What retail stores pay weekly?

Is 70% the standard payout for all app stores? What are some examples of app stores that pay out more or less than 70%? How do they explain their different payout?

  • The Apple App store pays out 70% to developers for app sales and in-app sales.  Google Play, Windows Phones, and the Blackberry online store do the same, regardless of the payment type (and therefore, regardless of payment processing fees).  What are some examples of app stores that pay out more or less than 70%? How do they explain their different payout?

  • Answer:

    One example is the SlideMe Android store with up to 90% payout: http://slideme.org/rate-schedule I guess they need this to attract developers since fewer users use this compared to the official store.

Generally speaking, app stores with a higher payout have less traffic.  They are trying to compensate by attracting content by offering a higher rev share.  The one exception to this rule are carrier app stores, where the operator generally claims that providing exclusive access to their user base is worth a premium.

Several operator stores that are usually white-labelled by other providers pay lesser. The rationale simply is more reach!! There are some independent stores like Appia that pay out 80% for Android developers, simply to attract more of them. This requires no explanation to the developers anyways! :-)
