It seems that most of the above either offer some features for free or offer in-app purchases:
* Spotify offers free tier
* Kindle doesn't require buying books, technically you can use it to read documents that you send to your free account
* Netflix and Youtube allow to subscribe and pay via app-store
I'm not sure about the rest, but it seems that even Netflix and Amazon follow the rules.
- scarface74 6y agoNetflix doesn’t allow in app purchases anymore. https://help.netflix.com/en/node/25097 https://help.netflix.com/en/node/25097 iTunes billing for Netflix is not available to new or rejoining Netflix customers. If you are attempting to create an account on an iOS mobile device, you can sign up on Netflix.com using a mobile browser and will be prompted to provide an alternate method of payment. Neither does Youtube Live. https://www.theverge.com/2020/2/13/21136730/youtube-tv-ending-apple-app-store-in-app-subscription https://www.theverge.com/2020/2/13/21136730/youtube-tv-endin...
- drewg123 6y agoThis is yet another sure sign that the playing field is not level, and that big companies are treated differently
- zimpenfish 6y agoBut that's true of literally any business - e.g. if I go to Warner and ask them to license some music for my game, I'm going to get ignored. If EA want to license music for a game, they'll be getting lavish dinners and a selection of fine wines along with a menu of the new bands Warner want to pimp.
