- bdcravens 8y agoSame way I know that Spotify Free exists. (ie, marketing outside of the App Store)
- wool_gather 8y agoIIRC the iOS app promotes the desktop app, which can promote the premium plan. I have to imagine a fair number of Google searches for "spotify remove ads", too, which can lead to an upgrade.
- number_six 8y agoright, but their own app doesn't have the same restrictions. They can advertise the premium offering within the iOS app, they don;t need users to go further down a rabbit hole to find the premium offering. I guess the crutch of Spotify's argument is that 30% is too high to charge while having their own competing app that isn't required to pay the same fees. Effectively using their unilateral control of the App Store and IAP to squeeze a third party competitor
- kyriakos 8y agoNot every ios user has a desktop
- ppeetteerr 8y agoYou can advertise Premium in-app. Just have to charge iOS users more than Android users.
- Bud 8y agoJesus. It's 2019. This isn't that hard. Is iOS the only way a user can discover facts about the universe? Spotify can do this thing called "advertising". Look into it.
- threeseed 8y agoYou’ve never even used Spotify have you ? They advertise for Spotify Premium constantly on their free tier.
