> As a developer you should NOT have to pay Apple or Google or anyone any money to create / distribute software. So, how do you get a computer? Get electricity to power it? Learn how to write programs? I don’t think that “or anyone” clause is a tenable position. > My advise - just sell and distribute the app yourself ( https://stripe.com/resources/more/how-to-start-a-digital-pro https://stripe.com/resources/more/how-to-start-a-digital-pro... That page has a “Pricing” link (https://stripe.com/en-nl/pricing https://stripe.com/en-nl/pricing) that says 1.5% + €0.25 for standard European Economic area cards 2.5% + €0.25 for Uk cards So, how is that “you should NOT have to pay […] anyone any money”? I also think that’s just for the selling part. Distribution, you’ll still have to do yourself. Apple and Google handle both, plus automatic updates for your customers, for you. (Also, for a low-selling product and a €0.99 price point, the cost of Stripe is about par with Apple’s flat 15% plus €99 per year)
