If there was alternatives Apple wouldn't be able to charge 30% anymore.

Google Play charges 30%, despite F-Droid, Samsung Galaxy, TapTap, Itch.io, Aptoide, Amazon, Aurora, Uptodown, etc.

It really is amazing hearing Apple people talk about the world.

  • The preferred alternatives seems to be to charge 30% more when buying things through the app rather than the website or not doing in app purchases at all. Presumably the restrictions or the not user friendly experience Google enforces for users makes it not worth doing it on Android, so the other options are better.

  • They both charge 15% for most developers. Google charges 15% for the first million for all developers.
