The best RefundCat alternatives in 2026
RefundCat answers Apple refund requests automatically, and it does that well. Teams look for an alternative when they also sell on Google Play, want more evidence in each answer, or outgrow the $1,000 monthly cap on the entry plan.
The short answer
RefundHalt is the closest RefundCat alternative for apps on both stores. It answers App Store refund requests and Google Play chargeback reviews with no SDK, sends the customer's real usage, and starts at $29.99 a month billed yearly with no cap on refund value. If your purchases already run on a subscription platform, RevenueCat, Adapty and Apphud now offer refund handling inside their platforms.

Why teams look for a RefundCat alternative
- RefundCat works only for apps distributed through the App Store. Since August 3, 2026, developers pay for lost Google Play chargebacks, so Android revenue needs protection too.
- RefundCat builds answers from App Store transaction history and sends unknown where it has no data. Some teams want the customer's real usage in the answer.
- The $69.99 entry plan handles up to $1,000 in refund requests a month. Unlimited handling costs $99.99 a month.
- RefundCat chooses the strategy. Some teams want their own rules, such as granting small goodwill cases and contesting heavy users.
