> And, through all of this, Spotify & SoundCloud are paying a huge chunk of their mobile revenue directly to their competitors (Apple/Google stores). I'm not so sure they are. By charging a higher price ($12.99 in app vs. $9.99 on web), I wonder if people really are paying the higher price just for convenience. I'm definitely not. Tidal is currently doing the same with their pricing structure.

The price difference between in-app (ios) vs. web is due to Apple's 30% fee for in-app purchase. http://www.theverge.com/2015/7/8/8913105/spotify-apple-app-store-email http://www.theverge.com/2015/7/8/8913105/spotify-apple-app-s...
