Google Play is greater in downloads but the App Store is where the revenue is at
Given the fact that Android hold a whole lot of market share and the massive amount of Android phones there are, it shouldn’t shock anyone that Google Play sees a whole hell of a lot more download activity than that of the App Store. You would think that because of this massive amounts of downloads the revenue would be greater, that’s were we would be wrong. It appears that revenue generated from the App Store far exceeds that of Google Play by more than 60 percent.
According to analysis by App Annie, both experienced considerable growth last year with the App Store revenues growing by more than $10 billion overall. The analysis also suggested that most of these revenues came from the US, Japan and South Korea. It also found that men were more likely to download gaming apps while women downloaded more social networking and photo apps.
To come up with these numbers App Annie analyzed data from over 90 of the top 100 app publishers with that information coming from more than 700,000 apps.
