It will be free to publish applications to the Microsoft store

The company announced that Microsoft gets rid of the fees for developers on the store in Microsoft on Windows, which is the digital distribution platform for its main operating system, the company announced on Monday during the Build 2025 conference.

Starting in June 2025, individuals developers will be able to register and publish applications to the Microsoft store without the need to pay to register an account. Previously, Microsoft has been about $ 19 to register.

The waiver of the Microsoft Store application is given as it faces the Microsoft Apple competition intensively to eliminate the developers fees you receive in the application store. However, these fees are commissions – Apple still displays an annual fee of $ 99 to publish the application store developers. Meanwhile, Google receives one -time fee of $ 25 for Google Play, the application store on Android.

Microsoft says it will continue to impose fees on developers with applications on the Microsoft store who use its 12 % fee for games and 15 % fees for applications. Developers who use their trade system maintain a 100 % revenue for non -linguistic applications.
