No more App Store fees

Will 50% of in-app purchase revenue move to owned channels over the next few years?

Stash thinks so.

In this Growth Masterminds, I chat with Justin Kan, co-founder of Twitch, serial entrepreneur and investor, along with Archie Stonehill, who leads product for Stash.

We talk about direct-to-consumer or D2C in mobile gaming, where getting revenue from what used to be in-app purchases over owned channels is resulting in 30% more revenue for top publishers. We also chat about what's driving D2C for all mobile apps, not just games.
