    It is miss-leading. You don’t pay any money unless more than 2% of the EU population uses your app (there’s about 50 million people in the EU who own an iPhone, and you need a million of those people to run your app to pay this fee).

    If you have that many users, and zero income, then all you need to do is register as a non profit - then Apple will exempt your app entirely from the fees.

    Every mass market truly free app that I can think of is already run by a non profit - so most don’t have to do anything at all.
