Bottom line

RevenueCat solves mobile IAP — a different problem than metering API or platform usage. Most Kribana customers use both, for different surfaces.

Why teams switch from RevenueCat
  • ✕Solves in-app purchase entitlements, not general-purpose usage metering
  • ✕No invoicing or finance ledger for anything outside store transactions
  • ✕Most teams still need a separate system for API or platform billing
How the switch works

02Mirror pricing & validateRecreate your current plans in the dashboard and run a full billing cycle side-by-side to confirm invoices match.
03Cut overSwitch billing at the start of the next cycle. Historical usage and invoices carry over into the portal.
Questions about switching

Will my historical usage data carry over from RevenueCat?

Yes — we import historical usage and invoice history during onboarding, so your ledger and customer portal have continuity from day one.

Do I need to switch payment processors to move off RevenueCat?

No. Kribana is processor-neutral — keep Stripe, Razorpay, Adyen or Braintree, or run more than one at once.

What happens if I'm still under contract with RevenueCat?

Most teams run Kribana in parallel until the existing contract lapses, then cut over billing at the start of a cycle with no gap in invoicing.

How long does switching from RevenueCat actually take?

Most teams go live in one to two weeks: connect your event stream, mirror your current pricing, validate a billing cycle side-by-side, then cut over.
