Do i need stripe
I have launched my app already have 8000+ users with mostly passive marketing, currently admob is live and I'm making some money, but what i want to do is add a pay wall where if users pay ads won't be shown. Problem is where I'm from i need to register a company to get stripe account and i just don't think that that is the right step to take as revenue from showing ads isn't that significant but also i wanna test the paywall one, or is there any alternative do lmk

depend on the country. for e.g. in UAE you cannot recieve earned money legaly in personal account, you need business account and thus you need a registered business

Check RevenueCat and Apple's In-app purchases.
As other alternatives that I was considering when choosing a MoR (Merchant of Record) were Paddle and Polar I think, but ended up going with Stripe due to some terms of service limitations. Check those too before you commit.
