Apple charges about the same price for processing IAPs as the Play store, Steam, PlayStation Network, and Xbox Live. Which storefront are you thinking of that only charges a 3% commission?
- sneak 6y agoAll of those are abusive, anticompetitive markets. Every other purchase in an app not under the gatekeeping of those rentseekers pays approximately 1-3% for payment processing. An example would be in-app purchases in the Amazon app for real-world goods. Those are IAPs too.
- babypuncher 6y agoSteam isn't acting as a gatekeeper to anything, yet most developers still find their 30% fee acceptable. Clearly Valve is offering some value to them beyond just processing credit card numbers.
