Ow damn I meant 35 million views a MONTH.. sorry bout that... Mobile advertising is very profitable if used right and on the right time.. we actually played with the thought of getting rid of the premium add free paid versions of other apps.. >_> |
Well, close to a million euros a month ain't too shabby, either. 
I think the question of paid vs. ad-supported is probably best answered by what kind of app you're making. If you're making an arcade game or a news app that somebody might launch several times a day, ads can provide a nice steady revenue stream while the lack of a price tag drives huge user adoption.
On the other hand, if you have an app that is comes in really handy a couple times a month or an adventure game that's going to be played through and then forgotten, you need that cash up front.
