In the past, we did have "a little more" to choose from between Symbian, Blackberry, Windows Phone, Android and of course iOS, however, if we have always been clear about something, it is the fact that Apple is the most beneficial company for developers. time to monetize your work in the app store, and it is that according to the latest data, Google would have already paid its developers around 80.000 million dollars since its launch, half of what Apple has generated for them. The Google Play Store still has a pending task when it comes to monetizing its products, does piracy have something to do with it?
Today, @sundarpichai shared that developers around the world (excl. China) have earned more than $ 80 billion to date on @googleplay. Our platform can't succeed without the help of our developer ecosystem, so a huge thank you for all you do!

I remember the mantra of: I prefer Android because it makes everything easier for me, That was the euphemism for saying that you could hack games like The Simpsons to install any type of application you wanted without paying. Most developers have been solving this problem with subscription models, but nevertheless piracy is still the order of the day in Android and I would say that Google even allows it. Today it was made public that the Google Play Store has paid developers already 80.000 million dollars since its launch.
This contrasts with the 155.000 million that Apple has paid since its inception, which contrasts with the numerous criticisms that are usually seen on the networks, popularized by such relevant brands as Spotify, about the "commission" that Apple stays by the wayside. . I deduce that these brands would prefer to earn half and not have to pay the "royalty" to Apple, without forgetting that Google also charges it. What is evident is that developers have to charge for their work, like an electrician when he comes to your house to do an repair, but the Google Play Store is still the least profitable.
