Hello guys 
Im just curious if the corona starter has a size limit, project limit, or some sort of limit besides from you cant publish your app from play store and app store.
Thank you in advance
The only limit is some plugins, and anual revenue of 500k
Thanks for the reply,
Iām puzzled about the annual revenue of 500k? what does it mean?Ā
If your apps earn more than $500k, you should upgrade to pro.

leviosa09 - just to make sure based on what you wrote in your postā¦ you actually *can* publish to the app stores with Starter. The limitations are only:
-
no in-app purchases
-
no access to analytics library
-
no access to daily builds
-
revenue limit
Other than that, you can do anything youād like with Starter, including publishing apps with ads, etc.
thank you very much guys for you answering,
now Iām enlightened

please what no in-app purchases means ?
its means the apps we made is free in any storeĀ

I am publishing soon and I have in-app purchases in my iOS app. Ā I have already been using the starter version and know I need to upgrade. Ā I am trying to figure out if I need to get Pro or Enterpriseā¦Can I get some more info on the ārevenue limitā?
How does revenue information get passed on? Ā Is it per game? Ā Is it per platform?Ā
e.ahmad1991, Ā in-app purchases refers to the ability for users to make purchases *inside* your app. That is what is restricted in Starter. But with Starter you can definitely publish an app and sell it on the app stores.
bridget3, if you only need in-app purchases, wait until tomorrow as we have an announcement coming about this. You could also do Pro as that adds other functionality. Corona Enterprise adds the ability to call native libraries, which you may not need.

cool thanks! Ā Looking for the announcementā¦does it have to do with being able to create in app purchases with starter? Ā I just had my partner pay for pro yesterday but we are a 2 person company and definitely below the half a million dollar mark so even the $588 hurt a bitā¦we plan to give the app for free but try to get something from in app upgrades so I suppose we would have to sell a bunch of those to even break even. Ā Let me know whats possibleā¦
and thanks for the awesome tool!
Just to add to and restate Bridgetās question for clarificationā¦
āHow does revenue information get passed on? Ā Is it per game? Ā Is it per platform?ā
Ā
How/WhenĀ do we measure when we hit the revenue limit to decide when to upgrade any subscription? In other words fiscal year start/ end is most likely different to license subscribers fee date start/endĀ and growth to any limit may peak and fall off across these dates as well.
Ā
IN potentialĀ answer I looked at Corona FAQsā¦ (added below) but I still haveĀ questions.
Ā
Q1 Definition of ārevenueā Is this all company revenue (i.e size from all services and products (even non-Corona)) or just Corona created apps ?
Ā
Q2Ā Ā examples.ā Fiscal Yearā, if this is say, āApril to Aprilā, and Corona subscription isĀ āJune to Juneā and publication is following Sept in first fiscal year published on Basic version; Next April not having hit 'revenue ā limit-[no upgrade], Next June (subscription duel) but below limit [no upgrade], but following monthsĀ hit subscription limit.
Ā Q2 actual question When should I upgrade subscription, directly one month after hitting the limit i(n my example above), or, next June when existing subscription runs out, or, is the upgrade discounted by amount ānot usedā and purchased at the time limit is reached ?
Ā What if then the revenue drops off in April the next year.?
Q3 What happens to the Apps that exceed the limit and no upgrade publication is purchased because development is āfrozenā?
Ā
Ā
_ 'What do the Revenue Limits mean? _
This is the maximum annual revenue (in their last fiscal year) a company or legal entity may have in order to use that version of Corona SDK/Enterprise. For example, a company with more than $100k in annual revenue the previous fiscal year cannot use Corona SDK Starter to publish apps but can do so with Corona SDK Pro or Corona Enterprise."
ibmprgmrsince1964 - Our goal is to make this as simple as possible:
-
Revenue means revenue for the whole company.
-
āYearā refers to the last complete fiscal year for the company.Ā
-
You do not need to upgrade a subscription immediately if you happen to pass a revenue limit. It is fine if you renew at the right level when you are up for renewal
-
You are free to stop subscribing at any time. Your published apps will be unaffected - and can make any amount of revenue. Of course, if you need to update them at some point, you would need a valid subscription (at the right tier level).
Very Clear nowā¦ Thanks David.
one furtherĀ qā ref (4)
From your experience can you tell meā¦
What happens at the end of the Xcode subscriptionā¦ Does apple disable the Apps and withdraw them from the store if no further annual Xcode subscription feeĀ is paid?Ā
Or are theyĀ like Corana, once built and published the apps stay āas isā and the apps can stillĀ be downloaded and used Ad infinitum,Ā subject toĀ no bugs/failures? I think your reply implies the latter.

Your apps will disappear from the Apple Store if you discontinue paying Apple itās license - and then magically reappear the moment you send them $99 again.
