Setapp Mobile is an alternative app store available to EU-based iOS users, but it’s currently limited to invited members.
This new app store plans to host and highlight high-quality applications with no ads or in-app purchases.
Paid Setapp subscribers can try the new app store for free during the invite-only period.

Setapp Mobile is a new iOS app store that is available to select EU users. This marketplace aims to primarily host premium apps without ads or in-app purchases. For a flat monthly fee, users will get direct access to high-quality software on their iPhones.

According to the company, Setapp Mobile won’t host games, social media platforms, or giant content creators like Netflix. Instead, it plans to offer users a curated assortment of high-quality apps — not compete with or replace Apple’s App Store.
