Apple's Retention Messaging is now live in App Store Connect ⚡️
→ Show subscribers a message (or an offer) when they try to cancel
We've spent the beta gathering data on what works with subscribers. Nov 10, we're sharing the results.

Should every retention message come with a discount?
In a Dipsea test, 50% off had a somewhat higher save rate (22.1% vs 18.8%) but less than half the revenue per customer ($1.24 vs $3.16).

OKAY OKAY OKAY, we'll host an 🚨 EMERGENCY LIVE WEBINAR:
Apparently, there's a lot of confusion around Apple's new Retention Messages
They're available to everyone in App Store Connect now, but what is in ASC is not the same thing that's available via the Retention Messaging API
So what's missing?
Should (and can) you still request access to the API?
How do you set up your basic Retention Messages today?
What did we learn from the world's biggest data set on the Retention Messages beta??! (not an exaggeration)
Next Tuesday, we'll host a live webinar with
@plahteenlahti, on of your favourite @RevenueCat developer advocates, and
Luigi, the latest member of RevenueCat's Customer Growth Advisory team (specialized in lifecycle messaging and CRM), who has worked closely with some of our biggest customers on Retention Messaging
Together, they'll:
Explain how to get started with Retention Messages in App Store Connect
Share how and where the API is still useful (and how to request access)
Dig into MOUNTAINS of data from the beta
Share some of the best, most successful Retention Messaging tactics we've encountered, and
Answer all your questions
See you there!

Meet the 20 first-place apps from RevenueCat’s Shipaton 2026 [Sponsored] 9to5mac.com/2026/11/04/meet-…
Christmas came (very) early this year!
IT’S LIVE!
You can now configure Retention Messages directly in App Store Connect
No more closed beta, no need to register, no need to build on Apple’s Retention Messaging API, and no need to use @RevenueCat’s Retention Messaging feature
You probably still want to, though:
The thing that’s available to everyone *right now* is an image and text, shown to subscribers as they’re about to cancel, as well as offers per subscription <- This will increase retention. Guaranteed
But if you want to customize what message you show to who, want to set up retention offers (discounts, plan switches, etc) for specific segments of users, and increase retention EVEN FURTHER,
You still need to request access to the API, and our Retention Messaging feature will not only allow you to configure those messages and offers, but also allow you to experiment with the single best retention mechanic Apple has ever provider developers with
So,
1. Go set up your retention messaging in App Store Connect *now*
2. Request access to the API
3. Get to experimenting and improving retention via RevenueCat

Help us find this couple who got engaged at #Shipaton Demo Day in Times Square! 💍

The Black Friday audience you might be overlooking? Free users who’ve had your app for months. 👀
We analyzed nearly 5,000 subscription apps. At apps with promotions, about half the Black Friday growth in new paying customers came from people who installed 3+ months earlier.
Full study: revenuecat.com/blog/growth/h…
A few things worth testing:
🏷️ An intro offer for long-time free users
🏷️ A paywall that shows the premium features they keep running into
🏷️ Separate offers for new users, existing free users, and lapsed subscribers
Why it matters:
In our data, apps with Black Friday promos get 20% more new paying customers per day than in Sept–Oct. Even after the discount, each sale day brings in 12% more revenue over the following six months.
