Neon Apps activity & outcomes reportPublished

November 2025 Neon Apps Activity and Outcomes Report Summary of November Activities In November, we began working closely with multiple clients across the portfolio. After each kickoff call, we created a dedicated Slack channel and introduced the support structure that includes a Customer Success Manager, a Technical Lead, and a Growth Designer. All requests, updates, technical reviews, and paywall related work were coordinated directly through these channels. Throughout the month, we supported several migrations from Adapty, retained clients who were preparing to switch platforms, and helped teams adopt features they had not used before. We also provided implementation guidance, experiment setup, monetization design, and troubleshooting across a wide range of cases.


Introduction of Dedicated Growth Designers

One of the most important improvements made in November was the expansion of our service model. Until this point, clients were supported primarily by a Customer Success Manager and a Technical Lead. Starting in November, we introduced a new level of service by assigning a dedicated Growth Designer to every managed client. The Growth Designer’s role is focused on:

  • Designing all paywalls inside RevenueCat’s Paywall Builder
  • Providing monetization strategy guidance
  • Supporting clients in running structured paywall and pricing experiments
  • Helping teams adopt best practices for conversion optimization This change proved essential. Many teams struggled to use the Paywall Builder effectively on their own and needed hands on support to fully benefit from RevenueCat’s capabilities. By assigning a Growth Designer to each account, clients began receiving tailored designs, faster iterations, and expert input on maximizing revenue. This addition has been valuable even for larger partners such as Scate. Their team emphasized that having access to a Growth Designer who can design, iterate, and test multiple paywalls is one of the most important parts of working with us. Below is an example email that illustrates how they immediately recognized the value of this role. Image Translated Text:
Thank you for the summary.
I’ve added my partner @Aras Karabiyikoglu, who handles the product side. We can proceed by creating a dedicated Slack group. Our first support request will be the Growth Designer :)
See you,

Co Founder, Scate
******* # **Operational Infrastructure Established in November** November was the month in which we built the full operational foundation for managing clients at scale. In addition to beginning work with multiple new and existing accounts, we established all internal systems, workflows, and communication structures required to support them effectively. During this period, we formalized and launched the following processes: + ### **Kickoff Meeting Framework** We created a structured flow for initiating each client engagement, covering integration planning, paywall strategy, analytics setup, and success milestones. Every client began their collaboration through this standardized kickoff model. + ### **Dedicated Slack Channel Setup** For each client, we created a dedicated Slack channel and added the Customer Success Manager, Technical Lead, and Growth Designer. These channels became the central hub for all day to day communication, updates, troubleshooting, paywall reviews, and implementation guidance. + ### **Feature Request and Bug Report Handling** We defined a clear workflow for receiving, documenting, and escalating feature requests and bug reports from clients. This ensured consistent tracking and timely responses. + ### **Roadmap and Product Guidance Support** Clients began using their Slack channels to ask product roadmap questions, seek feasibility guidance, and discuss future monetization plans. We supported these conversations with structured feedback from our technical and growth teams. + ### **Ad Hoc Meetings and On Demand Support** We held numerous ad hoc sessions throughout the month to address urgent questions, unblock integration issues, refine paywalls, and evaluate experiment results. This flexible structure allowed us to respond quickly and maintain momentum. ******* # **Key Client Highlights for November** This section showcases several notable client cases from the month. These examples represent significant outcomes, but they do not cover every client we worked with. ## **Retention Wins** **Wavera** Wavera operates multiple subscription driven mobile apps and has historically been one of the higher value accounts in the region. Before our engagement in November, they were preparing to leave RevenueCat due to competitive pricing offered by Adapty. ******* ## **Background and Initial Situation** Prior to our involvement, Wavera had: - Entered pricing discussions with Adapty. - Received an aggressively discounted offer of **0.25 percent** compared to RevenueCat’s **1 percent**. - Signed a contract with Adapty. - Already begun migrating their apps. At this stage, Wavera was a confirmed churn case with migration underway. ******* ## **Actions Taken in November** ### **1. Direct Engagement With the Founder** Our communication was entirely with **Orhan, the founder of Wavera**. Through multiple calls, we gained clarity on: - The pricing concerns driving the switch, - Their migration timeline, - The expectations they had for long term infrastructure support. These discussions allowed us to re frame the value of staying with RevenueCat. ### **2. Demonstrated Platform Value They Had Not Previously Used** We walked Orhan through RevenueCat capabilities that could directly support their growth but had not been activated before: - Paywall Builder and experimentation - Targeting and remote configurations This shifted the comparison from price driven to value driven. ### **3. Strengthened Support Structure** To ensure a better long term experience, we assigned: - A **Customer Success Manager** - A **Technical Lead** - A **Growth Designer** This structure provided Orhan with a clear, dedicated team focusing on retention, technical reliability, and monetization performance. ### **4. Tailored Financial Proposal** We offered Wavera a contract structure that aligned with their scale and addressed their cost concerns: - **4M USD annual commitment** - **0.6 percent fee for the first year** - **1 percent fee for following years** ******* ## **Outcome** **Wavera canceled their Adapty contract and stopped the migration.** After reviewing the commercial terms, support improvements, and long term platform benefits, Orhan chose to stay with RevenueCat. **They agreed to sign a 4M USD annual commitment.** Yoya Mobile Yoya Mobile was evaluating competitors due to pricing concerns. **Our Work** - Negotiated a tailored discount to retain the account. - Activated previously unused features with hands on guidance. - Assigned Customer Success, Technical Lead, and Growth Designer support. **Outcome** Yoya Mobile confirmed they will stay with RevenueCat and stopped evaluating competitors. ## **Competitive Migrations** Clients who migrated from Adapty or began the process of transitioning to RevenueCat, supported by our technical team and Growth Designers. **Unico Studio** Unico Studio had used Adapty long term but never found the time to migrate. **Our Work** - Reached out proactively and offered full migration support. - Eliminated all technical barriers and started migrating apps one by one. - Provided ongoing engineering and design assistance. **Outcome** Migration is in progress and Unico Studio is now actively engaged on RevenueCat.

