What is NocoDB?
NocoDB lets MCP clients connect by signing in and adds workflow run playback in 2026.10.0.
NocoDB ships a monthly release. In September MCP moved from the Claude connector directory to an account-wide agent surface. 2026.10.0 lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other MCP clients connect by signing in, with no token to copy and no more access than the user's own role. It also adds step-through playback and pause/resume/retry for workflow runs, button-triggered automations, workload views in Timeline, and renames Interfaces to classic apps under a new Apps menu.
What is RevenueCat?
Stretching from subscription infrastructure into hybrid subs+ads revenue tracking, with paywalls getting smarter.
RevenueCat is broadening from subscription-only to subscription-plus-ads with in-app ad revenue tracking now in public beta — apps using AdMob or AppLovin can send ad events through the SDK and see ad and sub revenue side by side. Paywalls have gained meaningful logic depth (Paywall Rules to show/hide components by intro-offer eligibility or custom variables) and the iOS/Android fallback paywall now auto-styles using the app icon's dominant color. Operational tooling has caught up: archived offerings/products/entitlements, OAuth token visibility and revocation, predicted-LTV winners in Experiments.

NocoDB
6.3ANALYTICS
NocoDB lets MCP clients connect by signing in and adds workflow run playback in 2026.10.0.
◆ Current state
NocoDB ships a monthly release. In September MCP moved from the Claude connector directory to an account-wide agent surface. 2026.10.0 lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other MCP clients connect by signing in, with no token to copy and no more access than the user's own role. It also adds step-through playback and pause/resume/retry for workflow runs, button-triggered automations, workload views in Timeline, and renames Interfaces to classic apps under a new Apps menu.
◆ Where it's heading
Agent access is now the product's spine: three releases in a row have widened what MCP clients can reach and how easily they connect, while workflows gain the observability expected of an automation tool. Renaming Interfaces to classic apps, plus a prompt box on the new project page when NocoAI is on, suggests a newer app layer is coming that the release doesn't describe yet.
◆ Prediction
Expect the non-classic Apps builder, likely prompt-driven via NocoAI, to be introduced in a coming release. The entries don't show its scope or plan tiering.
RevenueCat
0.0ANALYTICS
Stretching from subscription infrastructure into hybrid subs+ads revenue tracking, with paywalls getting smarter.
◆ Current state
RevenueCat is broadening from subscription-only to subscription-plus-ads with in-app ad revenue tracking now in public beta — apps using AdMob or AppLovin can send ad events through the SDK and see ad and sub revenue side by side. Paywalls have gained meaningful logic depth (Paywall Rules to show/hide components by intro-offer eligibility or custom variables) and the iOS/Android fallback paywall now auto-styles using the app icon's dominant color. Operational tooling has caught up: archived offerings/products/entitlements, OAuth token visibility and revocation, predicted-LTV winners in Experiments.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is moving from 'subscription billing infra' to 'mobile monetization platform.' Ad revenue tracking is the headline because it changes who RevenueCat is for — every freemium app with mixed monetization, not just sub-driven apps. Paywall Rules suggest the company is going deeper on the merchandising layer rather than ceding it to MMP-adjacent tools. The Experiments-side LTV predictions and locale-aware paywalls signal continued investment in the optimization story.
◆ Prediction
Expect the in-app ad revenue beta to GA with deeper SDK support for more ad networks, more sophisticated Paywall Rules conditions (likely user-segment and behavioral triggers), and tighter Experiments + ad-revenue correlation as customers compare hybrid monetization mixes.
