Bonzo Apple Fan Posts: 783 Reg: Jan 30, 2012 Basingstoke 13,530	confirm \| cancel 07/27/12 02:25 AM (13 years ago) Small Price to pay or free ? All, Looking for others opinion ? Option 1: Put you app up for free in the App Store but with iAds/revmob Pros: Likely to get more download because its free with a high chance of people using the ads Cons: Annoying Ads!, No guaranteed income for each download Option 2: Put your app up for minimal amount ($.99/.69p) with no ads Pros: Get paid for the download Cons: Alot less download because its not free I have a new app almost ready to submit to apple but cannot decide on the best way to go. Its a fan app for a popular tv show with information about all series and episodes, a quiz and a soudboard for popular phrases within the show Thanks Title Comments All, Looking for others opinion ?

RevMob works great for high-traffic fan apps. Most people won't pay money for fan apps, in my experience.

So i though it would be best to sacrifice the download change and hope the ads bring in the income thanks Comments THanks. that was my though. in previous experience (and i dont have a huge amount - 4 apps in total) when i put them on for free, ive had 100 - 3000 downloads. when i put them on for a charge, i get <50.

Or you could just make two, a free version with ads and a payed version without ads and more features. Comments It depend son weather you think the app is going to get enough downloads.

AdMob is a good option and has a variety of categories for different ads. Comments Not a fan of RevMob, it’s too intrusive and continuously pops out every time a user enters a page.
