Prompt
what's a good payment api for mobile app subscriptions?
Latest observation
A good payment API for mobile app subscriptions depends on whether you mean App Store / Google Play subscriptions or subscriptions billed outside the app.
If you sell digital subscriptions in the app
Use the platform billing APIs:
- Apple StoreKit / App Store In-App Purchases
- Google Play Billing
These are the standard and usually required for digital goods sold inside iOS/Android apps.
If you want a unified subscription management layer
Good options are:
- RevenueCat — very popular for mobile subscriptions; handles Apple/Google billing, receipt validation, entitlement management, analytics, and cross-platform support.
- Adapty — similar category, strong for subscription infrastructure and paywalls.
- Qonversion — another subscription management platform with analytics and attribution.
If you mean subscriptions on a website or for physical services
Good general payment APIs:
- Stripe Billing — excellent for recurring payments, strong API, great docs.
- Braintree — solid alternative, especially if you need PayPal.
- Paddle — useful for SaaS/digital products, handles taxes/VAT in many cases.
Quick recommendation
- iOS/Android digital subscriptions: RevenueCat + StoreKit/Google Play Billing
- Web or SaaS subscriptions: Stripe Billing
- Need PayPal too: Braintree
- Need tax handling for digital products: Paddle
If you tell me:
- iOS, Android, or both
- digital content vs physical/service subscription
- whether you need web checkout too
…I can recommend the best stack more precisely.

Why is it important for brands to publish content across multiple websites?
Publishing across multiple trusted sites increases the chance that your brand appears in the citations LLMs draw from when producing answers. Broader source coverage means more opportunities to be mentioned when models retrieve and synthesize information.
