$100 for a professional app that helps you in your day-to-day work is a completely reasonable price.
Assuming their (rather low compared to North America) rate of $40/hour for a developer, if this app saves you in aggregate more than 2.5 hours of work, you've already made your money back.
- joshcrowder 12y agoThe average iOS dev in the UK is not $40/hour that works out to be £187 a day! From what we see the going rate is around £300-500
- lmm 12y agoFor a freelancer or a consultant via a full-service agency, sure, but you're paying for other things there. For a conventionally employed professional I rather doubt you'd pay 300/day (and if you are, tell me more!)
- monkeyprojects 12y agoThat is your average contractor contract rate. The actual cost will be 10-20% more than that to cover agency costs (so £350-£600) a day. Permanent employees will probably cost less than that. Say £50k a year or approx. £250 a day...
- davidjgraph 12y agoRegarding this, I've found you need the case to be far more clear cut before people buy an app to save money. My ballpark is more like x10, i.e. they need to feel appropriately 25+ hours worth of work will be saved before purchasing. Remember, also, the fully loaded cost of an employee is at least x2 their salary.
- smackfu 12y agoTrue as long as you are an indie developer.
