Refunds leak differently on each store.
Apple and Google Play each let unfair refunds slip through in their own way. Refund Sensor covers both.
The 12-hour window you keep missing
When a customer asks for a refund, Apple sends a CONSUMPTION_REQUEST and gives you a short window to respond. Ignore it and the refund is usually approved. Most developers never even see the notification.
Chargebacks decided without your input
Google Play only asks for your input on one kind of refund: a chargeback under review, and it gives you about 24 hours to answer. Every other refund and voided purchase happens in the background, so you find out once the money and the entitlement are already gone.

Every refund window, closed for you.
Refund Sensor listens on both stores and files the answer each one expects, with a documented reason, before the window closes.
- Apple App StoreEvery consumption request answered on time, with the right reason attached.
- Google PlayEvery chargeback review answered inside the 24-hour window, automatically.
Every hour spent on refunds is an hour off your roadmap. That is why Refund Sensor exists.
Save the timeFrom connect to defend in five minutes.
Connect your store account, finish one step in your store console, and Refund Sensor starts defending.
Bring the keys you already have.
For iOS, add your App Store Connect API key. For Android, invite our managed service account or upload your own key. We verify it, encrypt it, and list the apps you can defend so you just tick the ones you want. No SDK, no code changes, no app resubmission.

Paste two values in the store console.
For Apple, paste the Server Notifications URL we generate into App Store Connect. For Google, invite our service-account email in Play Console and paste the RTDN topic name from your dashboard. We already created the topic and wired its plumbing, so the test notification succeeds instantly.
App Store ConnectPlay ConsoleEvery refund request answered, in time.
When a store asks whether a refund is warranted, it does not wait long. Apple gives you 12 hours, Google gives you 24. Refund Sensor responds inside both windows, every time, and tracks the outcome so you can see exactly what you kept.

Apple and Google Play in one place
Most refund tools only cover Apple. Refund Sensor answers refunds on both the App Store and Google Play, so you don't need two tools or two setups.
App StoreConnectedGoogle PlayConnectedOne refund, one clear story
Apple can send five or six updates for a single refund. We group them into one simple timeline you can read at a glance, so nothing gets lost in the noise.

Know exactly why customers ask for refunds
The App Store tells you the reason behind every refund request. We turn that into a clear breakdown per app, so you can fix the real problem instead of guessing.

The little details worth knowing.
A look under the hood, in plain language.
Refund Sensor automatically responds to Apple refund requests and Google Play chargebacks for you. The moment Apple sends a CONSUMPTION_REQUEST or Google flags a chargeback, it gathers the purchase and consumption evidence and submits a data-backed response through the store's own API, no manual work, no missed deadlines.
If you don't respond inside the store's window, the platform decides with zero input from you, and the default leans toward the customer. Every ignored request is money you hand back silently. Refund Sensor makes sure you never miss that window.
Yes. Most developers never measure it, because these losses are deducted quietly from your payouts. Refund Sensor surfaces exactly how many refund and chargeback requests you're receiving and how many are contestable.
Apple and Google both give developers an official channel to respond to Apple's CONSUMPTION_REQUEST notification and Google's chargeback-response API. Refund Sensor uses only these sanctioned mechanisms; it doesn't bypass or trick anything.
No. Responding to a CONSUMPTION_REQUEST is exactly what Apple built the notification for, you're following their intended workflow, not gaming it. Refund Sensor submits factual purchase data, which is precisely what the stores ask you to provide.
Be cautious of any tool that promises that, because the platform always makes the final call. What Refund Sensor guarantees is that every eligible request gets a fast, evidence-backed response, which is what tips borderline cases your way and stops the easy, avoidable losses.
It pulls purchase and consumption signals from your store account and, optionally, your own app usage data, then formats them into the exact response Apple and Google expect.
No. Refund Sensor connects at the store and server level, so there's no SDK to install and no app update to ship. You can go live without touching your codebase.
Even with no SDK, Refund Sensor uses the transaction and consumption data the stores already hold, which covers the signals Apple and Google weigh most heavily. Adding your own usage data sharpens the response further, but it's optional, not required.
Apple App Store refund requests are fully supported today. Google Play chargeback automation goes live August 3 via Google's official review-refund API, so you're covered on both the refund and the chargeback side.
In short, developers now get a real, time-sensitive window to contest chargebacks with evidence, and, like Apple's refund window, it's easy to miss. Refund Sensor is built to handle it automatically from day one.
By default, Refund Sensor works from store-held transaction data, which doesn't require new consent.
Yes. Credentials are encrypted and used only to communicate with the store APIs on your behalf. A full legal suite, Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, DPA, Refund and Cookie policies, are already in place.
You could respond by hand, but the windows are tight and volume compounds, miss one and you lose by default. Building it yourself means owning the store-API integrations, notification handling, and response logic, and maintaining all of it as Apple and Google keep changing the rules. Refund Sensor is that system, kept current for you.
Apple refund automation is available now; Google Play chargeback automation goes live August 3.
