If other developers' apps have a market value within ($0.05, $0.99], but yours has a market value of $0.05, why should they raise their price above $0.99?
- vais 17y agoFor the sake of preservation of the market itself. If my only option is to make my app free just because others have discounted their work beyond reason, I may opt to no longer deliver any new products to such a market (give up on it), and pursue other markets instead. This benefits neither the developers nor the consumers.
- Frazzydee 17y agoThat's a good argument for why Apple should allows you to set a lower price, but I still don't understand why other developers should raise their prices. Especially if $0.99 is the optimal market price that generates the highest revenue, and the only consequence is you leaving the market.
