There's a world where I imagine apple tries to compete here, and says "yes, you pay a bit more through apple, but we don't give away your email address" etc, etc. Consumers could vote with their wallet what they care about.
In practice, my bet is that Apple uses their opaque app approval process and ability to change the rules at any time to make it arbitrarily hard for apps that use paddle to stay in the app store.
- rsanek 5y agoI don't know if I'd characterize a price that's 10-25% more expensive than the alternative as just "a bit more."
- habitue 5y agoRight, I mean you know Apple could make the case to consumers that the premium is worth it, or maybe drop the price a bit. You know, normal competition things. I guess my point is that I doubt they'll do anything of the sort.
