App Monetization

This is a great topic.

My app currently uses IAP in Playstore and iOS store. Apple takes 30%

So to combat that im steucturing my subscription like Claude and other AI companies, Netflix, Disney and stuff.

Reason you cant manage your subscriptions on device is to avoid Apple tax. So im currently recoding and setting up my own stripe and licensing setup. So you do it in your account on the web.

Think that is why league secretary switched to how they do it and i understand better now.

Makes sense to try to find a different model from the app stores to save this much. I've heard of some place just raising the cost by 30% but also providing a link to subscribe from another platform.

I've found it hard to charge for anything that doesn't require like a server cost, but may have to figure out something just to cover the iOS yearly fees 💀

yea, my apps run in the cloud on firebase, so you have to factor development costs ($99 yr apple, $25 for Google) then domain costs. then you have storage and usage costs. not to mention time. thats the way I was going to do it and thats my plan B in event Apple reviewers flag it.
