Spotify has its own App Store, with an even worse experience for developers in my experience.

Rather than a published set of rules and fees for commercial apps, instead Spotify requires you contact them, and fees and rules are done behind closed doors, if you even get that far.

Since Spotify is throwing stones here, what are Spotify’s commercial rates for Spotify integrated apps in their App Store?

Can you provide link to Spotify's app store? I've used spotify since it launched and was never aware of this feature.

They seemed to have recently removed it. The link below shows what it recently looked like.

The main issue was if you want to make a commercial app, there are no publicly available commercial terms, and it is easy for Spotify to not offer commercial terms to apps/companies that may in some way increase the chance of competition with Spotify. For example, if you wanted to make an app that would allow you to export your playlists, Spotify may offer you terrible commercial terms or none at all.

This is more restrictive than Apple.
