Case Study: Widgetsmith scales to #1 in the App Store with RevenueCat

How RevenueCat supported WidgetSmith's quick rise to the top

Widgetsmith, founded by indie developer David Smith, needed a way to add subscriptions to its iOS app without spending weeks building and maintaining Apple in-app purchase infrastructure itself. After Widgetsmith unexpectedly surged to the top of the App Store and started attracting hundreds of new users per second, David needed a scalable subscription solution that could handle massive, rapid growth.

RevenueCat provided the mobile app subscription platform that powered Widgetsmith’s subscriptions seamlessly at scale. As the app accumulated tens of millions of downloads and stayed in the App Store Top 20, RevenueCat handled the traffic without downtime or payment issues, helping Widgetsmith capture subscription revenue with no customer complaints and giving David peace of mind while saving weeks of setup effort.
