Microsoft slashes Windows Phone developer annual registration fee from $99 to $19 for the next 60 days
Microsoft today announced it is temporarily slashing its Windows Phone Dev Center annual registration fee from $99 to $19, for the next 60 days. While the news wasn’t during the keynote today at Microsoft’s Build 2013 conference, the timing of course is no coincidence: this is all about the company’s Windows Phone developers.
This isn’t the first time Microsoft has slashed the price tag in question. At last year’s Build conference, it lowered the registration to $8, although only for eight days.
In 2012, the discount worked by charging developers $99 USD or equivalent in their local currency, and then refunding the difference in the following 30 to 45 days. The 2013 deal seems to just be an outright 80 percent reduction:
For a limited time, the annual subscription fee for a Windows Phone Dev Center account has been reduced to $19 USD (or the equivalent in your local currency). Taxes, VAT, and other fees are excluded from this offer. This offer is valid beginning 6/26/2013 12:00 AM PST and ending 8/27/2013 12:00 AM PST in countries where the Windows Phone Dev Center registration is available (see Regional info).
