Comment on Releasing Outside The App Storeparent

Comments

Hey Mark, any chance you could break down your sales percentages for us? How many are coming via the Mac App Store vs. your website?

As of August 21st, I've sold 5.9% of my copies through my independent store. This includes a few weeks at the beginning where the app wasn't available on the App Store at all.

The App Store utterly dominates.

However, I still think it's good to have your own release path as well, because it gives you a bit more courage to argue with Apple when you need to. :)
