Free is a good option to start with. It will give your potential customers a reason to test your app - people rarely buy software nowadays without testing it. Also, it's a good way to get people to sign up for a newsletter.
- tzaman 14y agoReally? This is your advice? The guy probably spent months building the app and the best you can come up with is recommending the free option? Yes, free can also be a business model, but there needs to be a lot of consideration put into it, because even free biz models need to make money at some point. I'd say anything but free. If the app is really useful, like he says, people will pay for it (provided he has a proper landing page). I agree some free trial based period like 14 days or a month but definitely charge money for your app. It'll filter out freeloaders and let you focus on paying customers (providing great support, adding features faster...)
- japhyr 14y agoDoesn't it depend on what the app is? I know you need a business model other than just "make it free", but it seems pretty hard to give a meaningful answer without knowing anything specific about the app.
