I figured you were right, so I just signed up for prime.. through the app, and it didn't use the play store payment system, so Google isn't taking a cut. Again

Again, I have no idea what is possible on the Apple version, but I have subscriptions on other apps that go through the play store payment system. I'm not an expert on app store policies for payments, but I don't use any other apps that have subscription payment that don't go through the play store. I have a LastPass subscription which I purchased through their website, specifically because you have to go through the play store if you get it through the app.
- Wowfunhappy 6y agoI'm pretty sure on the Play Store, only games are required to use Google's payment method. (Others can optionally choose to of course.) On iOS though, apps need to use Apple's payment system for any digital good. Unless you're an Amazon Prime member renting a video.
- kuschku 6y agoOn the play store you even have to use google's payment method for 501(3)(c) donations (but they'll reduce the fee if you're a registered nonprofit)
