The Earnings
The leader is Apple’s iOS platform with over 25% of its developers earning over $5,000 per month. Because of its continued market penetration, Android is also a well regarded platform. 16% of its app developers earn over $5,000 per month in revenue. However, it is worth noting that Android is much more ‘top heavy’ in terms of earnings with much of its total revenue being earned by its top developers. The iOS platform has its overall earnings more spread out increasing your odds to make money via their app market.
With an estimated global revenue of $25 billion in 2014 and an estimated total global revenue of $46 billion by 2016, apps are big business. Video games are notable for their high earnings, and their reputation trickles down to their miniature companions. There are some notable earnings racked in by apps. Developer Supercell have their “Clash of Clans” generating $1,118,457 per day in revenue. King Digital Entertainment’s “Candy Crush” earns $884,676 per day through in app purchases. Most game apps are free, but developers put bread on their plates through in-game purchases. If you’re not a game designer there are other categories with impressive earnings without the association to gaming.
The relatively simplistic iSteam (a $0.99 app which simulates fogged glass on your phone screen) saw earnings of over $100,000 within one month. Joke app iFart is another simple app that earned over $100,000 in just two weeks. One Christmas alone saw earnings of over $25,000. On the Android side the $3.99 Car Locator app was reported as earning roughly $13,000 per month. The Advanced Task Killer is an interesting case for an app. The developer earns over $10,000 a month through a combination of its $1 selling price upfront and renting ad space. Lastly, Android GUI app Beautiful Widgets has been a notable success story. With a cost of $2.49 a piece and over 500,000 downloads, its developers have seen over 1 million dollars in revenue.
