Google charges $2–4 per app install from its app store
Originally Published 23 days ago — by The Verge
Google has announced new fees for app developers linking outside its Play Store, charging $2–4 per install and taking a cut of in-app purchases, as part of compliance with a court order to open Android to third-party app stores. The company has yet to implement these fees but plans to do so, raising questions about legal and antitrust implications, especially in light of ongoing court cases and potential settlements. Developers and legal observers are watching closely to see how Judge Donato will respond to these changes.
