Apple IAP Alternative For Mobile App Developers

Yes. The April 2025 Epic v. Apple ruling permanently barred Apple from forcing US developers to use its In-App Purchase system. US mobile app developers can now legally offer direct billing as an alternative or alongside Apple IAP. Allocents is built specifically for this post ruling environment and handles the jurisdiction aware routing automatically so your app only shows direct billing options where it is legally permitted.

Allocents is designed for a 15 minute integration. The SDK supports Swift and SwiftUI for iOS, Kotlin for Android, and Flutter. It imports your existing StoreKit products automatically from App Store Connect, so you do not need to recreate your product catalog. The dashboard lets you configure flows, discounts, and rollout percentage without shipping a new app update.

Yes. Switch and Save campaigns are specifically designed to migrate existing StoreKit subscribers to direct billing. You configure the timing, typically 60 days post subscription, and the discount offered. The gradual rollout feature lets you start with 10% of your subscriber base, measure the impact in the analytics dashboard, and scale up only when you are confident in the results. Instant rollback is available from the dashboard at any time.

Allocents Billing is priced at 5% plus 50¢ per transaction, where Allocents acts as the full Merchant of Record and handles payments, tax, chargebacks, fraud, and customer support. For larger teams with existing Stripe infrastructure, the Bring Your Own Stripe option is 0.5% on migrated revenue only, where you retain MoR responsibilities. Both options are significantly lower than Apple IAP's 30% commission.

Allocents works both ways. The Sign Up and Save paywall lets new users choose either the App Store checkout or direct billing at a web only discount, so you keep the native IAP flow intact for users who prefer it. Switch and Save campaigns move existing subscribers over time. You can run both systems in parallel, making Allocents a side by side alternative rather than a hard replacement if that suits your migration strategy.
