1.5% + €0.25 for standard European Economic area cards
2.5% + €0.25 for Uk cards
So, how is that “you should NOT have to pay […] anyone any money”?
I also think that’s just for the selling part. Distribution, you’ll still have to do yourself. Apple and Google handle both, plus automatic updates for your customers, for you.
(Also, for a low-selling product and a €0.99 price point, the cost of Stripe is about par with Apple’s flat 15% plus €99 per year)
If you keep aside the hyperbole, you should have understood that I am talking about fighting against anticompetitive behaviour devised for exploitation by corporates. There is indeed a difference in paying 5% to stripe for their services vs being forced to pay 15-30% to Apple just because they have placed artificial technical barriers to prevent you from turning to their competitors (in some particular segment of business).
