Ok, I'm still developing what I believe will be a good app that will be useful to people. I don't want to go into too many details, but it's going to be a utility, rather than a game. I think it solves a common problem that a lot of us face.
I'm reading a book on selling apps from a business perspective.
I'm wanting advice on what pricing model I should use.
The book illustrates three models:
Free (with ads), pay, and "freemium".
I'm not expecting to make a ton of money from this, but it would be nice.
My "con" for the free (with ads) is that I could see people downloading the apps, but never clicking on the ads. Who does click on the ads? Have you ever clicked on one?
The pay one might generate fewer downloads (sometimes dependent upon pricing point), but could at least net me a little money. Setting a good price point would be key here. It couldn't be too low or too high. But I do think pay might be "worth it", even if the app isn't used very often, because of the problem it solves and the convenience it could provide afterward.
I can see "freemium" annoying a lot of people. This would basically be the app, but without "save" capabilities. And if they wanted the "full" version, they'd have to pay.
So what are your thoughts on this? I'd go into more detail about what the app is, but I want to keep that under wraps for now.
