Apphud is a solid iOS-first choice — open-source SDKs and years of receipt-validation maturity. The gap shows when Android is your primary platform: Apphud treats it as secondary, while Tierux was built Google Play-first, with a native Kotlin SDK and deep Play Billing integration, plus AI-agent setup and flat pricing.
| Capability | Tierux | Apphud |
|---|---|---|
| Agent-run store setup | Google Cloud service account + APIs automated; Apple = Bundle ID + one manual notification-URL step | Manual setup |
| Android-native depth | Core focus | Supported, iOS-first |
| iOS / App Store verification | Yes, with limitations (Swift SDK + server verifier; less production-hardened than our Play path) | Yes, mature |
| Server-side verification | Store-verified on our servers, zero-trust client | Yes |
| Pricing model | Flat $39/mo up to 1,000 subscribers | Revenue-share based |
| Remote paywall config | Yes | Yes |
| Win-back / cancellation offers | Google Play — yes; App Store — not yet | Yes |
| Open-source SDKs | Android + iOS source available | Open-source SDKs |
| Paywall A/B testing & experiments | Not yet | Yes |
| Scale & traction | Pre-launch — we're honest about our stage | Proven |
Comparison reflects Tierux's shipped capabilities and Apphud's publicly documented platform. We don't claim parity on iOS maturity — Apphud has been at this longer.
Android is your primary platform and you want Play Billing treated as the main path, not the port; you'd rather delegate store provisioning to an MCP agent than click through consoles; you're Google Play-first, with App Store support shipping today too; and flat $39/mo pricing fits better than a revenue share.
You're predominantly an iOS shop, open-source SDKs give you confidence in verification integrity, and years of proven App Store receipt-validation maturity matter more than Android depth or agent automation.
