According to Android market place agreements we cannot have a subscription based model for an app in the store i.e., free for first 1 month and then pay for following months.
It is either free or paid!
What if we develop our own service to track the usage of the app and suggest purchase for further use? Will this violate the Market place terms and conditions?
If yes, how can it be done?
Are there any apps in market place which follow a similar model?
It would of great help to find answers here!
Thanks for your time,
Theja

iplaytonesapps.com has just launched for all Android App Developers and Android Users.
We are offering Featured placement on the home page for the next 3 months (first 250 apps uploaded) by Android Developers on iPlayTonesApps.com. The first 1,000 apps uploaded will also get FREE advertisement banners for the next 4 months on iPlayTonesApps.com.
It's FREE to create a user account and very simple to upload. There is no approval process! No subscription or hidden fees! High payouts for every app sale you make.
iPlayTonesApps.com is one of the six other major Android App websites out there and is expected to quickly surpass most of those website within the next 10 months, due to four simple reasons.
First and foremost, it's entirely FREE to create a user account, upload paid or free Android Apps, sell and monitor your sales reports on our website. Second, we are the first mobile website to offer Credits with great discounts on all app purchases for our customers (ensuring a higher sales number for our developers) and no other Android App website offers such flexibility as we do. When a user makes a purchase with our Credits, the Developer doesn't loose any money for the sale, as iPlayTones, LLC will be taking the loss. The third and probably most important reason to use iPlayTonesApps.com, is that we do not have any monthly or yearly subscription fees like most of the other Android App websites. Last, but not least, you will make high payouts for all your paid apps. Each user account has an up-to-the-minute sales monitoring system that is easy to view and make a payout request.
With our easy to use-interface and our sales monitoring system, there is no need to wait until the next day to see your sales revenue. You are sure to enjoy the iPlayTonesApps.com website!

AppsBidder requires no sign up fees and apps can be uploaded straight to AppsBidder.com and only when developers make a sale are they charged a 17% commission rate (compared to Google and Apple’s 30% commission rate).

Hello,
Now a days, mobiles are really helpful devices in any industry. People use mobile phones to surf the internet or shop from online store. It is useful to grow your business via using different applications. Is it good to develop mobile application for business or not? There are too many companies available who develop mobile applications. How to choose best mobile application development company from all of them?
Thank You,
Calvin Hewitt
It is ofcourse possible to develop an app for a business and it is generally not very expensive unless you want the app to do a lot. Not knowing what business you are in, if I were in your position I would do the following:
1 - Figure out what you want the app to do (provide a service or provide information)
2 - Have similar functionality on your corporate website with maybe a mobile version (ability to place orders, or track them, or view information)
3 - Search for app developers online in your country/city so that you can personally meet them for the next step
4 - Contact some developers with what you have in mind and ask for a quote for developing and maintaining the app, at the same time you will figure out what they can and can't do + see examples of apps they have done in the past to judge their capability
5 - If you feel confident you can try and search for and contact app developers in other parts of the world like China, India, etc who may do the job cheaper and as good
Good luck Calvin!
I think android development has huge potential of being a viable business but there is a lot of competition. From making my own app as a hobby and releasing it getting the download isn't guaranteed. I putting all eggs in one basket hoping an app will be a great busies is a risk one of the main reasons it is a sideline project/hobby for me, and maybe there is a slim chance of something i make gives the security to make it my own job.
Hello All,
I've been a mostly lurking member of XDA for a long time. I'm a tech journalist writing for The Inquirer (www.theinquirer.net) but I'm posting about my new role, which includes taking over the software reviews in Computer Shopper (UK) - the biggest selling print mag of its type. For the first time, 'software' is going to include apps. So I'm inviting devs and publishers to submit their apps for review consideration.
Rules are as follows:
1. Your app must be finished. It's in your own best interest not to send a work in progress.
2. Your app must be available in the Google Play store, and if there is a paid option, I need access to the full version via code, no apks please. Also outline all IAP please, so I know when I review.
3. Games are welcome but I'll be upfront and say that apps are more likely to get space than games, but try your luck if you want.
4. Apps must be new - either since the start of 2016, or had a major update/revamp/version
5. Submitting an app does not mean you will get reviewed. There are a millions of apps on the store, and I get two pages a month for software.
If you're interested, please PM me with details of the app you're proposing and I'll let you know if it will suit our audience.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Chris.

Hi,
I might not have found the correct place to post this so feel free to move it.
I have no knowledge or experience at all of building Android apps but I have an idea that I would like to realize if possible.
My main goal is to get an answer if my idea is doable and if anyone here are interested to develop this app and sell it to me.
I’ll try to describe the app as brief as possible.
It’s a automated stock buying and selling app. I have this quantitive analysis strategy for the stock market that generates an e-mail when a stock has a good edge for buying and a new one when it’s time to sell, it has over 80% success ratio in over 36 months. So what I would like is to have an android app to automatically read that information in the e-mail and buy the stocks on a online broker with low commission fees (m.degiro.se). For example you tell in the app that every trade should be 2k € and when a e-mail gets to the inbox the app buys the stock for that value at the price stated in the e-mail.
I think you get the idea. So the main question is if you can have a background task that automatically triggers when a e-mail enters to a specific mailbox and does a specific action on a mobile webpage.
Please send me a PM if you are interested in knowing more and maybe work on this project.
