Alphabet Inc's Google will cut the service fee it charges developers on its app store by half on the first $1 million they earn in revenue in a year, after a similar move by rival Apple Inc last year.

Both the companies have come under fire from large firms such as Microsoft Corp, Spotify Technology SA, as well as startups and smaller companies, that allege the fees deprive consumers of choices and push up app prices. Fortnite creator Epic Games said in a statement to Reuters that Google’s move only alleviates some of the financial burden of developers.

Epic has been at loggerheads with Apple since August when the game maker tried to avoid paying fees on the iPhone maker’s app store by launching its own in-app payment system, which prompted Apple to ban Fortnite from its store.
