MobileApps.com to launch soon, offers 95% cut for developers per download

Another 3rd party app store is set to launch very soon called MobileApps.com and while another 3rd party app store is nothing new these days, the cut in profits they are offering developers is. Trying to garner the reputation of the Robin Hood for mobile developers, MobileApps.com will be offering a 95% profit cut for developers to take.

This means that MobileApps.com will only take 5% of every paid download which will greatly increase the margin of profit for developers. This particular 3rd party app store will cater to both iOS and Android developers with iOS being done through a referral link system while Android developers will have their products directly on the site.

The 5% the site will take will be used to cover Credit Card transaction fees and other basic administrative fees the company will be charged.

"Ultimately, our highest intent is to be portrayed as the Robin Hood of app developers that truly champions their interests," said CEO and founder Alvin Koay. "We pay the highest payouts we can and provide the best facilities such as app discovery solutions, payment infrastructure, negotiations with carriers for bulk carrier-billing rates, etc. We strive to discover gaps in the present app store markets and fulfil them to the benefits of app developers. By taking care of the needs of app developers, they now get to focus on what they do best: building better apps and providing better customer service".

Hopefully this works out for the better as this sort of commission model has been tried before with another 3rd party app store called SlideME which had to raise the cut they took to help cover costs that were a lot higher than expected. MobileApps.com is not fully launched just yet but developers are encouraged to head over there now and register their apps so they are visible at launch time.
