We're a startup that's just launched a new business, and part of that is some useful mobile apps to help take pictures from your phone and upload them to our webapp service. The photos aren't vital to the app, but it's a nice feature, especially since the stuff being captured is household things, i.e. for insurance records etc. so a walk-around phone is handy.
We submitted our iPhone/iPad app and it got (quickly) rejected by Apple for the reason we don't provide in-app billing. We're deciding what to do next so wanted to hear opinions from here.
Options would include:
- Free Plan. We don't currently have a free plan (just a trial) and our model doesn't really fit with that, but is that how other web connected apps get approved, i.e. is Evernote and Dropbox type apps available because they do in-app purchasing or can you argue if you have a free level of service?
- Do In-App billing. We use Recurly and have a great subscription service with lots of options. The work would be then to set up a dual system just for Apple?
- Forget iOS and just run with our Android version we have.
All advice appreciated!
