Friends Kingdom: Re: [iPad] Rival music services say Apple's App Store pricing is anticompetitive

I've read that on average as supported free apps cost more over the life of the app than by paying a dollar up front for no ads. The reason being because of the data fees involved in geolocation and serving you the ads. I don't know if the same holds true for pandora or spotify but it's something to consider. Basically what I'm suggesting is that free isn't free.

They serve ads right? And the ad free tiers require a monthly?

I have a Spotify app on my iPhone 6+. I signed up with Spotify through the web and logged in to the Spotify app on my phone. No paying extra fees.

I doubt they could disallow it. As a matter of fact I can get spotify through my sprint cell phone service on my iPhone and apple gets no such cut so I find it hard to believe that there is no other way other than apple and sprint.

Cheers.

But a call to Spotify wont get you a subscription app, or could u get the free app and log in to get the paid version? I doubt Apple would allow that.
