I've searched for the answer for days, but both Google and Apple haven't offered me anything concrete so far.

I was hoping to find someone here who could tell me whether in-app purchases done through iOS' StoreKit are bound to a minimum price. We are currently researching an app idea that would offer content for as low as 0.10 USD.

Also, I heard that Apple charges a 30% fee for all app purchases. Does this fee also apply to in-store purchases? We would also like to know to which extent we are free to choose the micro-payment processor of our liking, for all our in-app purchases.

Please excuse my ignorance, as I'm very new to iOS development. Any insights would be hugely appreciated.

Best, Ro

Hey,

Pretty sure 0.99 is the min price, if I remember correctly.
It works in price tiers, btw (because the appstore is worldwide)

I have a free app that lets you upgrade to the full version with a 99 cent in-app purchase. I don't remember ever seeing the option to do it for less than 99 cents. Like nadavhart says, pricing works in tiers.

I don't recall seeing an App for less than that either.

99 cents is the minimum IAP price in the US. In a nutshell, it's $1, $2, $3, etc.

Apple changes the price in other regions around the world, but here in the USA, you can't go below a dollar.

The price tier starts with 0,99

Ya, but i guess it depends on whether it's PAID or In-App purchases.
And yes minimum price tier for PAID APPs is 0.99.

[Patrice Khal]

For in-app purchase too, the minimum price is $0.99 (0,79 in France).
It's the tier 1.

It works by "tier" like apps, so they have the same ranges, with min at $0.99.

[tomozaru]

I looked into this too, and 0.99 is the minimum price for in-app

[Joe Pitto]

Indeed Apples currency table works in Tiers, and Tier1 been the lowest with 0.99, so nothing below that could be implemented.

[Prospectus]

Could you do something with the new subscriptions purchases, or are those also 0.99 minimum?
