How much annual income would you require to make supporting this product worthwhile?
If out of 50,000 users you could secure a $10 annual subscription fee on 20,000 users then certainly it's worthwhile ($200,000).
Thanks for the kind words! Certainly 200,000 would make it more than worthwhile- I'd venture to say even half of that would be worthwhile for me. But as MidlandDeltic said, getting to 20k annual users would be the challenge:
That figure is well out. Play Store is showing 10000 downloads. Given that you can have it on three devices, and a significant number of downloads will be for trial purposes, and given the lack if development a significant proportion of users will have moved on, I suspect the true number of users is around the 3000 mark. So to get your $200,000 you are talking around $70 per year.
While I don't have analytics in HanDBase, I suspect an even lower number on Android of weekly active users. Even discounting the slow development pace these days, many apps that people pay for and install don't continue to get used. Think of all the apps you've paid for and don't currently use- for me I have spent hundreds of dollars on apps, and probably only use half a dozen of those paid apps on a regular basis. HanDBase has several user types: Ones who use it to track everything and hence go in daily, ones who bought it and only occasionally use it, and ones who bought it but don't use it at all. Of those, I'd guess only the first group would be interested in something like a subscription. And so the exercise becomes guessing how many of the active users fall into that category!
