Intuitively it seems like ads ought to act as a constant revenue stream vs. the static one time cost of downloading an app. In theory, this should lead to more sustainable revenue streams. It would be interesting to see more data along these lines from more app developers.

Unless people just get sick/bored of the app the same way people tend to stop using a paid app. I think this would require a more long term analysis.

You need a lot more downloads of the ad-supported app to equal even a small one-time charge of a paid app
