One of the most important innovations due to Digital Markets Act of the European Union will be the possibility of installing alternative marketplaces on iPhone: the novelty will arrive with iOS 17.4, together with the possibility of having browsers with proprietary rendering engines and more.
However, what could be the first alternative marketplace for iPhone could be very different from what you expect: in fact, MacPaw has announced Setapp for iPhone, with a launch that could arrive as early as April.
For those who don’t know it, Setapp is a subscription service for MacOS, which overturns the marketplace paradigm: you don’t purchase individual apps, but you pay a fee. monthly subscription (€9.99/month) to be able to download all available software. The mobile approach will be identical, based on a monthly subscription that will allow you to install all the apps available on the marketplace, although this is not yet known how much will the subscription cost.
If you are curious to know how Setapp will work on iPhone, know the price and find out which apps will be included, you can leave your email to join the waiting list.
From the announcement on the official MacPaw website it seems that the apps available on Setapp will not include games: in fact there is talk of business tools, software for creativity and design, lifestyle and productivity, utilities And professional tools.
Let us remember that in addition to MacPaw, one of the first alternative marketplaces will probably be that of Epic Games, but that the company’s CEO is not happy, especially due to the particularly expensive economic conditions requested by apple.
