Apple Overhauls Its EU App Store Fees, Loosens Rules for Alternative App Stores Apple has introduced a simplified commission structure for apps in the European Union, replacing its per install Core Technology Fee with a flat 5% commission on digital goods sold outside the App Store or online.
This move follows last year's adjustment to EU App Store fees, which regulators deemed insufficient.
The new system applies to apps distributed through alternative stores, as long as they meet certain financial stability criteria.
