The short version

Each has a real cost: Bitrise pricing varies by location ($89-99 for Starter, $200-225 for Pro); Superwall it does not manage entitlements or validate receipts, so most teams still pay a subscription infrastructure vendor as well and carry the cost and complexity of two systems.

Superwall

It does not manage entitlements or validate receipts, so most teams still pay a subscription infrastructure vendor as well and carry the cost and complexity of two systems.
Pricing scales with tracked subscription revenue, which means the tool becomes more expensive precisely as it succeeds, and that cost sits on top of the store's own commission.
A server driven paywall adds a network dependency to the moment of purchase; the fallback paywall bundled in the app must be maintained or a connectivity failure costs a sale.
Statistically valid paywall experiments need substantial traffic, so small apps will run tests that never reach significance and will be tempted to act on noise.
The visual editor covers common paywall patterns, and anything unusual in layout or animation still requires native work, which reduces the promised independence from engineering.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Bitrise: Does Bitrise have a free plan?

Yes, Bitrise's Hobby plan is perpetually free for solo developers and includes limited build credits for testing.

Source

Superwall: Do we still need RevenueCat or StoreKit?

Yes in nearly all cases. Superwall presents and tests the paywall; something else must own entitlements and receipts.

Bitrise: What is Bitrise's Starter plan price and concurrent build limit?

Bitrise Starter costs $89 per month (or up to $99 depending on location) and includes up to 3 concurrent macOS builds and 10 Linux builds.

Source

Superwall: Does Apple allow remotely configured paywalls?

Yes. Configuring presentation remotely is normal; the purchase itself still goes through the store billing APIs.

Bitrise: What are Bitrise's per-minute build machine rates?

macOS M4 and M2 Pro Large machines cost $0.0096 per minute; Linux Medium costs $0.0044 per minute; Linux Large costs $0.0089 per minute.

Source

Superwall: How much traffic is needed for useful tests?

Enough paywall impressions per variant to detect a few percentage points of conversion difference. Below a few thousand a week, results will mislead.

Bitrise: How much does Bitrise Build Cache cost?

Bitrise Build Cache starts at $600 per month and includes 200 monthly cache invocations per seat for Enterprise plans.
