Open-First recently conducted a survey of 110 App Store developers to examine how much they’ve been earning vs. their initial expectations. Nearly half of respondents — 48% — revealed that they’re earning more than the expected.
The study was conducted between August 30th and September 10th, 2010 via online questionnaire, followed-up by phone. In the end, 78% of respondents rated themselves as satisfied, very satisfied, or somewhat satisfied with the experience of publishing to the App Store, and 99% said they’d continue to do so.
Of course, not all developers surveyed were happy. A full 28% said they’re making less than expected. Still, they must be hopeful, as nearly 100% of participants said they’d continue to sell mobile apps through Apple.
