The Problem with Base44 and Native Monetization
It's getting to the App Store at all.
- Adapty assumes you've already shipped a native iOS app and integrated their SDK.
- It assumes you have enough installs to run experiments (usually 1k+ trial starts per variant).
- It does not handle App Store submission, Apple Review pushback, StoreKit 2 setup, or the Apple Small Business Program.
The Wanilla Solution: Zero-Code Adapty Alternative
Wanilla solves the launch problem first. Wanilla builds your product into an iOS app with native features and prepares an honest App Store submission. Then we run your paywall and pricing iteration manually for you until you have the volume to justify a tool like Adapty.
- Native iOS binary with StoreKit 2 subscriptions, no SDK in your code.
- Submission materials prepared for you to submit from your own account, and help responding to App Review.
- Paywall design, copy, and price testing handled by our growth team.
- When you're ready, easy migration to Adapty (or RevenueCat) — entitlements stay in your backend.

Wanilla vs Adapty vs RevenueCat
| Wanilla | Adapty | RevenueCat | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Core job | Launch + grow your first iOS app | Subscription infrastructure | |
| Ships your app to App Store | Yes | No | No |
| SDK in your codebase | None | Required | Required |
| Best stage | Pre-launch → first $5k MRR | $50k+ MRR, optimising | Scaling with engineers |

Before migrating, make sure you're enrolled in the Apple Small Business Program — it cuts App Store commission from 30% to 15% for indie founders earning under $1M/year.
