Aptoide, a new iOS game store in Europe, challenges Apple's App Store monopoly. With 1 million apps for 400 million users, Aptoide offers a freemium model with bonuses for in-app purchases. Developers are charged 20% for organic purchases and 10% for others, plus receive $1,000-$2,000 to launch games. Aptoide aims to attract users with free access and developers with favorable fees. However, concerns remain about game quality and competition with the App Store.
