Josh Mohrer, former head of Uber NY, went solo to build Wave. His first setup was a patchwork of tools — one for paywalls, another for analytics, and A/B testing somewhere else. Nothing connected, and revenue optimization turned into endless debugging.
Switching to Adapty changed everything. With paywalls, analytics, and A/B testing all in one place, Josh could launch and iterate paywall tests in days, not weeks.
FAQ
What makes Adapty different from Superwall?
Superwall handles paywalls but lacks subscription management infrastructure, forcing you to integrate additional tools like RevenueCat. Adapty is an all-in-one platform with subscription backend, paywalls, analytics, predictive insights, and tests, everything in one SDK.
The key difference: Adapty scales from launch to millions without requiring additional tools.
How does Adapty’s paywalls compare to Superwall?
Both offer customizable builders. Superwall uses WebView (flexible, but slower). Adapty uses native rendering for faster, smoother paywalls, even offline. Plus, Adapty adds AI paywall generation, predictive A/B testing, and app-wide analytics.
Main difference: with Adapty, paywalls are part of a complete monetization system, not a standalone tool.
Does Adapty have React Native SDK?
Yes. Full support for React Native, iOS, Android, Flutter, and Unity. Includes subscription management, paywall presentation, analytics, and A/B testing. Works with both bare RN and Expo.
Can I use Superwall for my app’s subscription analytics?
Only basic conversion-focused analytics. No LTV predictions, cohort analysis, or full revenue tracking. For that, you’d need additional tools.
What happens to my data and analytics if I switch from Superwall to Adapty?
Adapty provides free migration assistance, including historical data import. Transition usually takes <24h: install SDK, test, release. All active subscriptions sync automatically once the app is updated.
Do I need RevenueCat if I use Superwall?
Yes. Superwall only handles paywall presentation. For subscription lifecycle, receipt validation, purchases, status tracking, you’ll need RevenueCat or similar, meaning two separate SDKs, dashboards, and integration points.
How much does Adapty cost compared to Superwall?
Adapty: free up to $10K MTR, then 1% of tracked revenue.
Superwall: $0.20 per conversion after 250 free. At 10K monthly conversions, ~$2,000/month.
With Adapty, you pay based on revenue, not conversions, usually more cost-effective as you grow.
