ZeroSettle

ZeroSettle is a Y Combinator-backed subscription revenue platform that lets iOS, Android, Flutter, and React Native app developers offer direct web billing as an alternative to App Store and Google Play in-app purchase — the pitch is "keep 85% of your revenue, not 70%." As Merchant of Record (on Stripe Connect, or BYOS), it handles web checkout, entitlements, subscription lifecycle, StoreKit transaction syncing, retention cancel flows, upgrade/migration offers, and compliance external-purchase reporting. The ZeroSettle IAP API (REST/JSON, X-ZeroSettle-Key auth) powers all of its client SDKs, with a free tier plus a $29/month Pro plan.

ZeroSettle publishes 12 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Cancel Flow API, Checkout API, Entitlements API, and 9 more. Tagged areas include Company, Payments, In-App Purchase, Subscription, and Merchant of Record.

ZeroSettle’s developer surface includes authentication, changelog, sandbox, documentation, API reference, quickstart, signup flow, and 20 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Payments regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/zerosettle: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you? Prioritized profiling — $2,500 →
