What's the difference between Apple's in-app purchase (IAP) vs. web subscription?

What is Apple In-App Purchase (IAP)?

Apple offers an ability to purchase a software vendor's subscriptions through its App Store. Apple keeps 30% of the revenue and provides 70% of the rest to the software vendor.

Why are you offering a different plan on the Apple App store (fixed monthly price) than your web subscription (% of paid claims)?

Apple is forcing all software vendors to offer an In-App Purchase option on their apps. Failure to do so will result in our app being discontinued from the App store -- see Epic Games(Fornite) vs. Apple dispute.

We know that our customers love our pay-as-you-go (% based) pricing. However, Apple's policy does not allow us to provide a % based pricing - only a fixed monthly fee.

I am an existing MDBilling.ca customer, do I need to subscribe through the Apple Store?

Not at all.

If you are an existing MDBilling.ca customer, simply login with your existing credentials.

Do I have a choice to sign-up between the Apple In-App (fixed fee plan) vs. Web (% paid claims)?

Absolutely! You can enroll through our typical web sign-up process. We will create your account within one business day and email your credentials.

You can then login to the app under "Login with your MDBilling.ca account"
