It's easy to price too high though. Would you rather sell 10 at £4.99, or 100 at 99p? Though of course I'm not saying you should price at 99p just because everyone else does, just remember that generally, the higher price your app, the less people will buy it. Find the optimal price point for your app, to make the most profit.
eBooks do kind of have an upper hand though — people have been buying paper books for years, at least it has a proven base price for the market (plus a very low piracy rate). While on the other hand, as you said, the majority of people still don't put a value on software…
- Retric 17y agoI think the publisher needs to compare their cost, risk, and proffit in the old system vs the new system. It's not just the average price that droped but also the risk of printing copy's that they don't sell. A reduction in risk often results in a cost reduction. However, hardbacks have a significant price primium because softcopy's are still their for the price consious. A policy of charging 15$ for everything less than a year (or 6 months) old and 8$ for everthing older than that would provide the same benifit.
