Just remember that while there\u2019s money to be made in apps, not all are raking in top dollar earnings.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re trying to get startup funding for your app, I explore how to best pitch your idea to investors in this video.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jq7_A8EfkdU\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>In this article, we\u2019re going to break down how exactly apps are making money or how much do app developers make per download and what you should know before diving in.<\/p>\n<h2>How App Developers Make Money: Free Vs Paid<\/h2>\n<p>When developing an app, there are many important questions to ask and consider, and deciding on offering a paid app or a free app is a big one.<\/p>\n<p>After all, people tend to want to try out an app first before they buy it, and more often than not, there\u2019s a similar\u2014and free\u2014app already out there.<\/p>\n<p>Considering who your users are and why they would be willing to purchase your app is a crucial question that could determine how successful your mobile app does on the market.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2264 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/architsingh.com\/webioticnew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image2-3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"738\" height=\"384\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>How Much Do App Developers Make Per Download \u2013 Paid Apps<\/h3>\n<p>While it\u2019s obvious that paid apps earn some money per download as opposed to free apps that charge nothing, what makes paid apps earn more is also their perceived value and loyal user base.<\/p>\n<p>If a user decides they want to learn Japanese but don\u2019t have the cash to spend on in-person courses, paying $5 for a language-learning app is going to look like a great way to accomplish their goal.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, they may choose a paid app over a free app because they want to learn the most they can and ultimately have the best experience, which they believe they\u2019ll find in a paid product vs a freebie product.<\/p>\n<p>For apps with a big user base, they can make quite a profit using paid-for apps. For businesses that simply want users interacting with and experiencing their brand, a paid app may not be the best route.<\/p>\n<p>For example, businesses like banks might offer a free mobile app, not primarily as a source of revenue, but to put their brand out there and enhance their user experience through free online features, such as mobile banking.<\/p>\n<h3>Free Apps<\/h3>\n<p>With free mobile apps, there is nothing stopping a user from downloading and trying out the app. Something as simple as a catchy app name or thumbnail image could get users downloading an application on a whim to see if they like it.<br \/>What some businesses don\u2019t realize is that free apps have the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2012\/08\/26\/how-free-apps-can-make-more-money-than-paid-apps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-abc=\"true\">potential to make far more<\/a>\u00a0in revenue than paid apps.<\/p>\n<p>After all, they typically have more downloads since they make it so simple and easy for users to try their app for free.<\/p>\n<h2>How Much Money Can You Make From An App<\/h2>\n<p>There are a few ways businesses can monetize their apps beyond charging an initial download fee. After all, while brand recognition is great, at the end of the day, businesses want apps to help them generate revenue in some way.<\/p>\n<p>Looking back at our bank app example, banks who offer an easy-to-use mobile banking app won\u2019t charge users a download fee, but getting users on their mobile website using their services for free can help convert leads and upsell their current client base.<\/p>\n<p>Offering fast and easy services will keep customers loyal, happy, and ready to use the same company for additional services, such as a loan or credit line.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2263 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/architsingh.com\/webioticnew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image1-3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"738\" height=\"384\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With that said, every app\u2019s business model is different and each one will have their own monetization strategy.<\/p>\n<h2>Below Are A Few Of The Most Popular Methods To Make Money On An App:<\/h2>\n<h3>#1 Ads<\/h3>\n<p>What do popular YouTube channels, blogs, and mobile apps have in common? They have the potential to make big dollars in advertising alone.<\/p>\n<p>If your online product is bringing in heavy traffic, advertisers will want face time with those audiences.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to how much money apps can make, advertising plays a pretty big role. It\u2019s one of the most common and effortless ways to make money from a free mobile app.