If I ask you about the App Store and its uses, you would tell me it is an app where you download apps for your phone but if I ask you how much you have spent on apps from the App Store, you might likely look at me strangely and say, “Really?”
Don’t look at me like that, please. Once upon a time, lol. While downloads are free, you would definitely spend your money subscribing to some applications or paying for upgrades on the app.
Many apps in the App Store are not expensive to use. Some have low subscription fees or none at all. The question now is: what’s the most expensive app on the App Store and why are they expensive?
It has been discovered that the most expensive apps on the App Store are those designed for very specific purposes, like medical reference, legal reference, multimedia use, advanced accounting tools or video and photo editing software.
There are many expensive apps in the App Store but in this article, I’ll acquaint you with 3 of these most expensive apps. I will also show you the reasons why apps are expensive on the App Store. This is going to be so much fun. Shall we?
First, let’s understand what makes an app expensive.
What Makes an App Expensive?
There are many factors that contribute to the high cost of an app. Let’s discover some of them.
-
Cost of developing the app
If the app developer spent a lot of money on the development process, it might increase the cost of the app. From designing the app to testing its functionality to regular maintenance and updates of the app, money is infused into the process.
The complexity of the app, the number of contents in the app and the degree of function can also increase the cost of its development. These things make the app expensive to use.
-
Cost of subscription
There are some extra services that some apps offer that can only be unlocked by paying subscription fees. Some finance and accounting apps require a certain amount of subscription to gain access to top features and upgrades.
Most video and photo editing apps require a subscription to use some very advanced features in them. Some gaming apps require in-app purchases to move from one level to another. These make these apps expensive.
-
Licensing
There are certain apps that require licensing fees for the software and technologies that run them. These licensing fees are not cheap and this contributes to the high cost of the app too.
Now that we’ve known what makes an app expensive, let’s check out the 3 most expensive apps on the App Store.
