Sorry guys, I know that this is not a Flex-based question, but I really value the opinions on this forum and wondered if you could give me a little advice from your personal experiences since I just launched my business based on AIR.
I recently started a small business and wrote three Adobe AIR mobile apps related to the business. The apps are subscription-based and are not cheap at $29.99-$49.99/month. As such, only users that absolutely must have the app are using it, even though a much larger group of people would LIKE to use it but can't justify the cost. I know that if the app were free to users, the number of users to sign up would increase by a large factor. But to support this, I would absolutely have to depend on ads to cover the bandwidth and data costs, as well as to make a profit. But I have no idea how successful ad-based apps are, and if they can bring in more money and not simply more users. Does anyone here have any experience with writing mobile apps based on both fees and ads, and could give me any insight on the advantages or disadvantages of both?? Thanks guys! -- Sent from: http://apache-flex-users.2333346.n4.nabble.com/
