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 (after tax) for each completed purchase
- 85% of the subscription fee (after tax) for each completed subscription
The price you set for your app must be tax-included. This means the country tax is deducted from your price first, and your share (75% or 85%) is calculated from the remaining amount.
Because the tax rate depends on the buyer's country, your actual revenue for the same listed price can vary from purchase to purchase. 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
The examples below illustrate how revenue is calculated for single-app distribution.
A user purchases your app with a one-time payment of $99 (tax-included price).
Revenue calculation:
- Country tax (example): $15
- Remaining amount: $99 − $15 = $84
- Your revenue: $84 × 75% = $63
Your revenue from this purchase: $63 (varies depending on the buyer's country tax)
A user subscribes to your app for 6 months at a price of $25 (tax-included price).
Revenue calculation:
- Country tax (example): $4
- Remaining amount: $25 − $4 = $21
- Your revenue: $21 × 85% = $17.85
Your revenue from this subscription: $17.85 (varies depending on the buyer's country tax)