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>In 2017, the mobile advertising spending globally was a whopping $<a href=\"http:\/\/www.businessofapps.com\/ads\/research\/mobile-app-advertising-cpm-rates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-abc=\"true\">107 billion<\/a>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>App advertisements come in a few varieties:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2261 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/architsingh.com\/webioticnew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/how-much-do-app-developers-make-per-download-1-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Image Source:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/martechtoday.com\/state-mobile-ad-blocking-200622\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-abc=\"true\">Martechtoday<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Banner ads: These are typically found at the top or bottom of the screen and are considered more subtle than other types of ads, such as pop ups or full-screen ads. They allow users to continue using the app as normal since they only take up minimal screen real estate, but as a result, they have lower\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.adjust.com\/glossary\/ctr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-abc=\"true\">click-through rates<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Video Ads: Video ads often play automatically and can last anywhere from 10 to 30 seconds. Some apps will use video apps to reward users by watching the ad. For example, many game apps will present users with the option to watch an ad in exchange for points or some form of in-app currency.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Native Ads: Native ads have a more natural integration within the app and match the look and feel of the media platform it\u2019s being presented on. It can come in the form of sponsored content or even videos.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Incentive Ads: Everyone just wants to use an app and not be bombarded with annoying advertisements. This is where incentivized ads comes into play. These ads are specifically designed to reward users by having them perform some action\u2014be in fill out out a short survey, sharing content, and so on.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Interstitial Ads: These ad types come in the form of full-screen pop-up ads triggered at a specific time in the app, such as when a user first opens the app. The user has the option of viewing the content or closing the ad.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ads are a tricky business and if they\u2019re not done right, they can annoy users and deter them from using an app. But when done smartly, ads can generate big revenue for an app through clicks.<\/p>\n<h3>#2 In-App Purchases<\/h3>\n<p>The in-app purchase\u2014or \u201cfreemium\u201d\u2014model is also an incredibly popular monetization strategy for free apps.<\/p>\n<p>Apps will allow users to download the app for free, but offer in-app products\u2014which could be virtual or physical. This can come in the form of app bonuses, extra points, block ads, reveal new app content, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>These in-app transactions are conducted via the app store and the app developer or owner will get a commision from each one.<\/p>\n<p>This strategy can be further broken down into three categories:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Subscription: This lets users unlock bonus features and content through a monthly or annual subscription.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Consumable: These purchasable items are used only one time, most often in game apps (such as points or virtual currency).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Non-consumable: This means that the items or features are permanent, such as unlocking additional app functionality or purchasing the ability to block ads.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2265 \" src=\"https:\/\/architsingh.com\/webioticnew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image3-3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"738\" height=\"373\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>#3 Referrals<\/h3>\n<p>Referral marketing is similar to an advertising strategy where content about an affiliate business is placed somewhere visible in the app.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on installs and clicks, users receive rewards. This model can be used to advertise other applications, in-app ads, or ad for services and products.<\/p>\n<p>Affiliate network companies exist for the purpose of finding the right affiliates for a given mobile app. There are also tools and programs that can integrate this strategy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Affiliate marketing campaigns offer:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cost per impression: payments are earned depending on how many impressions are made.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Cost per click: payments are earned depending on how many clicks are made on an app ad.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Cost per view: payments are earned depending on how many times a video ad is viewed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Cost per install: payments are earned every time there is an install of the promoted app through the advertisement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>#4 Sponsorship<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2262 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/architsingh.com\/webioticnew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/how-much-do-app-developers-make-per-download-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2240\" height=\"1400\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Image source:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/fabrikbrands.com\/how-to-get-corporate-sponsorship\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-abc=\"true\">Fabrikbrands<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This form of app monetization involves teaming up with brands who will contribute various rewards to users who complete activities or actions within the app.