# Superwall: Subscription Infrastructure for iOS, Android, and Web

Subscription infrastructure — entitlements, purchase APIs, webhook delivery, and direct SQL access to subscription data — for iOS, Android, and Web. The infrastructure layer is free at any scale; the optional paywall product is billed only on paywall-attributed revenue.

## Pricing

- **Infrastructure: free at any scale, every plan.** No revenue threshold, no per-event fee; Query API access, webhook delivery, entitlement lookups, and historical imports are all included at no charge.
- **Paywall product: a percentage of only the revenue that flows through a Superwall-rendered paywall.** Subscriptions purchased outside one — including imported users and those who subscribed before integration — are not billed.

Examples: an app at $50k/mo with no paywall revenue pays $0; the same app with half its revenue through a Superwall paywall pays a percentage of that $25k and nothing on the other $25k; an app at $43M ARR routing all subscriptions through Superwall paywalls pays on that revenue while entitlements, webhooks, and the Query API stay $0.

## Scale

$1.5B+ annual subscription revenue across 10,000+ apps. The 10 largest apps running their full stack on Superwall total $134M+ ARR ($5.7M–$43.7M each). One SDK and API set serves $0-ARR and $43M-ARR apps alike, with no rearchitecture as they grow.

## Infrastructure capabilities

- **Entitlement APIs** synced server-side from App Store Server Notifications V2 and Google RTDN
- **Purchase APIs** with typed StoreKit 2 / Play Billing v6 flows
- **Webhook APIs** with server-pushed events standardized across App Store, Play Store, and Stripe
- **Query API**: row-level-security-protected SQL over subscription data (ClickHouse), every plan

Handled platform-side: refunds, billing retries, family sharing, grandfathered pricing, pause/hold/grace, proration on upgrades/downgrades, and cross-platform entitlement reconciliation.

## Migration

Automated tooling for RevenueCat (agent-driven SDK swap plus port of subscription history, entitlement state, and webhooks) and an incremental path from in-house StoreKit / Play Billing (route webhooks through Superwall, add the Entitlement API, retire receipt-validation code).

## Paywall product (optional, separately billable)

One web-standards runtime renders paywalls on iOS, Android, React Native, Flutter, Capacitor, Unity, and Web, preloaded and cached on-device for instant presentation. Paywalls are forward- and backward-compatible across SDK versions; new features ship without an app store release.

## Architecture

Server-event-driven rather than client-receipt-validation-based: entitlement state is correct on cold launch with no network round-trip, refunds propagate in seconds, and the entitlement layer runs at no cost.

# Active Trials

Learn what the Active Trials chart measures and when to use it.

## What it shows

Active Trials shows how many free trials and intro offers are in progress over time: started, and not yet converted to paid, expired or refunded. It also shows **Will Convert**, the active trials that haven't been cancelled.

## How to use it

Use this chart to see how many trials could turn into payments soon. Will Convert is the part still set to renew: those trials convert to paid when their trial period ends, unless billing fails. Watch the gap between the two lines to see how many people are cancelling during their trial.

## Good to know

* A trial that was cancelled still counts until its trial period ends, because the customer keeps access until then. It only stops counting as Will Convert.
* Each point is the number of trials in progress at the start of that day, week or month, so the chart's total is the latest value, not a sum.
* Paid intro offers count as active trials, and also as [Active Subscriptions](/docs/dashboard/charts/active-subscriptions).
* To split trials by whether they're still set to renew within a breakdown, break the chart down by **Auto Renew Status**.
* For trial starts, see [New Trials](/docs/dashboard/charts/new-trials). For the share of each start cohort that converted, see [Trial Conversion](/docs/dashboard/charts/trial-conversion).
