User bat Amazon AppStore for iOS, Google's revenue, "said game by game developer TinyCo

TinyCo, Andreessen Horowitz, a mobile game, still supported by the start of another important game developer, presented the show at the revenue per user of Amazon AppStore is much higher than what is on Google.

The company, which has more # 25 and the iOS and Android games film is Watched his Tiny Village, simulation, game, prehistoric theme is available, Google, Apple and Amazon, three department stores and found that when you stop the platform, Amazon store, 80% better monetize iTunes user. If you break the at Amazon Kindle Tablet market, 43% better than iPads to make money. If Amazon is even better than Apple 's, their number.

This is not in the Google. The numbers are not so bad, TinyCo if you look at the Google store. If you look at only the Android phones (except for any device, Amazon, because they are on the phone), these devices generates revenues of 82 percent of iPhone users which do.

Update: some readers complain about an isolated case of a single developer, what are clearly not representative of the market as a whole, the pointing device. Then this is the thing: TinyCo is one of the few dozen that game developers actually took the top three supermarkets in the film. Amazon app market is still small published-purchase, and only the beta a few weeks ago, this is a really that many developers, who have a considerable ARPU (average revenue per user) information.

And here are the numbers: TinyCo is a little different from the most recent data, Analytics, mobile service provider, swirl in a basket with three shops available through applications. Burst found that every $ 1 of each user in the iOS store, shop Amazon generated $ 0.47 and $ 0,23 Google product inventory. Analysis of the Vortex for more than 150,000 applications, so they have a very large sample size.

Another great, independent developer also shared some promising statistics Amazon AppStore a few weeks ago: Storm8 said that $ 700,000 in revenue during its first month in the Amazon store.

However, I think a few things, first of all, in addition to data stored in Amazon. 1. Google does not handle the payments for the years that have experience in the Amazon and is e-commerce-oriented model of income management. (2) the lack of credit cards to the database to Amazon and Apple, they want to pay, and enter your personal information consumers creates friction. (3) at the beginning of the Amazon to sell only turn to early adopters who have more disposable income. Revenue per user, the number of times you can trend, as a tool, or the public platform. Amazon AppStore 4) is available only to us customers. ITunes and Google numbers game on average less profitable international markets for their clients.
