Description
Today app analytics firm Distimo released a report that highlights the successes of Amazon's Appstore in the world of Android applications. The report compares the Appstore's performance with the Google owned Android Market, and finds that the Appstore is actually generating more income for many developers than the Market and that it is growing faster.
To compare profitability, Distimo selected all the apps from each application store that generate over $200 per day in sales revenue. It then culled that list to just those that were available from both app stores, which left it with a group of 110 apps.
Of those 110 apps, 42 of them actually generated more sales dollars on the Amazon App store than on Google's Android Market.
Part of this is due to the fact that the Appstore not only contains a higher percentage of paid apps (65 percent compared to the market's falling 32 percent), but Amazon apps sales have also benefited greatly from the release of the Amazon Kindle Fire.
