Comments on: How to price an iPhone app and destroy the App store http://blog.cosential.com/?p=80 Cosential Product Blog Sat, 31 Jul 2010 14:22:42 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: CSET http://blog.cosential.com/?p=80&cpage=1#comment-580 CSET Sat, 01 Aug 2009 18:11:28 +0000 http://blog.cosential.com/?p=80#comment-580 I wouldn't try and make money with the app. Rather let the app sell something else. Give away the app for free to get maximum people using it, then have a backend way of making money such as selling advertising space around the functionality of the app once you have like 10,000 downloads and users using it.<br><br>The other model is to write the app so that it markets something you sell, for example clothes. And so your app is a cheapest clothes finder or something. It saves someone time searching and you make your money on the sale of the clothes, not the the app itself. JMO. Good luck.

Most kids don't even think twice downloading an app or game for that pricing. The best part is that they are probably not the person who pays the bills Definitely, I would think that pricing it at 0.99 to 1.99 is the right strategy.

Pandora/Facebook - all application pages I see do not drive to the iphone app store. They drive to a mobile WAP page with a link to the application page. Seems like poor user experience. Which leads me to beleive this is a development issue. Aware of the costs restrictions – was looking for more confirmation on if this is even possible?

I have also changed our model a bit since APple will not let us signup users in the iPhone App. The idea is to drive users to our main web app and then allow them to use the iPhone app. I will make a post about this soon.
