There will also be apps in the store that will be offered for free, such as the game Roll 'Em. Others include the Color program studio, which you are Apple priced at almost $30 and another game called Fast Lane ($5).

As for program developers, the conditions will probably be the same as in iOS App Store70% of the price will go to the app developer, 30% Appyou.
The average price of applications will probably be around $20. For Americans, this is not such a high amount, so this new store can be a very interesting alternative to online stores. It is expected that users will Mac App Store as popular as mobile App StoreIf that happens, you will never have to do any app difficult to search for (by the way, Ubuntu has been using exactly the same system for years).
