Google has reduced android app prices in India. Apps on the Indian version of the Play store can now be sold for just 10 rupees. The price floor also applies to in-app purchases.
Before Google’s announcement of the price change, the lowest price developers could charge was 50 rupees. Google said it hoped the lower price would help developers reach more people in India.
The majority of smartphone market share in India is taken up by Android handset makers such as Samsung, Micromax and Intex. The cut would also encourage developers to stick with Android, knowing that they could get more customers because they could charge less for their creations.
