Ah, the ultimate question for developers trying to maximize their profits on the Marketplace: “What should I charge for my app?” The question is simple. The answer is always far from simple. As a developer who spent intense and likely long hours making an idea come to life in the form of a Windows Phone app, honing it and tweaking it and then tweaking it once more, this decision is an agonizing one. Fear, uncertainty and doubt creep into your head… What if I overprice it? Even worse, what if I underprice it? How many apps will I have to sell/distribute to break even? Every single app situation is unique; there isn’t any single silver bullet that can solve your pricing questions. This post is meant to provide you with a set of tools to help you come to an answer to that incredibly important question.
