Box announces Box $rev program for third-party app developers
In the continued expansion of its enterprise ecosystem efforts, Box announced a new program for developers to make revenue from sales of Box seats, as well as making new SDKs (software development kits) for iOS, Android, and Java (Web).
Joel Bailon, Welcome to the New App Economy: Introducing Box $rev
Box $rev is an industry-first monetization model that allows our partners to generate recurring revenue from their app(s), based on the activity driven across Box’s enterprise customer base. By joining Box $rev, partners are eligible to receive up to 15% of the per seat price as a commission for the value they bring to our user base.
Box doesn’t take an Apple-style bite out of third-party revenues; all fees charged go to the developer company.
Box already has over 500 participants in its earlier OneCloud initiative, but this will likely increase the ecosystem dramatically.
