The recovery isn’t the gross store fee — it’s the delta between the gross store fee and web-billing’s all-in cost. This page does the math in plain terms.

What web billing actually costs

Web billing isn’t free. The full cost has two parts:
  • Recurr platform fee — 2% on web-billed revenue (Year 2+). In the migration year, +3% migration success fee on top, for 5% all-in on the platform side.
  • Stripe processing — standard rates pass through. Roughly 3% all-in on a typical card mix in the US, including the per-transaction flat fee.
StageRecurrStripeAll-in
Migration year (Y1)5%~3%~8%
Year 2+ ongoing2%~3%~5%
These are the figures the audit uses. They assume standard card processing. Apps with higher monthly mix, lower ticket sizes, more international cards, or local payment-method complexity can see a different payment-cost line.

The recovery math

For each migrated dollar, recovery = (store fee %) − (web all-in %).

iOS Year 1 (30%)8%22 cents5%25 cents
iOS Year 2+ (15%)8%7 cents5%10 cents
Google Play (15%)8%7 cents5%10 cents
The “Y1” column shows the migration-year delta (recovery is permanent for as long as the subscriber stays subscribed; Y1 includes the migration success fee). The “Y2+” column shows the ongoing steady-state delta.

Year-one recovery, on your numbers

The audit puts these per-dollar deltas through your specific blended fee rate, baseline migration percentage (55% of contactable subscribers), and ARR. A representative app at $5M ARR with a 22% blended rate sees:
  • Year-one recovery: ~$385K
  • Steady-state ongoing recovery: ~$470K/year
  • 3-year cumulative: ~$1.3M
Your numbers will scale with ARR and your specific fee mix. The audit shows ranges across conservative / baseline / optimistic migration scenarios. Run the 60-second audit → For the full public-audit baseline, see model assumptions.

What’s not captured here

The recovery math above is just the fee delta. There’s a separate one-time benefit during migration that doesn’t show up in the steady-state figure: the cash-flow injection from the store-to-Stripe settlement window. That’s the next page. The cash-flow injection →
