How to make app on your own?

How much money does the average iPhone app make?

  • Obviously the top apps in the App Store make a killing, but on average how much does an app make? or haw many downloads does the average app get?

  • Answer:

    For more insight you can download the monthly publications of App Store analytics company Distimo. http://www.distimo.com/publications/ The average is difficult to obtain although Google recently added download tiers. Based on that information, about 80% of the PAID applications have been downloaded less than 100 times. Moreover only 2 paid applications have been downloaded more than 500,000 times to date (May 2011 data). Based on this analysis, on average, paid Android applications have been downloaded 1650 times from Google Android Market. Multiplied by the average catalog application price (about 3.25 USD), the average earnings are 5350 USD. This figure is likely to be higher in the Apple App Store for iPhone / iPad.
