If your app already runs on Adapty, turning on Refund Saver takes one click and uses data the SDK already collects. You also get paywalls, A/B tests and analytics from one vendor, and Adapty publishes case studies with clear refund rate drops.
You can also use both. Keep Adapty for paywalls, forward App Store notifications between the two services, and turn Refund Saver off so only RefundHalt answers.
