- “There is a big catch about that $9.99 price: $9.99 will cover Android, desktop, and the mobile Web, but if you want iOS support, the price goes up to $12.99/month. Apple takes a 30 percent cut of all subscription revenue on its platform, and Google is passing that cost directly onto the consumer.”
