There' s a good reason to enforce the 99 cent rule. Imagine a scenario in which a user downloads an app that is advertised as free, only to find that it's crippled beyond use without a subscription to a service or an internal upgrade. That's no way to build trust in the App Store.

Yes, Apple could add a third category of 'subscription' apps but there are so many edge cases that it's just adding unnecessary complexity for the users. If your going to subscribe to a service for months or years, then a $1 startup fee really isn't a very big hurdle in my opinion.

Free apps cannot use in-app purchase. You must charge at least 99 cents.

Are apps that are offered for free not allowed to use the store kit? It seems foolish to have an app the requires a subscription that is not a free download.