Madduck Madduck is one of the well known mobile publishers in the region, operating multiple high performing subscription apps. They had been using Adapty for a long period and were deeply integrated into its workflow. Although they were familiar with RevenueCat, they had not previously considered a full migration due to operational complexity and historical comfort with their existing setup.


Background and Initial Situation

Before our engagement, Madduck was:

  • Fully integrated with Adapty across their apps,
  • Running live subscription products and paywalls on Adapty infrastructure,
  • Hesitant to explore a switch due to migration risks and engineering workload,
  • Uncertain whether RevenueCat’s features would deliver measurable improvements over their current system. They had not actively engaged with RevenueCat before and had no internal momentum toward migrating.

Actions Taken in November

1. In Person Visit and Full Platform Demonstration

We visited Madduck at their office to deliver an in depth demonstration of RevenueCat. During this session, we showcased:

  • Paywall Builder and dynamic experimentation
  • Remote configuration and targeted experiences
  • Advanced analytics, segmentation, and cohort analysis
  • Integration improvements for attribution and Search Ads
  • Infrastructure stability and migration flexibility This hands on walkthrough helped Madduck clearly understand the value and capability gaps between Adapty and RevenueCat.

2. Establishing a Low Risk Testing Path

Rather than pushing for full migration immediately, we proposed a minimal risk pilot:

  • Select one app from their portfolio
  • Integrate RevenueCat alongside their existing system
  • Build and test RevenueCat paywalls and experiments
  • Compare results against their current monetization flow This approach allowed them to evaluate real performance without committing to a full migration prematurely. Madduck agreed and selected one of their apps for the testing phase.

Outcome

Madduck confirmed that if the test results meet expectations, they plan to sign an annual contract and migrate their full portfolio to RevenueCat. Papcorns Papcorns is one of the large mobile app publishers in our region, operating a portfolio that generates more than 700k USD in monthly tracked revenue. They currently have an annual commitment with Adapty and have historically relied on external solutions for paywalls and monetization infrastructure. Their apps include both subscription and one time purchase models, with Playlist Transfer being app their highest performing product at approximately 150k USD MRR.


1. Opened the Door for Migration Despite Their Annual Adapty Contract

Although they were locked into an annual agreement with Adapty, we were able to position RevenueCat in a way that felt low risk for them.

  • We convinced them to test RevenueCat using one of their secondary apps before committing to full migration.
  • This approach allowed them to evaluate the value we provide without disrupting their existing contract.

2. Full Paywall Builder Training and Design

Papcorns had never used RevenueCat’s Paywall Builder before.

