Settle subscriptions via the Apple App Store as a company

Apple App Store

What has long been standard practice on iPhones and iPads for some time increasingly applies now to Mac software too: buying software from Apple's App Store and subscribing to it.

The benefits are obvious:

  • Software for your Mac, iPhone or iPad can be found in one central place.
  • The App Store is pre-installed and can be used without much effort.
  • Software is checked by Apple and only then released for the App Store. Malware can thus be excluded.
  • Software updates are made available for download centrally via the App Store and, depending on your settings, are loaded automatically.
  • Apple takes care of the protection of your personal data and does not pass it on to third parties - not even to the software developers.
  • You have central access to all App Store purchases in the purchase history.
  • Your billing information is linked to your personal Apple ID, so you don't have to re-enter your data and payment information for each purchase.
