When only 1K apps have more than 50K users, it makes one wonder how many app-only startups will survive in the long run. Unless it's for business it seems that even 50K users on all three major platforms wouldn't support even one employee.
- verelo 14y agoAs a co-founder of a startup with much more than 50k users, this 1k app metric shocks me. Does anyone know how Onavo come up with that metric? I've installed their app once, but removed it fairly soon after (so they probably only have a small sample of what I actually use) and i don't see any way for us as a company to integrate. Edit: Cleaned up my question.
- guiambros 14y agoBesides, there's the bias of Onavo's users. Given their product, they tend to be more tech savvy, frequent travelers, users of (limited) intl data plans. I'm skeptical their sample would be a good representation of the mainstream app audience.
