And handling API tokens, and billing, and reliability, and middleware. I am not affiliated with them but it’s not “just” routing.

Apple still charges 30%. 5.5 seems pretty reasonable. /shrug I dunno.

Don't you still need to handle tokens with them? Also that's trivial.

> billing

Yes but you'd be paying for billing anyway.

> reliability

They increase reliability?

> middleware

Which you wouldn't need if you paid directly.

I'm not saying they shouldn't get 5.5%, but that list is mostly non-convincing.

3 of the 30 is for billing, with the rest mostly being gatekeeping with a fake justification on top.
