Also, to register as a developer on the Apple App Store requires a yearly fee of $99, whereas to register as a developer on the Google Play Store requires a one-time payment of only $25.

Google store features

User access for a newly published app is granted within few hours on the google store while it takes weeks on the App Store. Google apps can be updated multiple times a day in response to user complaints while it is a harder process with iOS apps.
