Apple Commission Alternative That Keeps Your UX Native

Yes. The April 2025 Epic v. Apple ruling permanently barred Apple from forcing US developers to use its In-App Purchase system. This opened the legal path for iOS developers to offer direct billing as an alternative to Apple IAP in the US. Allocents was built specifically to serve this unlocked market, starting with the US jurisdiction and expanding globally.

Allocents offers two billing modes. Allocents Billing (Merchant of Record) is priced at 5% + 50¢ per transaction — Allocents handles payments, tax, chargebacks, fraud, and customer support. Bring Your Own Stripe (BYOS) is priced at 0.5% of the revenue Allocents' migration flows successfully move off StoreKit, with the developer acting as their own Merchant of Record.

Allocents is designed specifically to preserve native conversion rates. The embedded checkout is a native bottom sheet inside your app — users never leave to a browser. Sign Up and Save paywalls let new users choose between App Store and direct billing, so you are not forcing a change. The UX is built to feel indistinguishable from StoreKit flows.

The Allocents SDK is designed for a 15-minute integration. It supports Swift/SwiftUI, Kotlin, Flutter, and React Native. Existing StoreKit products are automatically synced from App Store Connect, so you do not need to manually recreate your product catalog. Gradual rollout controls let you start showing direct billing to a small percentage of users without a separate app release.

Existing StoreKit subscribers are not disrupted. Allocents' Switch and Save campaigns intelligently surface offers to your existing StoreKit subscriber base over time, inviting them to switch to direct billing at a discount. You control the timing, discount level, and copy. Users who do not switch continue on StoreKit as normal. The migration is gradual and fully opt-in for the subscriber.
