Some apps are cross-platform, and some are not. Free software offering can be a smart move for attracting new clients. Software-as-a-service (SaaS) offerings help avoiding app management and development costs. The websites such as salesforce.com and Microsoft Dynamics help solving problems related to mobile relationship management (CRM). Salesforce's monthly subscription costs $125, and Microsoft Dynamics CRM's monthly subscription is $65. MobileFabric enterprise apps subscriptions cost $80 monthly for up to 10 apps. Subscription for the unlimited apps worth $150. Kony's subscription worth $29 for 5 apps monthly. Paradoxically, but the free games must be the most profitable mobile apps (Mirani, 2015). The point is that users start playing games for free, but then they purchase additional items/coupons within the games. Nearly 93 percent of the mobile games are free at the beginning (the so called “free-to-play” games (FTP)). These games eventually generate about $220 billion annually while pre-paid mobile games generate only $10 billion, or 4.55 percent of the free-to-play market. As a conclusion, every mobile app must have its clear audience (students, employers, businessmen, software developers, jobless,

There is a large market for the selling of APP that the public want or are interested in, such as “Mark Zuckerberg in 2004, aged 19 and studying at Harvard University, Zuckerberg created "Facemash” to let users vote on which the two students were the more attractive. He then developed TheFacebook.com, aimed only at US colleges; new colleges were only added once a certain level of demand was reached. That became Facebook, which opened to the wider world, went public in 2012 and is worth about $14bn)” (Arthur, C, (n.d).
This model is heavily dependent on the newer generation of users flooding the pockets of mobile game publishers like King and Zynga. Total revenue, for these companies, is generated from a small number of users who become addicted to the game.
