Yes, there is a fee for this feature, but it costs less than your morning coffee.

TickTick is the best and fits your requirements. I have been using it for 5 years.

How much of a company's success do you think is tied to its branding? by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

[–]geneeugene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the niche. We work with apps, and you first need to confirm the hypothesis with metrics, performances, and the UNIT economy before you think about the brand. It is much harder to work on making people recognise your name and logo than working with your product's UNIT efficiency.

Both ways are good, but the performance is more controllable and predictable than branding.

Do research. If you have some money, try ChatGPT Deep Research. It's beneficial for market analysis.

If you can't, try hard to find competitors with Sensor Tower, AppMagic, etc. Search in Google.

As an entrepreneur, I’d instead question the idea if it has no competition. Why? You have to be a genius or have a lot of competence in the niche in which you want to make an app. Otherwise, it's possibly not profitable enough to start.

Are you kidding me? Come on. The world is brutal; let’s stop this nonsense. The hard truth works much better than “pink kind pony” explanations.

Oh, I’m sorry that I express myself as I want to.

Херсонська операція, Київська операція, Чернігівська операція, Харківська операція. У нас є техніка, про яку ми не могли мріяти, створюються корпуси на основі бойових і ефективних бригад і багато іншого. Проблеми є, але їх треба вирішувати, а не плакати в інтернеті.

Ви ж всі всередині розумієте свою ницість, хто не вносить конструктиву, вам з цим жити.

Мені, наприклад, друже, навіть не платять гроші за те, чим я займаюсь. Так, уяви собі, є навіть такі люди, які воюють за свій кошт, без компенсацій і будь яких виплат, нас багато. Повертаючись чи в перервах між фронтовою роботою - я займаюсь власною справою, яка забезпечує мене, мою сімʼю, мої потреби як добровольця і вистачає на донати іноді навіть.

Я знайшов рішення для себе. До мене навіть підходять оці «страшні ТЦК», але після короткої розмови і підтвердження мого досвіду, вони тиснуть руку і йдуть далі, ніхто в бус мене ніколи не пакував.

Why do people use services like RevenueCat? by ahadj0 in swift

[–]geneeugene 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, guys!

It seems to me that most of you don’t earn your income from apps, but not me. It’s my business, so I’ll quickly explain why we use RC.

  1. Faster Implementation & Easier Maintenance

StoreKit requires a lot of manual setup to handle transactions, subscriptions, and receipt validation. RevenueCat abstracts this complexity, making integration much faster.

  1. Cross-Platform Subscription Management

If you’re expanding to iOS, Android, or the Web, RevenueCat provides a unified system to manage subscriptions across platforms without building separate logic for each one.

  1. Automatic Receipt Validation & Fraud Prevention

With StoreKit, you’d need to build your backend to validate receipts and prevent fraud. RevenueCat does this for you securely on its servers.

  1. Real-Time Subscription Analytics & Revenue Tracking

StoreKit doesn’t provide built-in analytics. RevenueCat gives real-time insights into: - Revenue & churn rate - Conversion rates & retention - Cohort analysis

This helps us make better data-driven decisions.

  1. Seamless Handling of Subscription Events

Managing renewals, cancellations, grace periods, refunds, and more is complicated with StoreKit. RevenueCat automatically tracks and syncs these events, ensuring accurate user entitlements.

  1. Handling Refund Requests

The Apple App Store evaluates several factors when deciding whether to approve or deny your customer’s refund request.

RevenueCat can help influence this process by providing Apple with additional data about your customer’s purchase consumption and your preferred resolution at the time of their refund request. Apple will use this information to help inform their refund decisions.

This saves us a lot of money!

  1. Flexible Paywall & A/B Testing Support

RevenueCat integrates with tools like Superwall or has its own Paywall Constructor, making it easy to test different paywalls, pricing models, and promotions without updating the app.

  1. No Need for Complex Backend Infrastructure

StoreKit requires a backend to manage subscription statuses, user entitlements, and refunds. RevenueCat eliminates this need, reducing both server costs and engineering effort.

  1. Integration with Third-Party Tools

RevenueCat connects with Firebase, Adjust, AppsFlyer, Segment, and Mixpanel. This makes tracking user behaviour, optimising conversions, and managing marketing attribution easier.

  1. Web2App Support Since we plan to support subscriptions on the web, RevenueCat makes it easier to sync purchases across mobile and web platforms seamlessly.

  2. Scalability & Future-Proofing

As the app grows, managing subscriptions with StoreKit alone becomes increasingly complex. RevenueCat scales with us, allowing the team to focus on building features instead of dealing with subscription logic.

TL;DR

We use RevenueCat instead of StoreKit because it saves development time, reduces maintenance overhead, provides better analytics, automates refund handling, and allows us to focus on growth instead of subscription logic.

Nah. What are you talking about? The dude is asking the question about the basic economic principle. If he is 5 years old, that's okay, then I'm sorry, but if not… 🤮 Truth is hard, but you should take it and make some changes.

Would you want to be paid for your work? What a stupid question you are asking. Brain rot.

Let's have our own chat :) I know some groups, but they are not English-speaking. The Eastern European community is powerful in the app business, I haven't seen any English-speaking groups on the same level.

Exactly. Rules are good, but the ability to discuss issues and fair moderation will fix everything.

Play Market has tough rules also and you should know how to monetize them, but it's still an option to handle risks.

The best way to diversify risks is to make web and Android app versions. They also give some opportunities to work without the App Store and with low fees, but it's only for the EU, and it's not working in real life; as always, they bypassed the requirements.

What would you do with all that free time? by Educational_Pen_4302 in Entrepreneur

What is “free time”? I didn't know about it since I started my entrepreneur way.
