We are back with another HackerNoon Company of the Week feature!

Every week, we spotlight a standout business from our Tech Company Database, which ranks companies ranging from S&P 500 giants to emerging startups making their mark on the internet.

This week, we’re pleased to feature RevenueCat, the platform helping some of the world’s top apps manage purchases, understand customers, and grow revenue across iOS, Android, and the web.

RevenueCat has supported more than 128,000 apps, processes over 3 billion API requests daily, and has handled more than $16 billion in revenue. Its customers range from independent developers to teams behind apps such as VSCO, Photoroom, and ChatGPT.

Want your company featured here? Thousands of technologists read HackerNoon every week.

RevenueCat Turns Subscription Headaches Into Infrastructure

Getting an app into an app store is hard enough. Getting paid inside one introduces a second product hiding beneath the first.

Developers must contend with different store systems, receipt validation, subscription states, renewals, refunds, entitlements, pricing experiments, and the platform changes Apple and Google inevitably make along the way. None of that is the feature users downloaded the app for, but all of it has to work.

RevenueCat turns much of that work into infrastructure.

Its cross-platform backend automates purchase setup and receipt validation across StoreKit, Google Play, smart TV, and the web, giving app teams one reliable view of their customers and revenue.

Teams can then build and update paywalls, test pricing and packaging, and track subscription performance without building a separate system for every platform.

RevenueCat 🤝 HackerNoon: The Shipaton Writing Contest

RevenueCat’s commitment to getting more apps over the line is also the idea behind Shipaton 2026, its global hackathon for mobile app builders, offering more than $1,000,000 in prizes to the cream of the crop.

As Shipaton’s official Build in Public partner, HackerNoon is extending that opportunity through the #Shipaton Writing Contest. Participants can compete for an additional $2,500 by documenting their work, with the writing prizes awarded separately from Shipaton’s official awards.

From August 1 through September 30, builders can publish app introductions, build logs, technical deep dives, RevenueCat integrations, product pivots, growth experiments, and launch stories. There is no need to wait until the app is finished.

Participants are, in fact, encouraged to publish multiple stages of their journeys throughout the contest, provided each eligible submission carries the #shipaton tag.

Host a Blogging Contest on HackerNoon

HackerNoon blogging contests help technology companies turn short-term campaigns into sustained conversations. They invite developers, customers, and subject-matter experts to explore your technology, share their experiences, and publish useful stories tied to your brand.

Each entry becomes an SEO-indexed resource that remains discoverable long after the contest ends, extending the reach and value of your campaign.

Whether you're an agency, a startup, or an established tech brand, we'll help you find the best way to get your story in front of the right audience.
