Developer Developers and App Store have existed for centuries and, while there are several opposition sounds, 70/30 divisions currently have more or less accepted the fact of the life of the application store. Epic games can be credited because of kicking Hornet’s nest, putting this system under a microscope and triggering a chain of events that ultimately indeed lead to changes that are beneficial to developers. After Apple and Google announced the change, Amazon followed suit with the AppStore Small Business Accelerator program that gave developers most of their income along with several AWS credits.
Unless you are far from the Amazon ecosystem, you might not need to know that it also has its own AppStore for Android applications. And like any application stores, pieces of money are needed by developers on the fire tablet. In the past, Amazon played with the same 70/30 cuts, giving a 70% developer of profit while maintaining 30% for himself. Now it will shake everything a little in settings that provide smaller businesses even more than what other application stores offer.
In advance, Amazon will change the split from 70/30 to 80/20, meaning that it will only eliminate 20% of income. It doesn’t look better than what Apple and Google will apply next month. Both will begin to take only 15% cuts for developers who produce less than $ 1 million per year or, in the case of Google, for the first income of $ 1 million.
Amazon, however, also throws aws promotional credit which is equivalent to 10% of the income. This practically means that the developer will take equivalent to 90% of income, thinking they really spend many things on AWS in the first place.
As the name implies, the Small Business Accelerator AppStore Amazon program really applies to small businesses, here defined as a developer that produces less than $ 1 million in the previous calendar year. The developer must also note that 10% AWS credit options ended 12 months after they were given if they wanted to make sure they benefited 90% of the new Amazon program.
