Can someone break down how this compares to what Apple does with Mac?
The basic gist I have is for Apple you have a yearly fee of $100(USD) but that covers all of your apps.
Where Microsoft is per app and looks to be about $100 a year (depending on how far in advance you pay) and then also have another piece on top of it regarding how often its used.
Is there more to what Microsoft is doing or areas where what Apple is doing is shady?
- mikewhy 6y agoOne big difference is that this $100/yr (ish) for MS side of things doesn't actually bypass smart screen on its own. Smart screen stops showing up if more people eventually install and use your app (black box). If you want to bypass it out of the gate, you need an EV Cert. Which are hundreds more (further down this article quotes one at $700), and require more effort on the business side of things.
