Best for
- Subscriptions in iOS and Android apps
- Syncing entitlements between stores and your backend
Watch out for
- It sits on top of the store's in-app purchase, so the store's commission still applies.
- Above $2,500 in monthly tracked revenue it charges 1% of what you track; the page doesn't say whether that's all revenue or only the excess.
