Google will let Match Group offer an alternative payment system in dating apps such as Tinder, one that charges a lower fee for subscriptions than Play Store.
Match Group, the maker of popular dating apps such as Tinder and Hinge, scored a victory in its tussle against Google over the Play Store’s taxation policy. The immediate impact for users is that they will continue to have the option of making in-app purchases from an external source and won’t be limited to the Play Store’s own billing system.
In response to Google’s deadline, Match Group filed a lawsuit against Google, accusing the company of anticompetitive conduct that allowed Google to maintain its monopoly on app payments in the Android ecosystem. However, it now appears that Google has agreed to Match Group’s demands, and as a result, the online dating giant has withdrawn its complaint against Google on certain conditions.
“Match Group has only dropped the temporary restraining order, not the primary lawsuit. This agreement that led to Match Group dropping the restraining order is temporary. Until the judge issues a ruling, Google agreed to not force mandatory use of Google Play Billing or remove Match Group apps that offer alternate billing systems from Google Play Store. The date for the trial is currently set for April 2023.
