Alternative app store Skich has become available on Android following its launch on iOS in the European Union earlier this year.
The Android version of the store is currently onboarding developers, with over 100 studios interested in joining. The platform provides a 15% revenue share for developers.
Skich began as a discoverability platform on iOS following the implementation of the Digital Markets Act. It then expanded into a mobile store following user feedback.
“We’ve seen firsthand how broken discovery can be for mobile games, especially for teams without massive ad budgets,” said Skich Store CEO and co-founder Sergey Budkovski.
“Launching on Android is the next step, it’s our most important one. We’re offering a real alternative where great games can rise on their own merit, not marketing spend.”
Skich’s launch follows a court ruling last week which saw the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decide it would not overturn the verdict from the Epic vs Google case from 2023, as reported by The Verge.
At the time, the jury deemed Google Play and its billing system to be an illegal monopoly.
