Does Setapp only accept native apps?

No, we’re partnering with developers that use a variety of technologies. Let’s discuss your case.

How much time will it take to integrate my app into Setapp?

It may vary depending on the app, but the integration of native Mac apps typically takes just a few hours.

Will I have access to user contact information?

If users consent, we can provide you with their contact information. But first, you need to implement a User Permissions API for asking a user to share their email address. Thus, you can create a permission-based email list of your active users.

Can I query user data to gather information that might help improve my app? What data am I allowed to collect with user consent?

You will be able to access data about OS versions, localization, and app usage right from your developer account. Upon request, we can also share data like app installations, user growth dynamics, churn, retention, and more.

What if I decide to remove my app from Setapp, how much time in advance do I have to inform Setapp?

We will be able to take the app from Setapp after the expiration of the term specified in the agreement, typically it's a 1-year period. Please inform us about your intention to leave Setapp at least 2 weeks prior to the removal date.

Is it possible that Setapp decides to remove my app?

Yes, we sometimes make a decision to remove apps from Setapp. The main reason is that developers decide not to update their apps and keep an outdated version in Setapp. We notify developers a couple of months in advance about our decision, but if the update comes along, we keep the app.
