Paid apps vs ad-supported apps

Below is a presentation by PinchMedia that analyzes ad-supported free apps compared to paid apps.

• Only give app away free if something in it screams “FREE”
• For paid app, release ad-supported free companion only when actual collected usage data suggests equal revenue.
