Comment on Don't expect iPhone apps to get cheaper now that you can pay for them outside of the App Store
ABCDE@lemmy.world 5 months ago15% is not cheaper than using your own payment processor, don’t be silly. Stripe costs me around 3% and can be set up in five minutes.

Stripe standard is 3% plus 30 cents per transaction.

If your app costs $1 or you IAP costs $1, stripe would cost you 33 cents for that transaction. Or 33%.
To get down below 15% total you would need to have your average transaction would need to be $2.50 or higher.
The average app price on the App Store is 88 cents. statista.com/…/average-apple-app-store-price-app/
And the median in app purchase is about $1.30. techcrunch.com/…/apples-in-app-purchase-prices-ju…
The vast majority of developers would pay more to use something like stripe.

I can’t see that number mentioned.

It’s in one of the charts
ABCDE@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Ah it’s on one with a percentage on the other side, didn’t see that. Are purchases individual card ones or from credit, I wonder?
ABCDE@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Is that using free apps to bring the average down?
How many purchases were actually made at such rates? Apple has a credit system last I checked which means the fee could be taken for a higher amount, bringing that commission down hugely.
