Interesting, yes, that make sense, there should be resellers. It is not clear how much of that money ended up going to Apple and paying for the OpenAI API access.
Is Apple going to get their cut from the paying customers of OpenAI, by the way?
- wahnfrieden 3y agono. and you won’t be able to start paying from inside the app.
- startupsfail 3y agoIt seems rather unwise of Apple to invite that OpenAI/Plugin marketplace without some kind of an agreement. No plugins right now in the App, but they’ll be coming, no?
- wahnfrieden 3y agoWhy would they do something special? This already exists. Apple is fine with it as long as they don’t solicit payment in the app / direct users outside the app.
- AdamJacobMuller 3y agoPlugins work fine in the app. It’s just a nice webview basically.
- samyok 3y agoYou can start a ChatGPT Plus subscription from inside the linked app.
- wahnfrieden 3y agoThen “yes” and now we know something about openai margins
- Aulig 3y agoYou must be able to start the subscription from inside the app: 3.1.3(b) Multiplatform Services: Apps that operate across multiple platforms may allow users to access content, subscriptions, or features they have acquired in your app on other platforms or your web site, including consumable items in multi-platform games, provided those items are also available as in-app purchases within the app.

- wahnfrieden 3y agoThey do what? They do not need to. But they ARE, because they want to. You and the other simply misunderstand that Apple rule because it's written strangely. Do YOU have first hand experience with this rule? Go do your research.

- Aulig 3y agoFeel free to clarify what the rule means. I publish multiple apps per week and have encountered this rule enough times in exactly the way I mentioned it.
- wahnfrieden 3y agolook at Spotify, edtech products etc
- scarface74 3y agoYou mean you won’t be able to start the subscription from the app by clicking on the “Upgrade to ChatGPT Plus” right on the settings panel in the app?
- wahnfrieden 3y agono
- scarface74 3y agoYou realize you can subscribe within the app right?
- wahnfrieden 3y agoYa
- OkGoDoIt 3y agoIf you actually check, they do offer subscriptions in the app. I just downloaded it and checked it out myself. Click the … icon, then Settings, then “Upgrade to ChatGPT Plus”. It’s the same price point as if you buy directly from OpenAI, but Apple gets 15% or 30%.
- linhns 3y agoIf they are probably they won't say it
- scarface74 3y agoWhy is act like it’s some great conspiracy? If you subscribe through the App Store, Apple gets 30%. If you don’t, Apple won’t.
- JimDabell 3y ago> If you subscribe through the App Store, Apple gets 30%. 15%. The only companies that pay 30% are the ones earning over a million dollars a year from things other than long-term subscriptions.

- freedomben 3y agoWant that only on year 2 though? First year at 30%. Regardless I expect open ai to do well over a million or year
- czottmann 3y agoNo, you can apply for the 15% fee, a.k.a. the App Store Small Business Program, right from the start. > If your proceeds surpass the 1 million USD threshold in the current calendar year, you will no longer be eligible for the program and the standard commission rate will apply to your future sales.
