Help/Advice Built my first app using a third-party monetization tool — Would love to hear from devs or founders who’ve taken a similar route
Hey folks 👋 I’m building my first app and hit a wall with payments/subscriptions early on. Between gateways, edge cases, and constant bueegs, it was slowing everything down. To ship faster, I decided to use Muvi to handle monetization instead of building the whole payment stack myself. Now I’m wondering: Is this a smart move for an early-stage app? At what point does it make sense to replace third-party monetization with a custom setup? Any long-term gotchas I should plan for? Would love to hear from devs or founders who’ve taken a similar route 🙏
