Monetization Strategy

End-to-end monetization guidance for Apple platform apps — from "should I charge?" to "here's your pricing page structure."

Sub-skills in this category: external-purchases/ (US web checkout via the External Purchase Link entitlement, commission-flip architecture) and bundles-and-licensing/ (own-app bundles, Family Sharing, cross-developer suites, institutional volume licensing). Route there when the question is beyond the single-app price tag.

When This Skill Activates

Use this skill when the user:

• Asks "should I monetize my app?" or "is my app ready to charge?"
• Wants help choosing between freemium, subscription, or one-time purchase
• Needs pricing tier recommendations
• Asks about free trial strategy
• Wants to plan monetization for a specific app type (kids, therapy, productivity, etc.)
• Mentions "pricing", "revenue model", or "how to make money from my app"
• Wants to understand Apple's commission structure
