Yes Steem.Ninja is great! We hope to lower the price also in the future, however we are also bound by the fact that the appstores account 33% markup-fee :(
We just want to offer the 1-stop shop for being a wallet and also be able to offer account-creation!
From my research about stripe I know that they take 30cents + 2.9% of every transaction. They probably not even make profit. Have you though about just implementing steem.ninja? With their referral program you earn with every sold account :D
Thanks for your comments.
Please understand, first off this update to the app was already done on 26th of December. Then there was no Steem.nInja yet. Unfortunately the app had been stuck in review with Apple for almost a month.
With apple (and google) it is unfortunately required that when selling digital consumable products, such as account creation is, that you have to use their In App Purchase feature and are not allowed even to link to alternative (e.g. creditcard) payment options external to the app, from within the app.
On the other hand, there is also a benefit. It literally is tap-tap and done, no need for creditcard data exchange. And in the appstore it literally is everyone already having payment setup.
That said, this was never about making money. But a service towards completely onboarding users.
I will see with steem.ninja if we can exchange 'account creation' as they use their oracle-d delegation for creation of accounts and if they have a surplus of free claimable accounts I could maybe help get rid of them, meaning it wouldnt cost me 3 Steem to create and can then lower the price. But those are big "ifs"

Hi :) I understand how easy it is. However the accounts come with 0SP. So you need to buy a delegation somewhere on top. If Steem.Ninja uses claimed accounts I think they could sell them for 0.50$ (minimum that you have to charge with stripe)
I appreciate your easy wait of account creation but with 0SP the accounts are not really useable as they run out of RC super quick.
