Taking the example above, if you think Wolfram Alpha sells the same amount at $50 that it does at $1, its time to revisit Econ 101.
Lowering the price doesn't necessarily mean lost revenue, in many cases it probably means much more.
- not necessarily.. but the question is.. whether they sell 50 times more at $1.. actually at 70 cents because they have to give 30% to the app store owner.Boz
- give 30% to the app store owner.Boz
- In this case, I would almost guarantee the answer is yes. No one's gonna pay $50 for the Wolfram Alpha app:)abettertomorrow
- Plus, despite what you said above, the cost of developing an app is in no way equivalent to the cost of developing Powerpoint or Photoshop.abettertomorrow
- Adobe After Effects or Visual Studio or other software that requires a large team and tons of time and moneyabettertomorrow
