Doesn’t Apple take a significantly higher percentage of sales out of apps that go through their store than Android? Is that the reason for higher fees?
I remember Epic Games wanting to charge more for their Fortnite in store purchases.

I think they’re both 30 percent.

I thought that too but Google have long since raised their fees to match Apple.
Monopolists going to monopoly price!

I don’t use these apps anyways just because of this:

The restaurateur should be paid their normal retail price, period. If the app want to charge a listing fee and all their other parasitic charges, then it should be itemized and disclosed at purchase time so the consumer can make a well informed decision.

Door Dash has the habit of creating their own menus for places-one bakery I worked at kept seeing people order sandwiches we didn’t make. No surprise at all that they deceive people with their pricing.

F*ck DoorDash and all other gig-worker corporate vampires. There. That’s my incredibly valuable contribution to this conversation. So sick of this crap.

As someone who lives in Maryland, we’ve got a lot of hungry lawyers cluttering up the place. I’d wish DoorDash good luck, but, I hate `em ever since reading an in-depth study of their business practices.
