Photomator has a pay once option. Too Good To Go is literally free with no IAP. That’s just from the apps that I know about from the list, not sure about any others that aren’t subscription based or offer a pay-once option.
I just scrolled through them. All had in app payments except for the Arcade one which in itself is a subscription, and the MacOS one. Maybe it’s showing me different ones than to you. :)
AllTrails is a funny one. It’s founded largely on the crowdsourced notes from their community. But I wouldn’t be surprised, even expect, that the developers get 70% of the cut and Apple 30%, none of which have anything to do with this main aspect of the app that is highlighted in the App Store’s “featured app” page.
I wouldn’t even mind it if they were more affordable, but asking me to pay €60 for a weather app or €120 or whatever for Ynab is ridiculous. I usually only start yearly subscriptions around the start of the year, for budget reasons, but that would easily add up.
I wouldn’t mind paying for some apps if they offered monthly subscriptions at the same price as a yearly subscription. I get that the whole point of yearly subscriptions is to lock people in, but they usually only offer a weekly trial, which isn’t enough to see if I’ll use the app enough to be worth its money.
What does the subscription weather app even do? Give you a free umbrella every time you forget yours? I don’t think there is any app worth money on mobile except for some games and professional apps.
Guess what. Not one of them is pay-once. All are subscription-based. I guess getting 30% does skew one’s judgement…
Lies of P is pay-once.

A bunch of them just have a one time purchase option and some are even free.
The Lost in Play iPad app looks like a one-time purchase.

YNAB pays for itself for sure. Absolutely love it.

yea no you get enhanced radar features among other things
It funds the exorbitantly expensive costs of constantly tracking and updating weather
