Qonversion Integration for Subscription Management
Struggling with yet another SDK? Subscription integration often turns into a headache: sandbox testing, receipt validation, handling Apple and Google errors, setting up push for trial reminders. We've faced this dozens of times and chose Qonversion — a platform that combines subscription management, analytics, and CRM in one SDK. With extensive experience, we've completed over 200 mobile projects involving subscription SDKs, and 8 out of 10 clients who switched to Qonversion cut their infrastructure costs in half.
Why Qonversion if RevenueCat and Adapty Exist?
Qonversion sets itself apart with built-in Automations — not just push triggered by events, but a full CRM engine. You can set up a chain: 3 days before trial ends — push reminder; on cancellation — in-app offer with 50% discount; after successful payment — welcome screen. With RevenueCat, you'd need to integrate Braze or OneSignal — extra work and cost. Additionally, Qonversion predicts user LTV based on behavioral patterns, helping optimize UAC campaigns.
How Does Qonversion Integration Improve Retention?
Subscription retention depends on timely communications. Automations let you react to events in real time: trial conversion, cancellation, refund, renewal. For example, on cancellation you can immediately show a win-back offer or send a push with a survey. Predictive LTV helps segment users: target high-predictive-LTV users with more expensive plans, offer discounts to those about to churn.
SDK Integration
We integrate Qonversion via Swift Package Manager or CocoaPods for iOS, Gradle for Android. Configuration is minimal:
// iOS let config = Qonversion.Configuration(projectKey: "xxxxx", launchMode: .subscriptionManagement) config.setEnvironment(.production) Qonversion.initWithConfig(config) // Purchase Qonversion.shared().purchase("premium_monthly") { entitlements, error in if let premium = entitlements["premium"], premium.isActive { self.unlockPremium() } } // Or async/await with iOS 15+ let entitlements = try await Qonversion.shared().purchase(id: "premium_monthly") // Android val config = Qonversion.Configuration.Builder(projectKey = "xxxxx") .launchMode(LaunchMode.SUBSCRIPTION_MANAGEMENT) .environment(Qonversion.Environment.PRODUCTION) .build() Qonversion.initWithConfig(config) // Purchase Qonversion.purchase("premium_monthly") { entitlements, error -> entitlements?.let { if (it["premium"]?.isActive == true) { unlockPremium() } } } The entitlements concept is the same as in RevenueCat and Adapty. Setup in the dashboard: create an entitlement → link products → in code only check the entitlement ID. This simplifies product reassignment without code changes.
Why Qonversion Beats RevenueCat + CRM?
For small teams, Automations inside Qonversion save integration time and the cost of an external CRM subscription. For example, RevenueCat + OneSignal costs $200–500/month at $10k revenue, while Qonversion is free at the same volume (up to $10k tracked revenue). In our experience, 8 out of 10 clients who moved to Qonversion halved their monthly subscription infrastructure costs.
Remote Config and Paywalls
Qonversion supports A/B testing of paywalls via Remote Config — similar to Adapty Paywall Builder but less visual: configuration is passed as JSON, rendering is done on the developer side. This gives flexibility: you can change text, colors, promotions without updating the app.
let config = try await Qonversion.shared().remoteConfig() let paywallVariant = config.payload["paywall_variant"] as? String // Choose the appropriate paywall variant from local templates Comparison: Qonversion, RevenueCat, Adapty

Example Remote Config JSON
{ "paywall_variant": "v2", "trial_duration": 7, "price_anchor": 9.99 } Work Process: From Request to Deployment
- Analytics — review current subscription model, products in App Store/Google Play, configure entitlements in Qonversion dashboard.
- SDK Integration — connect library, set up purchase flow, receipt validation, pass attribution (AppsFlyer/Adjust).
- Automations — design trigger chains: trial reminders, cancellation win-back, post-refund survey.
- Remote Config — set up paywall A/B tests, integrate with app code.
- Testing — full cycle in sandbox + production (purchases, cancellations, refunds, push).
- Deployment — release to App Store/Google Play, monitor for the first 48 hours.
What's Included
- Integration documentation (configs, sequence diagrams)
- Setup of all required SDKs (Qonversion, push, attribution)
- Creation and linking of entitlements to products
- Implementation of basic Automations (up to 5 scenarios)
- A/B test of one paywall via Remote Config
- Support for 30 days after delivery
Timeline and Cost
Standard integration takes between 2 and 5 business days depending on the complexity of Automations and number of products. Cost is calculated individually based on the scope of work — contact us for an accurate estimate. We have extensive experience with subscription SDKs (RevenueCat, Adapty, Qonversion) and over 200 completed mobile app projects.
