Excessive fees
Because Apple has had complete control over your payments, they charged unconscionable fees — 30% or more of your revenue.
Stop Apple From Stealing Your Revenue. Cut Costs By Up To 69%.
Finally break free from Apple’s payment monopoly. Select markets are now allowed to use external payment processors instead of the app store purchase system.
Thanks to recent government action, Apple was forced to change their payment processing policies. Which means your business can finally operate with the independence it deserves. Cut Apple’s commissions by as much as 69%, avoid administrative headaches, and enjoy better chargeback protection.

THE TRUE COST
What it’s really costing you to process payments with Apple
You’ve worked hard to build a quality app. But Apple is unfairly stealing your revenue with undeserved commissions, sabotaging your productivity with convoluted regulations, and inexplicably punishing you when their fraud “protections” fail.
No support
Merchant support is non-existent at Apple. Have questions? Confused about documentation? Too bad. You’re on your own.
Faulty chargeback solutions
Apple’s risk management only does the bare minimum, so disputes ravish your business and threaten your ability to process payments.
