Apple Announces App Store Small Business Program
Great news.<p>The only concern I have is Apple has incentive to promote higher take apps over lower take, so they benefit more from pushing the 30% take apps over the 15% take.<p>As long as we don't end up with a tiered App Store like XBOX Arcade or Steam Greenlight back in the day then all good. If the 15% apps become pushed less that is no fun.<p>There is some benefit to a standard price market, most stores are 30% [1].  Tencent MyApp was even 55% until 2019 [1]. Epic Games is 12% but they said they are profitable around 7%-8% [1][2]. Steam, Sony, Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon all 30%[1].<p>If everyone went to 15-20% across the board it would be better.  I am concerned about tiering of the market and down the line lower take apps being less pushed.<p>[1] <a href="https://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/SimonCarless/20200903/369516/Are_the_store_wars_really_upon_us.php" rel="nofollow">https://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/SimonCarless/20200903/369516...</a><p>[2] <a href="https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/341249/Heres_why_the_Epic_Games_Store_takes_a_12_percent_revenue_cut_from_devs.php" rel="nofollow">https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/341249/Heres_why_the_Epi...</a>