  • We delivered structured training sessions for their team.
  • Our Growth Designers designed and shipped new paywalls specifically tailored for their first test app.
  • We integrated these paywalls, set up experiments, and guided their testing plan.

3. Full Technical Setup for Their First App

Our Technical Lead worked closely with their team to:

  • Configure RevenueCat settings, entitlements, products, and events.
  • Integrate experiments and remote configurations.
  • Prepare the app for internal and external testing.

4. Identified and Solved a Critical Blocker for Their Highest Revenue App

During discussions, Papcorns shared that they were struggling with a major technical limitation for their top revenue app Playlist Transfer.

  • They had 150k USD MRR on this app.
  • They could not finalize certain features because they were missing access to the Amazon Music API.
  • They explained clearly that if we could help them solve this problem, they would migrate Playlist Transfer to RevenueCat immediately. We made this challenge a top priority.

5. Business Development Support to Secure API Access

We coordinated multiple rounds of outreach and meetings to unlock API access:

  • First meeting was directly with Amazon, but access was not granted.
  • Second step was through Commencis, an Amazon partner in Turkey, but they could not help.
  • Finally, we connected Papcorns with Redington Group, another authorized Amazon partner.
  • Redington moved the process forward and Papcorns is now expected to receive access to the Amazon Music beta API. This was a high impact business development effort that went well beyond normal support. PixelByte Apps PixelByte Apps is a mobile app studio operating multiple high volume consumer apps across several categories. Before November, they were using Adapty as their subscription infrastructure provider for their entire app portfolio. They had not used RevenueCat previously and were evaluating the feasibility of migration.

Background and Initial Situation

When we first contacted PixelByte, they were:

  • Fully integrated with Adapty across all apps,
  • Actively using Adapty’s paywall workflows,
  • Aware of RevenueCat but hesitant due to migration complexity and potential downtime. Their primary concerns were engineering workload, migration risks, and whether RevenueCat could provide stronger monetization tools than their current setup.

Actions Taken in November

1. Initial Discussions and Migration Planning

Through a series of calls, we explained:

  • The advantages of consolidating their subscription infrastructure on RevenueCat,
  • The long term benefits of Paywall Builder, experiments, and targeting,
  • The stability and analytics improvements they could expect,
  • How our team would fully handle the technical migration for them. This reduced their hesitation and opened the door to a full portfolio migration.

2. Full End to End Migration Support

Once PixelByte agreed to proceed, our Technical Lead handled the entire migration process:

  • Mapping all existing products, entitlements, and subscriber states,
  • Preparing migration guidelines to avoid user disruption,
  • Implementing RevenueCat SDK across multiple apps,
  • Ensuring data consistency and error free rollout,
  • Verifying real time events and integrations with their BI systems. The migration was completed smoothly across all apps with no revenue interruptions.

3. Paywall Builder Implementation and Design Work

PixelByte had a strong need for improved paywall performance. To address this, our Growth Designers:

  • Designed over twenty custom paywalls tailored to their different apps,
  • Built all paywalls directly inside RevenueCat’s Paywall Builder,
  • Set up initial A/B tests and recommended pricing strategies,
  • Helped PixelByte adopt a continuous experimentation workflow for their monetization.

Outcome

Full portfolio migration completed successfully. All PixelByte apps were transferred from Adapty to RevenueCat without issues or downtime.

Daily Support Operations

Throughout November, we provided continuous daily operational support to all other managed RevenueCat clients. Each client had access to a dedicated Slack channel, where our Technical Leads, Customer Success Managers, and Growth Designers actively responded to requests, coordinated configurations, and guided product teams through implementation and experimentation tasks.


RevenueCat Government Incentive Application Updates

During October and November, we carried out all necessary steps to register RevenueCat for the relevant government incentive programs in Turkey. As part of this process, we submitted approximately twenty formal requests on behalf of various RevenueCat clients and non clients. These requests were filed directly through the official channels and are documented in the tracker linked below. RevenueCat Turkish Companies Government Request Tracker Beyond the standard application workflow, we also leveraged our network to accelerate the process. This included direct coordination with our government contacts and arranging in person meetings with the two key officials responsible for final approval. Based on the most recent updates received from three separate contacts within the government, RevenueCat is expected to be included in the new incentive list planned for announcement between January and February.