<\/p>\n<p>So while there isn\u2019t an actual dedicated space for a typical advertisement, there is a sponsorship that has been integrated with the app functionality. The app owner will earn a piece of the revenue made through this app sponsorship.<\/p>\n<p>An example of how this looks is the following: A weight-loss app may partner with a nutrition bar company who might offer a coupon or discount for their product to the app users who have achieved a specific goal, such as meeting their monthly target weight.<\/p>\n<p>Once the user buys a nutrition bar or other product from the sponsored company, the app owner will get a share of the money.<\/p>\n<h3>Top Contenders<\/h3>\n<p>There are a variety of ways to make money from apps, but in-app purchases and and in-app ads are the revenue models that are the highest earning.<\/p>\n<div style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 26px; font-family: 'PT Sans',sans-serif; font-weight: 400; padding: 30px 20px; margin: 26px -15px; background: #fcfcfc; border-style: solid; border-color: #f7f7f7;\">\n<h3><strong><em>In 2017, global revenue from in-app purchases was estimated at $37 billion.

For businesses that simply want users interacting with and experiencing their brand, a paid app may not be the best route.<\/p><p>For example, businesses like banks might offer a free mobile app, not primarily as a source of revenue, but to put their brand out there and enhance their user experience through free online features, such as mobile banking.<\/p><h3>Free Apps<\/h3><p>With free mobile apps, there is nothing stopping a user from downloading and trying out the app. Something as simple as a catchy app name or thumbnail image could get users downloading an application on a whim to see if they like it.<br \/>What some businesses don\u2019t realize is that free apps have the <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2012\/08\/26\/how-free-apps-can-make-more-money-than-paid-apps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">potential to make far more<\/a> in revenue than paid apps.<\/p><p>After all, they typically have more downloads since they make it so simple and easy for users to try their app for free.<\/p><h2>How Much Money Can You Make From an App<\/h2><p>There are a few ways businesses can monetize their apps beyond charging an initial download fee. After all, while brand recognition is great, at the end of the day, businesses want apps to help them generate revenue in some way.<\/p><p>Looking back at our bank app example, banks who offer an easy-to-use mobile banking app won\u2019t charge users a download fee, but getting users on their mobile website using their services for free can help convert leads and upsell their current client base.<\/p><p>Offering fast and easy services will keep customers loyal, happy, and ready to use the same company for additional services, such as a loan or credit line.<\/p><p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-983\" src=\"https:\/\/architsingh.com\/webioticnew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image1-3.png\" alt=\"How Much Do App Developers Make Per Download?\" width=\"738\" height=\"384\" \/><\/p><p>With that said, every app\u2019s business model is different and each one will have their own monetization strategy.<\/p><h2>Below are a few of the most popular methods to make money on an app:<\/h2><h3>#1 Ads<\/h3><p>What do popular YouTube channels, blogs, and mobile apps have in common? They have the potential to make big dollars in advertising alone.<\/p><p>If your online product is bringing in heavy traffic, advertisers will want face time with those audiences.<\/p><p>When it comes to how much money apps can make, advertising plays a pretty big role. It\u2019s one of the most common and effortless ways to make money from a free mobile app.<\/p><p><strong><em>In 2017, the mobile advertising spending globally was a whopping $<a href=\"http:\/\/www.businessofapps.com\/ads\/research\/mobile-app-advertising-cpm-rates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">107 billion<\/a>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><p><strong>App advertisements come in a few varieties:<\/strong><\/p><p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-991\" src=\"https:\/\/architsingh.com\/webioticnew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/how-much-do-app-developers-make-per-download-1-1.png\" alt=\"how much do app developers make per download \" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" \/>Image Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/martechtoday.com\/state-mobile-ad-blocking-200622\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Martechtoday<\/a><\/p><ul><li>Banner ads: These are typically found at the top or bottom of the screen and are considered more subtle than other types of ads, such as pop ups or full-screen ads. They allow users to continue using the app as normal since they only take up minimal screen real estate, but as a result, they have lower <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adjust.com\/glossary\/ctr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">click-through rates<\/a>.