Hey all you Windows Phone 7 developers, the floodgates have been opened!
Developers have been able to submit up to 5, free-priced application submissions for free as part of their $99 annual registration fee. Additional free apps could be submitted for approximately $20 each. Over the last couple of months, we have received many requests from developers to increase this limit, and reduce friction associated with app submissions. In response to developer feedback we have increased the limit for free app submission from 5 to 100.
This change applies to every Windows Phone Marketplace Developer and is effective immediately.
Once you pass the 100 free app limit, you will have to pay $19.99 per additional app.
Go build some apps!
