Android: Expanded billing options, registered app stores, lower fees
- Developers can include their own billing systems alongside Google Play's billing.
- App stores can participate in the optional Registered App Stores program for a more simplified installation flow (rolling out outside of the US first).
- Edit: On Play Store, a warning banner will inform users if the app is draining more battery than expected.
Changes in Google Play Billing
- Google Play in-app payment structure has been splited into billing and service fees.
- Billing rate varies across markets (e.g. EEA, UK, and US will be 5%).
- Service fee for new installs is 20%; participating developers in the Apps Experience Program will get charged 15% for new app installs.
- Recurring subscriptions will have a service fee of 10%.
- The updated fee is scheduled to go effective around the world by September 30, 2027.
