Same happens with ratings. You can have the same app, one paid and one free, the free one will be rated lower because of perception.
If a person pays for a thing they are more invested in making it something worthwhile and thus less attacks.
If something is free and any issue, it suddenly is horrible because they never associated value with it from the beginning.
It is a psychological thing and plays into many parts of the market.
- matkoniecz 3y ago> the free one will be rated lower because of perception. Not only that. I would buy paid app only if convinced that it is worth it. I am willing to try free app - and in case that it is garbage, rate it accordingly. Also, free versions often have strong limitation or massive amounts of ads: so they are worse than paid one.
- Retric 3y agoYou are missing the major differences between the users and apps being compared. There’s self selection, if you pay for something then it you’re more selective in what you get. “Free” apps are also worse due to inserting advertising.
