Even wor... really?

That is less than the coffee bean budget for a month at most of these organizations. They probably spend more than that a year on parts and labor for the coffee equipment.

That organization fee is a token fee. A little friction so that it makes you serious and it stings a bit if it gets cancelled. To maybe not faff about and get down to shipping a product. A few bucks to cover things like CA maintenance and help fund some outreach programs I suspect.

$100 for individuals might be a bit on the steep side, I'll grant you. Or a stick to get you to become an organization as soon as possible.

Even worse is in relation with 30% cut. They charge $100 per year for the development tools. Yet, the outcome of the development tools must be sold in Apple market with 30% cut.

It’s 10 times the $25 from Google Play, and is per year. That’s in addition to the $100 that you have for the Apple store as far I understood their documentation.

I mean, that's 12x, but last I heard you also make about 8x as much money on iOS as you do on Google Play, so dickering over $274 is still petty.

If you are an organization, Apple’s fee is still $99 per year for the standard account with App Store publishing access.

There is a second program called the Apple Developer Enterprise Program, which is $299 per year, and is only required if you wish to deploy apps for internal use across your organization without using the App Store.

Correct, I mixed “enterprise” and “organization”. Thanks for the clarification and additional details

It is $99 for developer organizations. It is $299 for enterprises who wish to do their own enterprise signing (e.g skip the store).
