Single-app distribution revenue

Single-app distribution allows you to sell your app individually through Setapp. Users purchase access to a single app, and your revenue comes directly from those purchases.

This model is designed for apps with a clear standalone value and gives you more control over pricing and revenue predictability.


How revenue works in single-app distribution

In single-app distribution, revenue is calculated per app.

You receive:

  • 75% of the app price for each completed purchase
  • 85% of the subscription fee for each completed subscription

Revenue is not affected by how often the app is used.

Please note that foreign exchange (FX) rates and transaction fees may affect the final amount you receive.


Purchase types

Depending on your app configuration, single-app distribution supports the following purchase types:

  • Subscriptions
    • monthly
    • 3-month
    • 6-month
    • annual
  • One-time purchase (lifetime)

Revenue calculation examples