<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>Video Ads: Video ads often play automatically and can last anywhere from 10 to 30 seconds. Some apps will use video apps to reward users by watching the ad. For example, many game apps will present users with the option to watch an ad in exchange for points or some form of in-app currency.<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>Native Ads: Native ads have a more natural integration within the app and match the look and feel of the media platform it\u2019s being presented on. It can come in the form of sponsored content or even videos.<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>Incentive Ads: Everyone just wants to use an app and not be bombarded with annoying advertisements. This is where incentivized ads comes into play. These ads are specifically designed to reward users by having them perform some action\u2014be in fill out out a short survey, sharing content, and so on.<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>Interstitial Ads: These ad types come in the form of full-screen pop-up ads triggered at a specific time in the app, such as when a user first opens the app. The user has the option of viewing the content or closing the ad.<\/li><\/ul><p>Ads are a tricky business and if they\u2019re not done right, they can annoy users and deter them from using an app. But when done smartly, ads can generate big revenue for an app through clicks.<\/p><h3>#2 In-App Purchases<\/h3><p>The in-app purchase\u2014or \u201cfreemium\u201d\u2014model is also an incredibly popular monetization strategy for free apps.<\/p><p>Apps will allow users to download the app for free, but offer in-app products\u2014which could be virtual or physical. This can come in the form of app bonuses, extra points, block ads, reveal new app content, and so on.<\/p><p>These in-app transactions are conducted via the app store and the app developer or owner will get a commision from each one.<\/p><p>This strategy can be further broken down into three categories:<\/p><ul><li>Subscription: This lets users unlock bonus features and content through a monthly or annual subscription.<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>Consumable: These purchasable items are used only one time, most often in game apps (such as points or virtual currency).<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>Non-consumable: This means that the items or features are permanent, such as unlocking additional app functionality or purchasing the ability to block ads.<\/li><\/ul><p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-984\" src=\"https:\/\/architsingh.com\/webioticnew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image3-3.png\" alt=\"How Much Do App Developers Make Per Download?\" width=\"738\" height=\"373\" \/><\/p><h3>#3 Referrals<\/h3><p>Referral marketing is similar to an advertising strategy where content about an affiliate business is placed somewhere visible in the app.<\/p><p>Depending on installs and clicks, users receive rewards. This model can be used to advertise other applications, in-app ads, or ad for services and products.<\/p><p>Affiliate network companies exist for the purpose of finding the right affiliates for a given mobile app. There are also tools and programs that can integrate this strategy.<\/p><p><strong>Affiliate marketing campaigns offer:<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Cost per impression: payments are earned depending on how many impressions are made.<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>Cost per click: payments are earned depending on how many clicks are made on an app ad.<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>Cost per view: payments are earned depending on how many times a video ad is viewed.<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>Cost per install: payments are earned every time there is an install of the promoted app through the advertisement.<\/li><\/ul><h3>#4 Sponsorship<\/h3><p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-992\" src=\"https:\/\/architsingh.com\/webioticnew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/how-much-do-app-developers-make-per-download-2.jpg\" alt=\"how much money do app developers make per download \" width=\"2240\" height=\"1400\" \/>Image source: <a href=\"http:\/\/fabrikbrands.com\/how-to-get-corporate-sponsorship\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fabrikbrands<\/a><\/p><p>This form of app monetization involves teaming up with brands who will contribute various rewards to users who complete activities or actions within the app.<\/p><p>So while there isn\u2019t an actual dedicated space for a typical advertisement, there is a sponsorship that has been integrated with the app functionality. The app owner will earn a piece of the revenue made through this app sponsorship.<\/p><p>An example of how this looks is the following: A weight-loss app may partner with a nutrition bar company who might offer a coupon or discount for their product to the app users who have achieved a specific goal, such as meeting their monthly target weight.<\/p><p>Once the user buys a nutrition bar or other product from the sponsored company, the app owner will get a share of the money.<\/p><h3>Top Contenders<\/h3><p>There are a variety of ways to make money from apps, but in-app purchases and and in-app ads are the revenue models that are the highest earning.<\/p><div style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 26px; font-family: 'PT Sans',sans-serif; font-weight: 400; padding: 30px 20px; margin: 26px -15px; background: #fcfcfc; border-style: solid; border-color: #f7f7f7;\"><h3><strong><em>In 2017, global revenue from in-app purchases was estimated at $37 billion.
