How do free apps make money?
So you have a brilliant app idea. But as the excitement bubbles, a daunting question follows suit—should you offer your app for free, include in-app purchases, or put a price tag on the download? You saw that it is going to cost a few thousand to build it, how will you get that back? This decision might seem simple, but in the evolving digital ecosystem, it’s a crossroads that could determine the success or stagnation of your app. Whether you’re an aspiring developer, a serial entrepreneur, or just someone with a killer idea, understanding the dynamics of free vs. paid apps is crucial. Let’s delve into the intricacies of both models to help you make an informed choice for your brainchild. Paid Apps: The notion of charging users to download your app seems straightforward, right? You’ve invested time, energy, and resources into crafting your app, so it only seems fair to ask users to pay for it. But let’s hit the brakes for a moment and consider the wider landscape. According to data from Google, a staggering 1 out of 2 users have never paid for an app. That’s half the potential audience you could be missing out on just by setting a price for entry. This is a clear signal of the reluctance many have towards shelling out money upfront, especially in a market saturated with countless free alternatives.Open IebP1-marketing-strategies-app-and-mobile-paid-vs-free-ap-user-statistics-.jpg?width=1440&height=800&name=IebP1-marketing-strategies-app-and-mobile-paid-vs-free-ap-user-statistics-.jpg The notion of charging users to download your app seems straightforward, right?

In addition the Google Play store, and Apple store charge a fee to be come a developer and then an ongoing 30% of any commision. Free Apps: Free apps can still be lucrative if you adopt the right monetization strategy. Here are some of the most popular ways to monetize a free app: Type Pro Con In app ads Easy to implement Can increase user churnInconsistent revenueNeeds large user base for solid returns In app purchases Can be combined with ads in free version, none in premiumLets users learn to like the app prior to purchasing 30% commission to app storeCompeting with fully free alternitives Affiliate and Referrals The affiliate does the sales and fullfilmentGreat for building partnerships Can be seen as a pushy sales tacticAffilate programs can change rapidly Merchandise You keep all of the profits Requires managing fullfilment, returns, etc Sponsors and partners Great for niche auddiences that want niche productsCan build good partnerships Can be seen as a pushy sales tacticOften hard to find profitable Licensing Can generate consistent recurring revenue You need to sell it to people to whitelabel Email marketing No comissions paid to app store Can be seen as a pushy sales tactic Donations Not likely to get recurring revenueNot super profitable Can be seen as a pushy sales tactic Data monetization Profitable for huge user bases Has the potential to really annoy usersPotential law changesNeeds great security on user data Diversification is key in this industry, if you have a free app with ads, and a paid premium version, affiliate marketing for some low value products, and whitelabel your app to an adjacent industry to avoid any direct competition you will have a consistent recurring revenue stream.

Ah, the age-old question: how much does an app cost?
Ah, the age-old question: how much does an app cost? This is a “how long is a string” kind of question however, this blog is desigend to help you navigatie potential cost factors and maximizing your budget. Flutter: Your Cost-Conscious Champion Let’s be honest, traditional app development (building separate apps for iOS and Android) can be a financial disaster the cost is almost twice as high. Enter Flutter.dev, the knight in shining armor! By using a single codebase, Flutter streamlines development, saving you precious time and, yes, money. We estimate savings of 50-90% compared to native development, potentially translating to thousands of dollars back in your pocket. But Remember, Extras Add Up: While Flutter is fantastic, its magic doesn’t eliminate all cost factors. Here are some potential curveballs that might affect your app’s price tag: Complexity Reigns Supreme: Feature-rich apps with intricate functionalities like complex animations, real-time data connections, complex data structures, or offline capabilities naturally require more development effort, impacting cost. Social Login Integration: Adding logins via Facebook, Google, etc., is convenient for users, but can involve marginal additional development and API fees. Advanced Payment Gateways: Integrating advanced payment options like Apple Pay or custom in-app purchases takes extra time and expertise, affecting the cost. Number of Screens: each screen ads an incremental cost to your app. Transparency is Our Mantra: At Aviato Consulting, we believe in open communication. During the initial consultation, we’ll carefully analyze your app concept and provide a transparent cost estimate, we also don’t issue an invoice till day 14 and only then if you are happy with what we have built to date. We also bill monthly, which means if you are not happy at any time you can take your code to another developer to finish. Remember, Value Goes Beyond Price: While cost is important, don’t underestimate the value of a reliable development partner. We learnt the best ways to develop apps while working at Google, we bring this experience, strategic thinking, and a commitment to user-centric design to Aviato. As such we’ll ensure your app not only fits your budget but also delivers a stellar user experience, driving engagement and achieving your unique goals. Ready to Craft Your Dream App?
