At ARR, you're paying more than $63K every month to app stores — over $750K a year that should be funding your growth.

Conservative estimate using a flat 15% store fee.

Opportunity

Turn trapped margin into growth

Web subscriptions move margin and subscriber relationships back onto rails you control.

Recover margin

Add 7–25 points of margin on every subscriber moved.

Free up cash flow

Replace 30–60 day app-store settlement with T+2 Stripe payouts.

Own the relationship

Direct subscriber billing — your data, your contact, your retention.

Web subscriptions aren't experimental anymore

Spotify, Netflix, and a growing number of mobile apps already run their subscriptions on the web. The constraint is no longer whether consumers will buy there, it's whether your app is set up to meet them.

Introducing Recurr

The app-to-web subscription platform

Purpose-built for mobile apps moving subscriptions to web — a familiar subscriber UX, on modern payment + identity rails.

Web billing, outside the app

Web payments and communication happen through direct channels, not inside the app. Built within store policies, not subject to store fees.

  • Apple guideline 3.1.3(b) — external account management.
  • Google Play's external billing policy.
  • No store fees on web-billed subscriptions.

What subscribers see

Existing subscribers are offered migration via email. New subscribers convert on the web before install.

Deployment

Managed subscriber migration

Recurr operates the migration end-to-end through our Controlled Migration Framework. Your team approves the messaging; the platform handles the rest.

  1. Audit

    Week 1

    Quantify fee exposure, cohort quality, and recoverable margin on your specific numbers.

  2. Pilot

    Weeks 2–3

    Controlled wave on a small, low-risk cohort, matched against an IAP holdout.

  3. Migration

    Weeks 4–12

    Wave-by-wave migration across your base. Pause or roll back at any wave.

  4. Manage

    Ongoing

    Monitor migrated subscribers — billing, retention, reporting.

Pilot

From $10,000

2 weeks

Migration on a small, low-risk cohort — validates the recovery and operational fit before any wider rollout.

Full migration

Scoped per app

8 weeks

Wave-by-wave migration across your subscriber base — operated end-to-end by Recurr, gated by your pilot results.

Pilot fee credited against migration. No commitment to scale if the data does not clear.

Migration projects typically cost less than one month of your current store fees.

Economics

A structural change to your unit economics

Two effects compound at migration: store fees come down for the lifetime of every migrated subscriber, and a one-time cash-flow release lands as store settlement windows unwind.
