This is a valid argument. But it's not like devs are completely on their own outside of the App Store. There are at least two other companies that provide payment and licensing services to software vendors like Fastspring or Paddle. I only know these companies as a buyer software licenses. Never had any problems with them. But I can't say how it is to deal with them as a software vendor.
- HatchedLake721 5y agoWhat Paddle and Fastspring offer is what Apple values at 3% of the 30% fee. This is about access to marketplace with 1+ billion people for a vertically integrated device that cost billions of R&D money. Same as if you want your SaaS to be on Shopify or Salesforce store. You'll pay a cut to be there. Because Shopify and Salesforce offer you access to their customers to install your app in 1 click.
- Aulig 5y agoI use Paddle as a seller and it's an amazing experience. No VAT hassle (both paying it and displaying prices correctly on my website) and super easy integration on my website (comparable to Stripe). Plus you get a bunch of payment methods at once (Apple Pay, Paypal, credit card, bank transfer,...). A great experience all around for a fair price (5%).
