Attribution
Know which creator drove the subscription
Creator codes are matched to RevenueCat subscription events so commissions are tied to actual revenue.
Subscription referral engine
Creator referrals,validated before payout.
For subscription apps: GrowthCat tracks creator codes with RevenueCat, waits out refunds, and pays creators with Stripe. Ads are available as an optional second channel once you want to monetize or buy in-app attention.

Why it works
Built for subscription referrals.
Most referral tools stop at links. GrowthCat adds the attribution, validation, and payout layer app teams need before creator programs can scale.
Validation
Hold payouts until revenue is real
Refund and cancellation windows clear before a conversion becomes payable.
Payouts
Choose how creators get paid
Record external payments for free or pay through GrowthCat for a 3% platform fee + Stripe fees.
Contracts
Set campaign terms before promotion
Commission, product, discount, and contract terms are agreed before codes go live.
Referral system diagram
How the loop works.
Install the SDK, issue codes, validate conversions, and pay creators once the revenue clears.
01
Connect your app
Install the SDK, add your GrowthCat key, and connect RevenueCat so redemption and attribution can run inside your app.
02
Launch creator campaigns
Invite influencers, assign referral codes, and publish campaign terms with pricing and commission rules.
03
Track purchases
Every redeem, conversion, and subscription event is tied back to the creator who actually drove it.
04
Validate before payout
GrowthCat keeps conversions pending through the review window, then marks validated revenue for payout handling.
05
Choose a payout method
Record an external transfer without Stripe, or use GrowthCat payments when both sides are ready.
Developer path
Add the SDK, initialize your GrowthCat key, and let the app handle referral code validation and redemption.
Feedback boards
Collect bugs, ideas, and feature requests inside GrowthCat.
Add a WishKit-style board to any app without running another product. Users submit requests from a public page or SDK, vote on what matters, and owners review everything from the same GrowthCat dashboard.
Public wish list
Give each app a hosted board where users can submit ideas, bugs, questions, and product feedback.
Voting built in
Users can vote once per item so the board shows which requests have real demand.
Review workflow
Move feedback through New, Accepted, In Progress, Done, and Rejected from the owner dashboard.

Pricing
Pricing that fits the operational layer.

Self-promotion ads are free owner-created campaigns. Marketplace campaigns are paid packages funded through Stripe before delivery.
App owners can create unlimited manual ad slots, and advertisers can create unlimited marketplace campaigns. Plan allowances apply to self-promotion impressions only.

GrowthCat FAQ for app owners and creator programs
GrowthCat helps app teams run influencer and creator referral programs with subscription attribution, conversion validation, and Stripe payout operations. This creates a reliable system for creator-driven growth instead of code-only tracking.
What is referral attribution for subscription apps?
Referral attribution links each subscription purchase or renewal to the creator or referral code that influenced it. GrowthCat records this using referral codes and RevenueCat subscription events.
How does GrowthCat reduce payout risk for creator commissions?
GrowthCat applies a validation window before payout eligibility. Refund and cancellation activity can clear first, which helps owners avoid overpaying commission on revenue that does not stay active.
Where do Ads fit in GrowthCat?
Referral codes are the main GrowthCat workflow. Ads are a secondary growth channel for teams that also want to sell in-app inventory, cross-promote their own apps, or buy placements in other GrowthCat apps.
What changes between Referral features and Ads features?
Referral features cover app count, active creator codes, unlimited referral tracking, and payout choices. Ads features cover self-promotion impressions, sponsor capacity, and plan-based marketplace fees.
