		statictype on July 27, 2012 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: The Mac App Store’s future of irrelevance Perhaps another model worth considering is to start the price of your app low and as it improves and gains popularity, steadily (and predictably) raise the price. . Has anyone tried this? Did it work? I believe Pinboard.in does exactly this.

I've experimented with my app's pricing starting at a premium price of $6.99 and lowering it to as much as $1.99. Right now it sits at $2.99.

I've learned that if the value of your app is communicated well a higher price won't hurt sales.
