Hi guys, I’m looking for some information about cost of server for an application. I don’t know enough about applications but I have to prepare a financial analysis for my student’s work.
I have to value creation of mobile app which will be lance to the market with ebooks. It has to have a base of 100 000 books and 1 million users. I valued all attachments but I don’t know what and how much it costs to be saved on a server. I’m interested in costs of rent and purchase of that kind of server.
Thanks in advance for your help. All the best
Probably 500 $ per month.

500$ sounds about right. If you start your own app there are ways to reduce the price.

Interested in Helping with a Mobility Research Study?
We are conducting user studies to understand where people go and what location-based applications they use in real settings. The study involves you installing an application on your Android phone and running it for the duration of the study. We will also ask you to fill out a survey.
Participants will be included in a raffle for Amazon.com gift cards for up to $50. We require that participants are of age 18 or up and have an Android phone.

Hi, I'm a student who develops for Windows Phone 7 who doesn't have the resources to adquire a device, but I've found a way to get one, and I need your kind help. I've published three apps to the marketplace, which you can find searching Leonardo Ferrer, or they're called: InterestCalculator, Resistor Calculator and Letter Tap. I would appreciate if you help me by downloading them, they're small, nice and free, and rate them with three stars or more. That would help me getting my device and develop apps and games for the Windows Phone 7 community.
Thanks a lot for your help
Lol, What?
I'm guessing he wants us to download and use his apps so that he gets revenue from the ads in his apps (considering they're apparently free).
Therefore with this increased revenue he can then buy a phone.
Sounds very SPAMMY to me
I'll do it just cos I'm nice ^.^
Hello,
I would like to understand how free social mobile applications make money?
Take for exemple Tinder: it is worth millions of dollars, the designer of the app has made millions, but how since the app is free? I do not see any ad when using the app.
Thanks!
It doesn't.
Investors can be quite patient. They want a business model to grow first and find a revenue stream later.
Google for "how does Tinder make money" and you'll see a few articles on this.
Mr.Koala is right - for the most part they don't. Even some extremely popular tools valued at millions (or billions) have never made a dime. Ideally, someone will be able to retroactively monetize the property, which is what the valuation is based on - potential monetization. However, the cynics among us will point out that certain historic economic bubbles have been burst based on the misplaced hope of future monetization.
Google itself originally was free service. Once you have user base you can always add paid functions.
when they collect big user base it is possible to sell ads and other users information for 3'th parties
And then you have mobile ads on top of that... But like said before, it's usually the investors that pay all the money.
Sorry if this is not the right place to put this. Mods can feel free to adjust if necessary, but I have an opportunity to share:
Seeds, my company is offering $100 to developers who integrate our SDK and push it live in the iOS or Android store.
Seeds incentivizes non-paying users to make purchases by routing a portion of the in-app purchases to small businesses in developing countries via microloans. We have found social good is really powerful in converting paying customers as well as engagement and retention.
Let me know if you're interested and we can get you set up in the pay-to-integrate program! Or let me know if you have any questions and I can help with that as well.
Best,
Dave
Hello everyone,
We're trying to create a new open-source app distribution platform named Spheris, using blockchain technology. We are really interested in your thoughts – both devs and users. We're also open for possible collabs for those who are interested.
We’re utilizing Ethereum’s blockchain technology to build Spheris as a decentralized platform. This makes a lot of cool things possible:
No registration and transaction fees, as opposed to traditional app marketplaces who charge up to $100 for registration and 30% per each transaction. No technical restrictions or censorship. Optional anonymity. Forget about the need for credit card companies or banks – you will be able to buy and sell apps using our digital currency (Spheris tokens), with the option to exchange for other digital currencies (such as Ethereum or Bitcoin).
Customers will be able to purchase apps without going through registration and without credit cards. We’re also trying to accommodate devs whose apps have been removed from Google Play for questionable reasons.
Your Feedback = Extremely Important
We are in the early process of gathering valuable feedback from devs, and see if this is a platform that devs would like to be on. For users – do you guys see this as a platform you would buy apps from? Would love to start a discussion! For devs - have you had bad experiences with app stores (de-listing, ranking issues, not being accepted etc)? Does the concept of decentralization sound like something you might want to be a part of?
If you need more info, have a look at spheris.io or just ask me here.
Your questions and feedback are much appreciated,
Thanks
PS - apologies if this isn't the right forum for this topic!
