According to Epic Games, developers who distribute paid apps through the mobile version of the Epic Games Store must pay Epic Games 12% of their revenue as a fee. This is the same amount as the Epic Games Store fee for PC.
However, the iOS version of Epic Games Store will additionally charge a ``Core Technology Fee (CTF)'' established by Apple to comply with the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA).
The CTF rules state that ``For iOS apps distributed in third-party app stores, if the number of installs exceeds 1 million per year in the past 12 months, a fee of 0.5 euro (approximately 80 yen) will be required for each install.'' , and developers of qualifying apps must pay the applicable fees to Apple.

Based on this, developers have the option of distributing their apps on the App Store with the existing contract, reducing the main fee and paying CTF, or using an external store such as Epic Games to distribute CTF. You have to decide whether to pay for it or not.
Please note that fees may be charged for in-app purchases in addition to app revenue, but both the App Store and Epic Games Store have stipulated that they do not charge fees when using external payment systems.
