Soon it will be free to post apps to the Microsoft store

Microsoft is getting rid of the Microsoft Store developer board fees in Windows, the digital distribution platform for its leading operating system, the company announced on Monday during its BUILD 2025 conference.

From June 2025, individual developers will be able to register and publish applications at the Microsoft store without having to pay to register an account. Previously, Microsoft charged about $ 19 for registration.

The cancellation of Microsoft Store apps for publication of applications comes when Microsoft Apple’s competitor is confronted with intense legal pressure to remove certain fees for developers who charge at the application store. However, these fees are commissions – Apple still imposes an annual fee of $ 99 for developers publishing on the App Store. In the meantime, Google is charging a single $ 25 fee for Google Play, the Android App Store.

Microsoft says he will continue to charge developers with Microsoft Store apps, which use their 12% game platform and a 15% application fee. Developers who use their own trading system support 100% of non -game applications.
