing is the full merchant of record option at 5% + 50¢ per transaction. Allocents handles all payments, tax remittance across 190+ countries, chargebacks, fraud protection, refunds, and customer support. Bring Your Own Stripe (BYOS) lets you connect your existing Stripe account and use the same SDK and UI flows, but you act as the merchant of record and handle compliance responsibilities yourself. BYOS is priced at 0.5% of the revenue Allocents' offers successfully migrate, making it the lower-cost option for larger teams with existing billing infrastructure.
