App Store Monetization

App Store monetization refers to how developers make money from their mobile apps. They can do this through direct sales (charging users to download), in-app purchases (buying virtual goods or features within the app), subscriptions (recurring payments for ongoing access), or ads displayed to users. The App Store, like Apple's App Store or Google Play, facilitates this by providing a platform for distribution and handling transactions. Developers earn revenue after sharing a percentage (typically around 15-30%) with the store. Effective monetization aligns with providing value to users while generating sustainable income for the developers.
