    Nope, completely free. No royalties although Apple take a cut and you have to pay a yearly subscription.

    Nope, no costs at all unless you want pro features which at the moment is just iAds and URL linking.

    The minimum cost to get your app on the store using Gamesalad is simply the $99 fee to apple to register as a developer. Be careful though, I set out to make my game for that minimum cost and have already spent around $300 just because of all the cool templates and tools that everyone keeps selling here! :)
    I also paid for an artist, but you can do all the graphics yourself if you want.

    So let me get this straight..Other then the $99 Apple Dev charges is there any other fee? First I hear its free then its $99 for GS and $99 for apple. Can someone clarify? Thanks

    GS is free to publish, just $99 for iOS publishing payable to apple ($99 more if you want to publish to mac appstore as well).

    please search people! this comes up at least once a week.

    the costs to publish are:

    GS Creator: Free
    GS Creator w/ Pro features: $499 per year (to get iAds, URLs and 'premium features' down the road

    In addition to GS Creator you also need to be a registered developer with apple. This costs:

    iOS Developer: $99 per year
    Mac Developer: $99 per year

    So, you can spend as little as $99 per year, or as much as $697 per year.
