This is why I don’t want alternative payment options on iOS.
It’s 1 click cancel on subscriptions.
It’s enforced and they have no say or cannot make it difficult for me to cancel.
- littlecranky67 3y agoThe UX is great, but not worth paying 30% more.

- littlecranky67 3y agoYou are right, and of course there is not always a surcharge. I myself am a big fan of easy it is to cancel when using Apple Subscriptions. However, there are tons of online services that WILL charge your a significantly higher subscription fee, when using Apple Pay (Tinder is a prominent one).
- criddell 3y agoWhen I'm signing up for some streaming service to watch one or two shows and know I'll be done in a few months, I have no problem with the 30% surcharge. It's paying a little bit more now to make things easier on myself in the future.
- scarface_74 3y agoIt’s 15% after one year and most major players have negotiated 15% from day one.
- rchaud 3y agoPaypal does this too. No iDevice lock-in required.
- emsy 3y agoHow about just not using those options?
- tpxl 3y agoApple has control over which apps they allow. Even with alternate payment methods they can still enforce 1 click cancel, they just don't want to because money.
