Free Tier Value
This free tier gives access to the full product until an app reaches $2,500 in monthly tracked revenue, and RevenueCat then charges 1% above that point. At the threshold, that works out to about $25 per month of value, which is the practical cost a buyer would compare against the paid usage model. It also appears to include nearly all core features, so the feature set is very close to the paid experience within the free allowance.
