I am thinking of publishing an "trial version" of my application and upsell to the full version using Android Market in-app payment. This is so that I can list my app for free ans reduce the initial download friction. However, I am trying to figure out how much money Google actually takes a cut for in-app billing transactions. Is it 30% + Check out processing fee (3-5%?) or some other number?
Whether it's 15% or 30%, for apps obtained through the Google Play Store, developers are forced to use Google's in-app payment services. Android needs to be fully open to competition, with a genuinely level playing field among platform companies, app creators and service providers.
The service fee is 15% for the first $1 million of earnings each year when enrolled and 30% subsequently, which gives smaller developers more help as they scale their business.
15% for the first $1M (USD) of earnings each year, 30% for earnings in excess of $1M (USD) each year.
Google launched a similar program in July 2021. The conditions are the same as for Apple: as long as a developer (or a group) has received up to 1 million USD during a 12-month period, the commission is 15%.

The standard 30% transaction fee applies to in-app transactions on Android Market.
