• Key Difference: The Play Store and App Store are two different types of digital distribution platforms. Other than the blaring difference, that Play Store runs on Google’s Android, which the App Store runs on Apple’s iOS, there are only other micro differences.

• Apple allows 255 characters to set an App Name. whereas Google Play Store only allows 30 characters. In the App Store you cannot change the Application name unless you submit an update version. This makes A/B testing of the title way more difficult compared to Google Play which allows to change title at any time.

• To put it clear, both the Play store and Apple store share the same purpose; download, install, update, and search for applications. Both stores share common elements like a description and a logo of an app, followed by few screenshots, reviews down below and maybe a video or trailer on the top.

• When it comes to revenue, both stores share similar conditions – 70% of shares go to the developers, while 30% of the revenue is reserved for the store itself. On the other hand, the App Store generates higher figures in comparison to the Google Play Store. In fact, Apple Store received $5.4 billion last year while Google Play Store collected only $3.3. The majority of businesses fraught starters to initiate developing iPhone applications if their main focus were to generate good income.
