In perpetuity? That's pretty tough to justify when they aren't charging monthly fees to apps that have a one-time purchase price. Does it somehow cost them less money to host an app with a one-time fee?
If the argument is around billing... spotify is more than willing to take that on themselves, in fact that's what they're TRYING to do, and Apple is rejecting their app because of it.
- duskwuff 10y ago> In perpetuity? That's a valid argument, and it's the reason why Apple is going to be reducing their cut to 15% on recurring subscriptions.
- MBCook 10y agoIt does cost them less for a one time purchase because they don't have to manage the entire subscription infrastructure. Apple stance is pretty simple, whenever they collect money they collect 30% (ignoring the discount for subscriptions over when you're). Whether that's a one time charge, where they collect money for a subscription every month, they charged a fee.
