Abstract:

Emerged mobile application stores, such as Apple App Store and Google Play, have been seen as challenging marketplaces for software entrepreneurs. Competition is tight as several thousand individual software developers and companies are offering their products on the marketplaces. Furthermore, a majority of applications are offered for free and more complex revenue models such different kinds of Freemium revenue models are becoming the dominant model of business. However, for the longevity of a software ecosystem, the well-being of application providers is crucial.
