So it's a lot like gold prospecting?


Most app developers can only monetize 10-15% of their users via "common methods". Selling your app allows you to monetize 100% of that user base. Not such a bad deal.


Yep - you can probably make more money by selling shovels.


Really? is that what you think? Where are those shovels?


Stripe, Heroku, Olark, etc.


Parse.com?
