Amazon to cut its Appstore share to help small developers
India TV NewsAfter Apple and Google, Amazon has now announced to let small developers earn more by reducing its cut in Appstore revenue. Starting in Q4, for developers that earn less than $1 million in revenue in the previous calendar year, Amazon said it is increasing developer revenue share and adding AWS credit options. Called the 'Amazon Appstore Small Business Accelerator Programme,' it will enable developers to build a scalable business by reducing cloud infrastructure costs, while also offering better revenue share to help them get started on their own day one. Google in March announced to reduce the service fee to 15 per cent for all developers globally including in India on in-app purchases on Play Store from July 1 this year. Apple last year announced a new developer programme to reduce the charge by half for small businesses that earn up to $1 million in revenue from January 1, 2021, after facing flak for the App Store's 30 per cent standard commission for paid app revenue and in-app purchases.
