Microsoft lures developers to Windows Phone with cheaper fees
Microsoft is trying to attract developers to its Windows Phone mobile operating system, having reduced the cost of a developer membership and improving its benefits.
Microsoft is now offering lifetime accounts for Dev Center, with a one-time registration payment enabling developers to submit apps for Windows Phone and Windows, which costs $19 for individuals and $99 for companies. Previously developers would have had to pay this subscription fee once a year.
In comparison, iOS developers pay $99 per year, while Android developers pay a one-time fee of $25 when they register.
