What sets the Indus Appstore apart from its formidable rivals is its commitment to not impose platform fees or commissions on developers for in-app payments.
Additionally, developers will enjoy the freedom to integrate any payment gateway of their preference within their applications. This move comes amidst growing discontent among Indian entrepreneurs regarding the hefty 30 per cent commission imposed by Google and Apple on in-app purchases, as well as their restrictions on developers’ choice of payment processing systems.
According to details available on the Indus Appstore’s website, it will offer innovative features such as video-led app discovery and customized targeted advertisements in various Indian languages, distinguishing itself from global competitors. Moreover, developers will have the opportunity to showcase their apps in over a dozen Indian languages, besides English.
With its impending launch, PhonePe’s Indus Appstore is poised to provide a competitive alternative to the existing app distribution platforms, signalling a potential shift in the dynamics of the digital ecosystem in India.
