Interesting Experiment by Writeroom Developer

hogbaysoftware:

WriteRoom.iPhone $4.99 daily sales compared to giving away for free over the weekend. Next question is how many will sell at $0.99. And what price to stop at. I do need to support the sync server, but so far that’s not turning out to be very expensive.

  • 08/20/2009 9 @ $4.99
  • 08/21/2009 4280 @ Free
  • 08/22/2009 7166 @ Free
  • 08/23/2009 4901 @ Free
  • 08/24/2009 88 @ $0.99
  • 08/25/2009 56 @ $0.99

Update I just added mondays numbers 88 @ $0.99. Nice, but in the short term I guess I’ve lost money on the deal, since 88 @ $0.99 doesn’t make up for the lost weekend plust Friday. But I have to say that as a developer this whole experiments been a lot more fun then just sticking with the $4.99 price. Nice to know that I have around 15,000 new users (well expirimenters anyway).

Update Added Tuesday’s numbers, 56 @ $0.99.
