After first announcing in August 2023 that it would launch an alternative App Store in the EU once laws allowed it, Setapp then launched a beta iOS store for developers and a wait list for users in February 2024. The company now says that the beta test will conclude shortly, and that its Setapp Marketplace will be live from May 14, 2024.
The announcement was made solely through social media, with just the words, “It’s coming. May 14. Stay tuned.” The words were accompanied by an trio of app icons for Apple’s Calendar and Safari apps, and Setapp’s own app.
