Slightly OT.. But do app developers on Google's Play Store earn more from the ads, or if you purchase the ad-free version?
For example, there's a downloader app that I use for convenience, which I really like. I intend to continue using it. The ad-free version is around Rs. 100. Would the developer not make more if I continued to use the free, ad-supported version? I mean, instead of that one-time payment?
Asking from the perspective of someone who'd like to support the dev in whatever way he can.
Purchases I've made off the top of my head - Handy, Horse Anatomy, Dog Anatomy, Mara3d (Essentially, art reference related).
