Google ends is 30 percent app store fee and welcomes third-party app stores

"Rather than take its standard 30 percent cut of in-app purchases through the Play Store, Google is lowering its cut to 20 percent, and in some cases 15 percent for new installs of apps from developers participating in its App Experience Program or Google Play Games Level Up program."

"Google will also now charge a five percent service for developers in the UK, US or European Economic Area using its billing system, and 'a market-specific rate' in other regions. Of course, using alternatives to Google's billing system is also getting a lot easier."

Google is implementing significant changes to its Play Store fee structure and Android policies, partly fulfilling commitments from its Epic Games settlement. The company is reducing its standard commission from 30 percent to 20 percent on in-app purchases, with further reductions to 15 percent for new app installations from developers in its App Experience Program or Google Play Games Level Up program. Additionally, Google will charge a five percent service fee for developers in the UK, US, and European Economic Area using its billing system, with market-specific rates applied elsewhere. These modifications also facilitate easier integration of alternative billing systems on Android.
