MacPaw Pulls Plug on Setapp Mobile iOS Store, Citing 'Still-Evolving and Complex Business Terms' for Alternative EU Marketplaces

Ukraine-based developer MacPaw is closing its alternative iOS app store, Setapp Mobile, in the European Union on February 16, 2026. The closure is due to evolving and complex business terms that do not align with Setapp's business model, suggesting it was not profitable. Users in the EU are advised to back up their data as the apps will be removed from the platform after the shutdown date. Setapp's subscription-based Mac app store will continue to operate normally.
