Glassfy carved a niche with small and medium subscription apps by keeping costs at zero until $10,000 in monthly tracked revenue — after which it takes 1%. Tierux competes on a different axis: charge a flat $39/mo from day one (with no ceiling on that flat rate as you grow), add AI-agent store provisioning via MCP, and treat Android as a core platform rather than a feature checkbox. Here's the honest breakdown — including where Glassfy is ahead.
| Capability | Tierux | Glassfy |
|---|---|---|
| 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 / App Store verification | Yes, with limitations (Swift SDK + server verifier; less production-hardened than our Play path) | Yes |
| Server-side verification | Store-verified on our servers, zero-trust client | Yes |
| Pricing model | Flat $39/mo up to 1,000 subscribers | Free ≤ $10k MTR, then 1% |
| 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, SMB-focused |
Comparison reflects Tierux's shipped capabilities and Glassfy's publicly documented platform. We don't claim parity on maturity — Glassfy has been at this longer.
The Glassfy path works best for teams just validating their subscription model — the free tier is genuinely generous and lets you ship without upfront cost. Once you cross roughly 1,000 subscribers (where Tierux costs $39/mo), the calculus starts to shift: Glassfy's 1% overage on tracked revenue can outpace fixed pricing, and you still need to manually wire up store consoles that Tierux automates through its MCP agent.
You'd rather know your bill exactly every month — $39 flat, period — and have it stay flat while your subscriber count climbs; an MCP agent that provisions Google Cloud service accounts and store products in a single prompt replaces your console-switching routine; Android depth with a native Kotlin SDK is a non-negotiable (App Store support ships today too); and you want a platform that doesn't take 1% of revenue once you cross the $10k threshold.
A free tier that runs up to $10,000 MTR is the right on-ramp for your small subscription app, open-source transparency matters to your development philosophy, and you value a community-adopted tool with established SMB patterns and documentation.
