flag Google cuts Android app fees to 20% in U.S., U.K., EEA starting July 2026, with lower rates for new installs and subscriptions, and allows third-party app stores.

flag Google is reducing its Android app store fee from 30% to 20% starting July 2026 in the U.S., U.K., and EEA, with further reductions to 15% for new app installs and 10% for subscriptions under new developer programs. flag Developers can now use alternative billing systems and direct users to external websites, avoiding Google’s fees. flag A "Registered App Stores" program will allow third-party app stores to install with simplified processes, no ongoing fees, and a one-time registration cost. flag Changes roll out in phases, with global implementation by September 2027. flag The shift follows regulatory pressure from Epic Games’ lawsuit and aims to increase competition and developer choice.
