Apphud

Refund add-on, Apple only

Overview

The short answer

Refund Sensor

Both stores, flat monthly pricing, no commission on what it saves.

It answers Apple's CONSUMPTION_REQUEST and Google Play chargeback reviews, deciding each case on real signals inside the store's window, all for a flat monthly fee with no commission and no per-refund cut.

Apphud

Apple only, and takes a 7% cut of the refunds it saves.

Apphud answers Apple refund requests through its Win Back Refunds add-on, which you toggle on or off. The add-on is Apple only and charges a 7% commission on the value of the refunds Apple declines.

The difference

How Refund Sensor compares

Where Apphud stops short

  • Apple only; the add-on does not cover Google Play chargebacks.
  • Charges a 7% commission on refunds saved, so the cost grows with what it recovers.
  • It is an add-on on the Apphud platform, not a standalone refund tool.

Why Refund Sensor

  • Defends Google Play chargeback reviews as well as Apple refunds.
  • Decides per case on real transaction and consumption signals, not one selected preference.
  • Flat pricing with no percentage cut, predictable as the value recovered grows.
  • A cross-store ledger, and it adds to any setup with no migration.
