Huawei’s AppGallery is the third largest app store in the world even though it is practically new. The manufacturer has been wooing developers to create apps for its platform with incentives. The latest is a revenue-sharing formula that will see developers get up to 90% of the money made.
Huawei is calling it the Revenue Share Percentage for the Preferential Policy and it is valid for 24 months and it is valid from when developers accept the agreement before June 30, 2020. The preferential policy becomes effective the first day of the next month after you agree to the policy for developers who had previously signed the AppGallery Joint Operations Sevice Agreement. For those who have not signed the AppGallery Joint Operations Sevice Agreement, the preferential policy begins the same month. Both categories of developers have until June 2020 to benefit from the preferential policy.
Google adopts a 30:70 sharing ratio between it and its developers. This is the same revenue split Apple applies to developers on its App Store. Last year, Epic Games refused to put its popular game, Fortnite, on the Google Play Store. The games studio said the 30% Google took from sales was too high as the “developer’s 70% also covers the cost of developing, operating and supporting the game”.
Epic Games has launched its own game store where developers earn 88% and the store takes 12% of sales.
