How to Make Money From Your App: Subscriptions, In-App Purchases, and Payments
Charge for your Vibecode app: RevenueCat for subscriptions and in-app purchases in iPhone apps, Stripe for web app payments. Which to use for each project type and what Apple requires.
Charge for a mobile app with Apple’s in-app purchase system, which Vibecode sets up through RevenueCat, and charge on the web with Stripe. Apple requires in-app purchase for digital content, features, and subscriptions sold inside an iPhone app (guideline 3.1.1). Apps on the US App Store may also link to a web checkout such as Stripe; in other countries that needs an Apple entitlement, offered only in some of them (3.1.1(a)). Physical goods and real-world services always use other payment methods.
