Mobile Game Monetization Beyond Apple's 30% Fee

Yes. Allocents is specifically designed to support consumable IAP products such as coins, gems, and other in-game currency packs alongside or instead of Apple's StoreKit. The embedded checkout sheet fires inside your app, keeping the impulse-purchase flow intact. You can sync your existing StoreKit consumable products automatically from App Store Connect and set web-only pricing or discount levels independently.

In the United States, yes. The April 2025 Epic v. Apple ruling permanently barred Apple from requiring developers to use its IAP system in the US. Allocents is built specifically for this jurisdiction, with jurisdiction-aware routing so direct billing is only offered where it is legally permitted. The company is US-first and expanding globally as additional markets open up.

Allocents is designed for a 15-minute integration. The SDK supports Swift/SwiftUI, Kotlin, Flutter, and React Native. It automatically syncs your existing StoreKit products from App Store Connect, so you do not need to manually recreate your IAP catalog. The gradual rollout feature lets you start with 10% of your player base rather than switching all players at once.

Apple charges a 30% commission on IAP transactions (15% for developers qualifying for the Small Business Program). Allocents Billing, where Allocents acts as full Merchant of Record, charges 5% + 50¢ per transaction. The BYOS option, where you connect your own Stripe account and handle MoR responsibilities yourself, is 0.5% of the revenue Allocents' offers successfully migrate to direct billing.

Under Allocents Billing (Merchant of Record mode), yes. Allocents calculates, collects, and remits sales tax, VAT, GST, and other applicable taxes in 190+ countries. Chargebacks, fraud protection, refunds, and customer support are also handled entirely by Allocents. Under the BYOS plan, the developer connects their own Stripe account and retains MoR responsibilities including tax and chargebacks.
