- DanielBMarkham 18y agoThis is true. But you don't always want bottom-fishers as customers. It all comes down to a trade: your app's perceived value versus the user's time/money. You can try to fake-out the trade by making it a free app, but then a) you're just competing for eyeballs, which makes you a media company, and b) any incremental improvement will also be seen as free by the end-user. It's a lot harder to price up from free to one dollar than to price up from one dollar to ten dollars. And maybe you're the coolest media content provider out there, but I'd rather compete on value rather than on attention span. It's more comfortable for this nerd :)
