Adapty vs SolidInvoice
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Adapty and SolidInvoice — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Adapty vs SolidInvoice: at a glance
What is Adapty?
Adapty is handing paywall construction to coding agents and adding a credits economy underneath
Adapty's Flow & Paywall Builder is now the centre of the product, and August pointed a coding agent at it: a flow-generator skill lets Claude Code, Codex or Copilot CLI read a flow config through the CLI, rewrite it and preview the result. Alongside that, virtual currencies gave the platform a credits primitive, and Refund Saver reached Google Play as chargebacks there started costing developers real money.
What is SolidInvoice?
SolidInvoice finally shipped the 3.0 it spent a year staging in alphas and betas.
After more than twelve months of alpha and beta releases, SolidInvoice 3.0 landed in June with the accumulated work of that cycle: email verification, Google OAuth, two-factor authentication, real user profiles, flat-rate tax support and a Meilisearch-backed search layer. Underneath it, the project moved onto a shared platform config and pulled trial and SaaS logic into an external bundle. The 2.3 line ran in parallel the whole time, absorbing security backports.

◆ Current state
Adapty's Flow & Paywall Builder is now the centre of the product, and August pointed a coding agent at it: a flow-generator skill lets Claude Code, Codex or Copilot CLI read a flow config through the CLI, rewrite it and preview the result. Alongside that, virtual currencies gave the platform a credits primitive, and Refund Saver reached Google Play as chargebacks there started costing developers real money.
◆ Where it's heading
Two directions are running together. Monetization is broadening past subscriptions into balances and consumables, and authoring is moving from the dashboard toward the terminal and the agent. The one-click legacy paywall migration signals the old builder is being retired rather than maintained.
◆ Prediction
Expect the agent skill to extend from flows into the rest of the CLI surface — products, placements, campaigns — so a whole monetization setup can be generated and reviewed as config.
SolidInvoice
0.0FINANCE
SolidInvoice finally shipped the 3.0 it spent a year staging in alphas and betas.
◆ Current state
After more than twelve months of alpha and beta releases, SolidInvoice 3.0 landed in June with the accumulated work of that cycle: email verification, Google OAuth, two-factor authentication, real user profiles, flat-rate tax support and a Meilisearch-backed search layer. Underneath it, the project moved onto a shared platform config and pulled trial and SaaS logic into an external bundle. The 2.3 line ran in parallel the whole time, absorbing security backports.
◆ Where it's heading
Two threads run through this changelog. The visible one is identity and account management catching up to what users expect from a billing app — signup verification, OAuth, 2FA, self-serve company deletion. The less visible one is the codebase being restructured around reusable solidworx platform components with Sentry and Prometheus instrumentation, which is the shape of a project preparing to run itself as a hosted service rather than only as a download.
◆ Prediction
With 3.0 out and 3.0.1 already repairing the upgrade migration path, the near-term work is likely more 3.0.x stabilization for people coming off 2.3 rather than new features.
