We have a lower cost competitor, and I've never seen that factor into anyone's decision to go one way or the other. Well, maybe once or twice, but it's not a huge differentiator to most people. By far, our biggest "competitor" is lack of knowledge. People don't know about us or our competitor. We're not trying to steal customers from each other. Instead, we just need to educate people that we exist at all. That's been my experience in most of these cases, especially for smaller apps that do one little thing. A huge amount of our effort in the beginning (and still to this day) involves letting people know we exist. Trust me, that takes a lot more work than just a weekend. As for the "doubtful in a weekend" comment, I just find it highly doubtful that anyone can build a useful app that includes billing in a weekend. Payment systems are a real bitch. Plus, it's easy to gloss over the fact that "built in a weekend" usually means MVP, or even sub-MVP. From that point you have to keep building, market, promote and make sales. It's not like you just build it, flip the switch, and sit back collecting checks. It just doesn't work that way.
