Comment on IOS app success is a lottery: 60% (or more) of developers don't break even

Comments

So 40% do break even. I'd guess that is better than web or other platforms.

Read the article, it says close to 90% don't break even.

Though the survey's methodology is a bit on the light side, numerous developers that we spoke to agree that the results—59 percent of apps don't break even, and 80 percent of developers can't sustain a business on their apps alone—are close to accurate.

So still better than the conventional wisdom that "90-95% of business fail".
