Oftentimes those fees may also be as much as 30%! This isn’t best dear for the app builders, but when they are able to, they go the fees directly to us, the shopper. The tech giants additionally use different strategies to ensure their apps do higher available on the market, reminiscent of selling their apps over the ones of the small builders and make it tough to even get apps into their market within the first position.
