Vision Pro: more than half of the apps (for now) are paid

We have just witnessed the grand launch of Vision Pro, Apple’s innovative headset for augmented and virtual reality. Along with the device, the technology sector is also evolving dedicated apps. And an analysis that just emerged online shows that the most are paid.

The analysis we are talking about was conducted by Appfigures. The most significant fact that emerged is that the 52% of exclusive apps for Vision Pro you have to pay for. In the sense that payment is required directly for the download.

This data is significant because, making a comparison with all the other apps on the App Store, only 5% to be paid. Always looking at the apps for Vision Pro, it was found that the 35% of them does not provide for any form of monetization, while the 13% of them foresees some subscription forms for a fee.

Then looking at those apps previously available for iOS and subsequently also adapted for Vision Pro, it was found that the 17% of them requires a paid download, while the 58% provides monetization through subscriptions.

Let’s not talk about excessive prices: most paid apps cost money less than 10 dollars, while the average price corresponds to $5.67. If you wanted to buy them all you would spend money just over $1,000about three times less than the price of Vision Pro.

Summing up a bit, we can say that this painting is quite logical. The platform dedicated to Vision Pro is a lot young, for a device that is being marketed in a single market at the moment. It can be deduced that the audience of users is not largejust as the apps are relatively few: those for Vision Pro are around 700while those for iOS are more than a million.

This implies that developers who create software products for Vision Pro have to face important effortswithout having the security of a big return in terms of users who will use their apps. Obviously this It’s not meant to last forever: in a future in which Vision Pro can gain a foothold, even outside the USA, we expect an offer of more and more apps, with prices that will predictably drop.
