I can not agree more on the point of the Simplified Billing and Monetization Mechanisms. In my opinion it is one of the greatest contributors of the Apple app store success and should be copied in the SaaS world as soon as possible as often as possible.
- iseff 17y agoAgreed. My startup (http://www.appstorehq.com http://www.appstorehq.com) is a multi-platform search and discovery site for mobile apps. One of the platforms we support is mobile web (HTML5) apps. One thing we've quietly rolled out and are private alpha testing is a dead simple payments API. This allows mobile web app developers to monetize their apps with just one API call. I'd love for anyone to check it out and let me know what they think (iseff@appstorehq.com). We don't have docs for it yet (since it's still private), but I created a test app for it and open-sourced that: Fortysquires (a foursquare checkin mobile web app): http://fortysquires.com http://fortysquires.com On AppStoreHQ: http://www.appstorehq.com/fortysquires-mobilewebfoursquareclient-html5web-196344/app http://www.appstorehq.com/fortysquires-mobilewebfoursquarecl... And the source on GitHub: http://github.com/iseff/fortysquires http://github.com/iseff/fortysquires If anyone wants to try it out, I'd be happy to explain further how it can work for you. We hope it helps remove the payments "muck" as well as increase distribution with our hundreds of thousands of UV/month.
