Android
vs. iOS, the never ending tussle will continue forever and no
stopping it! If you either own an iOS device or an Android device,
then this tussle between them will trigger your intensity of interest
to a great level.
It
is often printed in popular media and online channels that Android
holds the edge over iOS and it is topping the chart with some
splendid performing devices, OS, and applications.But,
this time, it is a different story as recent reports covered by The
Business Insider reveals that iOS developers are making out 5X more
revenue per download compared to Android’s.Let’s
analyze how far it is true and what made this possible for iOS in
this post.
The
Business Insider:
I
don’t think any of you would like me to introduce this top-notch
media that comes up with some high-quality news and reports. This
time, the popular medium has hit the market with a headline stating
Apple’s iOS has blown away the Android in terms of revenue
generated by app developers.
Often,
the reports suggested by this portal are never untrue and most
reliable. The information of app developer revenue between iOS and
Android is estimated and reported to The Business Insider by BI
Intelligence.
I
think we’ve discussed a lot about how this report was formulated
and why it is a reliable source of information.
Android
vs. iPhone app developer revenue story:
According
to the reports of The Business Insider, each app download provides an
iOS app developer with revenue of $1.0 whereas app developers of
Android can experience only $0.19 alone. Just imagine what will be
the case if there are more numbers of applications downloaded from the
app stores.
Of
course, the app developers of iOS will be experiencing better
revenues of nearly 5x what Android developers acquire for the same
amount of applications downloaded.
What
could have influenced the app revenues of iOS developers?
In
fact, the reasons may be many. However, predominant reasons that
could help you realize this is in-app purchases, mobile ad revenue,
etc. The reasons mentioned above are the major factors that have
contributed for higher revenues to iOS app developers compared to
Android app developers.
The
mobile ad revenue is found to be 77 cents for every $1 on iOS and it
is found to be 24 cents for Android. This gap between the ad revenue
can create a massive difference when the app download happens on the
higher scale.
The
in-app purchases are found to be $0.24 for Android compared to $1 of
iOS. Again the difference would be huge whenever the apps are
downloaded hugely from the app stores.
So,
the monetization gap is not just high for iOS only in per app
download but also for other factors. In total, all these factors
contribute to only one factor. The app revenue for iOS app developers
is much better compared to Android app developers.
Can
Android hit back?
An
interesting question to ask for. But, I’m confident that Android
will bounce back strongly. Though it mayn’t blew out the iOS app
developers revenue as soon as possible, it is highly possible that
they’ll find out ways to impress their app developers to relish
much better app revenues.
As
of now it is apparent that iOS app developers backed up with some
meticulous planning from Apple enjoy incredible benefits relatively
5X better than Android. However, still the customer base and download
rate of the Android apps are at the higher rate compared to the iOS
OS and applications.
So,
the both platforms with splendid performances will lock horns once
again with yet another update or enhancement and however, it will be
the user who’ll be benefited by this.
