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.

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.

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?
