    Cross-platform In App Billing Plugin for .NET

    Over the years I have created several apps that I am super proud of, and for the most part, I have always put them out for free onto the app stores. More recently I have been experimenting with different monetization strategies for the apps so users can unlock features or just leave a tip. For the longest time I kept things simple with a "non-consumable" one-time purchase. The strategy is straight forward, they either purchased the item or they didn't. Based on this information you would unlock the features in the app. My nifty InAppBilling .NET plugin for iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows comes in super handy and makes it just a few lines of code to implement this logic. Over the holiday break I decided to take things a step further and dip my toes into the world of subscriptions, and what I found left my code in a complete state of madness! Before I go into details on how I decided to implement subscriptions, I recommend listening to our recent Merge Conflict episode all about subscriptions!

    In-app purchases and subscriptions made easy. Support for iOS, watchOS, tvOS, macOS, and visionOS.

    Implementing in-app subscriptions can be extremely complicated and can get even more complicated when you throw in user accounts, third party integrations, and subscriptions on the web. After reading the testing blog on RevenueCat, I realized that it was an entire SaaS solution for in-app subscriptions and is genius.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
