Google has offered to pay out $90 million<\/a> to small app developers to settle a class-action lawsuit alleging that the company\u2019s Play store policies violated federal antitrust laws. <\/p>\n

The suit claimed that Google maintained polices that effectively forced developers to use its Google Play billing system \u2014 which for many years had a default 30 percent <\/strong>charge on all transactions. In July 2021, in a concession to smaller developers and in response to this suit, Google cut this fee to 15 percent for the first $1 million earned through any app. <\/p>\n

According to Hagens Berman, the law firm representing the plaintiffs in this class-action, some 48,000 small app developers in the US will be able to claim a payment from the $90 million fund. Hagens Berman says some claimants could receive as much as $200,000 while the minimum payment is $250. <\/p>\n
