Don’t think Google Play and Apple’s App Store are the only distribution channels for your apps, as you can see below there is a healthy eco-system of third party app stores and directories that can help get your app noticed. Some of these app stores will give you a better cut of the revenues than the traditional 70/30% split offered in the App Store, some will let you target audiences in different markets, such as Asia and Africa, or let you offer your app as a white label product. Some may simply help you by offering a less crowded space to thrive in.
