Obviously Apple is the 800 lb gorilla in the app store room so developers often wonder if the Google Play store is worth the investment. Sundar Pichai revealed that Google has now paid out 5B$ to developers from its Google Play AppStore since the last Google IO. Which is 2.5X year over year growth.
In Contrast Apple has paid out 15B$ to developers from AppStore sales so far
“Apple’s incredible developers have now earned $15 billion on the App Store.”
It is still great to see all these hardworking devs get some payback.
