Nami stood out for its paywall CMS combined with ML-driven optimization — a genuinely innovative pairing for its time. Since its acquisition, however, public updates have slowed and the roadmap has gone quiet. Tierux steps into that gap with an AI-agent-native stack, active development, and flat pricing. Here's the honest breakdown.
| Capability | Tierux | Nami |
|---|---|---|
| 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 | Revenue-share (pre-acquisition) |
| Remote paywall config | Yes | CMS-focused |
| Win-back / cancellation offers | Google Play — yes; App Store — not yet | Limited — basic win-back tooling |
| ML paywall optimization | Not yet | Core feature (stalled) |
| Active development | Actively developed | Diminished public roadmap |
| Scale & traction | Pre-launch — we're honest about our stage | Proven, acquired |
Comparison reflects Tierux's shipped capabilities and Nami's publicly documented platform. Nami was acquired and its public roadmap has diminished; its ML paywall optimization was innovative for its time.
Nami's ML-driven paywall optimization was ahead of the curve — few tools at the time let you automatically tune paywall elements based on visitor behavior. If your team is currently on Nami and the paywall CMS still does what you need, migrating isn't urgent. But for new projects or teams weighing a move, an actively maintained platform avoids the risk of building on a codebase that may not see feature investment in the near term.
An active, publicly committed product roadmap matters to your team — you're not comfortable building on an acquired tool whose future direction is uncertain; MCP agent automation for store credentials and provisioning replaces time spent inside Google Play Console; a flat $39/mo subscription keeps costs predictable regardless of revenue growth; and you're Google Play-first, with App Store support shipping today too.
You're already on Nami and its paywall CMS workflow is working for you — but with a diminished public roadmap since acquisition, evaluate whether an actively maintained alternative with AI-agent automation better positions your billing infrastructure for the next few years.
