I don't think you understand the true cost apple is imposing on everyone involved in the ios ecosystem. That 30% cut apple takes means you are paying 43% more

I don't think you understand the true cost apple is imposing on everyone involved in the ios ecosystem.
That 30% cut apple takes means you are paying 43% more for apps than you would have if apple didn't take their cut. I'd rather deal with a shitty subscription cancellation experience than pay 43% more money for something.
edit: also I reject the idea that using third party payment processors will result in a bad experience. 99% of apps will use paypal for payment processing and managing subscriptions on paypal is super easy.

- spiderice 5y agoNot if you believe in the free market driving the prices down. If app A keeps the price the same, app B will undercut them because app A is charging 43% more than they now need to to make a profit.
