I don't want to burst your bubble, but you probably won't make enough off it to live. Let say there are 5,000 android developers in the world (you can probably get the exact number off Google somewhere), out of those maybe 10-20% are doing it professionally.
Lets say you can convince 10% of those developers to buy your app, that's 50-100 sales. At your price point that's between $2,500 - $5,000 in revenue.
(these are back of the envelope calculations, so I may be mistaken here, but it seems unlikely there's a huge market).
You might be better off selling it as a service rather than as a product, because at least that way you'll turn it into a recurring revenue stream rather than a one-off one and won't have to deal with piracy.
- goingitalone 15y agoAre there so few Android devs out there?
- ig1 15y agoEven if you assume 50,000 Android developers the numbers don't come out great. My number might be wrong but it's probably not wrong by two orders of magnitude. Update: https://www.mylookout.com/appgenome https://www.mylookout.com/appgenome reports that number of developers on android between Aug 10-Feb 11 grew by 4,000. So the number of android devs is probably in the low to mid tens of thousands.
