iPhone App Pricing Roundup

Sat, 12/27/2008 - 17:05 — Justine Pratt

A few blogs around the 'net have been discussing pricing of apps in the iPhone AppStore. I just wanted to note a few as a follow-up, since I had covered similar ideas in my previous blog post, Finding the Right Price - Marketing Mobile Software – Part II, Price.

My expectation is that if/when the low priced apps no longer support further development activity, then the devs will eventually drop out of the AppStore and the clutter will reduce. (There is a purpose for the $99 entry fee.) This process will be a long term process, however, so perhaps new devs will continue to chase the top spots with price? Should be an interesting journey.
