Wouldn’t it be possible to emulate this in a somewhat contrived way with in-app purchases? Make the app free, and then have a new in-app purchase each year: “2020 features”, “2021 features”, etc. Every year would include all the features of previous years, so new users on year N don’t have to pay N times as much to start using the app.
- watwut 5y agoI think that this would complicate maintenance and code itself. Plus, people who paid for 2020 features would still wanted you to fix bugs.
- skinnymuch 5y agoThis seems a bit convoluted. Another is the drop to 15% for subscriptions after the first year. I believe this only affects developers doing $1M or more in revenue. But still
- vineyardmike 5y agoI believe apple only gives discount to developers doing less than 1m in revenue not more than 1m.
- skinnymuch 5y agoI confused my self. The 15% across the board is for under $1M. While 15% after first year of iap subscription would only benefit $1M+ Devs as the others are already at 15%. In other words I complicated it. It’s 15% for all in app purchase subscriptions after a year for all developers.
