How about one that you adjust your prices by whatever so that 70% is the old 100%?
If your competitors can offer lower prices and still give away 70%, then you're not competitive enough.
- grhino 15y agoIf your competition is the one that you have to give away your 30% to, maybe your competition is rigging the game?
- gcb 15y agojust do like apple does with taxes. create a subsidiary. dropbox.com, charges $x for 5GB idropbox.com, a dropbox company, optionally in the caymans, charges $(1.3 * x) for 5GB and has an app.
- kennywinker 15y agoYou clearly haven't read about the clauses apple put in about payments. You can't charge more in the app via apple than you charge outside the app via whatever other payment system you use. They've rigged the game.

You can't charge more in the app via apple than you charge outside the app via whatever other payment system you use. No, I know of that rule. Just jack the price everywhere --if the iPhone is an important market to you, that 30% is a factor you have to take into account in your overall pricing strategy. The same holds true for all of your competitors, after all. Either they give up the iOS market, or they have to do the same. So it's not like someone has an advantage over you. ( And, I'd say, if it IS an important market to you, well, you don't get to both have all those customers with their credit cards at the ready in a system someone else built out of thin air AND complain that you have to give him a cut).
