Apple had announced last month that it will be significantly reducing its App Store fee for small businesses by half. Today we are seeing proof of that, with developers noticing that the change has already kicked in ahead of schedule.
Apple normally charges a 30% commission towards any app or in-app sale on the App Store, but following some hue and cry from multiple places about how it deals with developers and their apps on the App Store, some leniency was showed to small-ish developers with the commission being curtailed to 15% only.
As pointed out by 9to5Mac, the developer of Marvis app, Aditya Rajveer, has noticed this change in the proceeds from his $5.99 listing where he is now earning $5.09 in accordance with the new 15% commission rate.
Similarly, David Hodge, the developer of Nikola for Tesla, has also chimed in with a similar report, where a $9.99 sale per month is now seeing a proceed of $8.50 instead of $7.00.
What is interesting though is that this change in rates ahead of schedule only appears to have kicked off in the US for now, with Europe not taken into the loop as of yet. Our guess is, come deadline, this will be made available to all regions.
The change in rate of proceeds to 15% seems to be active already. I’m seeing proceeds of $5.09 for $5.99 in the United States. Thank you, Apple. 🙏 pic.twitter.com/5VurdAOFNO
