Pulse: Paddle Revenue is a mobile dashboard for monitoring Paddle-based sales, transactions, and custom metadata across multiple accounts on iOS.
The App DNA
What makes this app unique?
The app removes the friction of manual spreadsheet tracking by providing an on-device, secure view of revenue KPIs that does not expose API keys to third-party servers.
For Developers and business owners using Paddle as their merchant of record who require mobile-native revenue monitoring.
What does it look like?
Key features
Aggregates revenue metrics and transaction data across multiple Paddle accounts into a single view.
Stores read-only API keys in the iOS Keychain and performs all data syncing locally.
Filters and breaks down revenue by custom transaction metadata like A/B variants or plans.
How much does it cost?
Monetization relies on a one-time purchase, which lacks the recurring revenue stream typical of SaaS-adjacent financial tools.
Velocity
Maintenance developmentnew contentUX improvementsShow more...
The app currently operates at a maintenance cadence, with only one release shipped in the last 93 days. Development is focused on expanding data analysis capabilities, specifically through the introduction of custom metadata attributes and improved visualization tools. The latest release provides granular control over transaction data, though the infrequency of updates suggests a focus on stability and targeted feature additions rather than rapid iteration.

Key takeaways for Pulse: Paddle Revenue
Where is it heading?
Users report: The market for mobile-native financial dashboards is consolidating around tools that offer deeper integration with merchant-of-record platforms.
