iPhone Apps: Free vs. Paid
Megan from MobClix spoke at the iPhone Dev Meetup last night and had the most interesting things to say about iPhone apps. Based on the market research done by MobClix, there are 65K paid apps and 19K free apps. Mobile phone users are certainly getting used to paying for apps! But the point that Megan made is that it is easier to get your app noticed on the iPhone App Store if it is free than if it is grouped with the paid apps.
Of course, many of these free apps are actually “lite” versions of paid apps. Now that Apple allows free apps to upsell the customer, I would imagine tha more free apps will be coming into the store.
