What Apphud does
Apphud lets developers set up cross-platform in-app purchases with no server code and adds server-side receipt verification, remote paywalls, A/B experiments, revenue analytics and 20+ integrations. It supports iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS and Android through an open-source SDK. Pricing is free up to $10,000 in monthly tracked revenue, then Pro at $49/mo and Expert at $59/mo, with custom Enterprise plans.
What Apphud doesn’t do
Apphud does not track affiliate referrals, calculate affiliate commissions, or run affiliate payouts or a marketplace. Its own competitive framing is against other subscription-infrastructure tools, not affiliate platforms — so it sits neatly beneath one rather than competing.
How they work together
Insert Affiliate lists Apphud as a supported purchase-verification source. Using Apphud’s Customers API, verified purchase events flow into Insert Affiliate, which attributes each one to the right affiliate and pays the commission. Integration paths are documented for iOS and Unity.
In plain terms: Apphud runs and verifies the purchase; Insert Affiliate reads it and rewards the affiliate who drove it.
Bottom line
Apphud and Insert Affiliate are complementary. Apphud is a strong subscription backend with verification, paywalls and experiments; Insert Affiliate is the affiliate layer that turns those verified purchases into tracked, paid commissions. If you run affiliates, use both.
