Google has agreed to set up a $90 million fund to pay small app developers to address issues related to the use of apps on the site by independent publishers.

The Alpha group clarified in a statement that the fund is for developers who made less than $2 million a year through the Google Play app store between 2016 and 2021, indicating that nearly 48,000 app publishers are concerned about this box.

Google has also expressed its agreement to continue to provide a 15 percent commission on subscriptions made through Google Play for the first million sales achieved each year through its proposal introduced last year, instead of the sector’s standard 30 percent, and it will also be changed. Its standard contract is to make it clear to developers that they can use user contacts collected through Google Play to contact them outside of the App Store in order to provide their services at a lower cost in another app store , on your own app store, or on your own website.

The giant also plans to create a new category of independent publisher apps, saying the agreement “allows us to move forward and avoid years of unreliable and distracting lawsuits.”

Notably, prosecutors filed a class action lawsuit in 2020 accusing Google of violating competition laws and punishing developers by preventing them from listing their apps on other online stores.
