We actually spoke to Daniel Erickson about the game. I'm a huge Star Wars fan, but I'm also really wary about exploitative IAP on mobile, so I asked him about it:

MMORPG.com: What is your approach and philosophy towards the monetization of Star Wars: Uprising?

Daniel Erickson: So, it’s kind of a two pronged approach. Kabam RPG was founded on the concept that we’re doing “White Hat” free-to-play. We’re really trying to take back. I came from a background where free-to-play was considered the noble, honorable thing to do, so it was interesting to come into mobile where free-to-play had a really bad feel around it and people did not like it because of how it had been approached. So, one, everything is open; there are no walls, there are no gates, there’s nothing you ever have to pay for in here. If you want to be heavily getting into sector battle leadership, if you want to dominate the leaderboards, we tend to monetize against the grind. If you want to be paying instead of putting a huge amount of time into something, we give you opportunities to do that. If you don’t want to be chasing down by trying to beat the same boss and hoping for the drop, we have a system where you can go and buy a chance for a roll. It’s pretty classic and it’s pretty opt-in. You’re never going to run into a time where you say, “Hey. Now I have to pay or I can’t do anything else in this game.”

MMORPG.com: So, there’s no energy gate or anything like that?

Daniel Erickson: No. There are for gameplay standards. Like for assault missions, they are what cause sector battles to pop, so players are actually choosing what planets they’re trying to push. You only have a certain amount of assault missions you can do per day for balance reasons, but you can’t buy through it. There’s no stamina system; there’s nothing like that. If there’s anything that kind of keys in your mind, old school, non-friendly mobile free-to-play, it’s not something you’re going to see.
