Distimo was founded to solve the challenges created by a widely fragmented app store marketplace filled
with equally fragmented information and statistics.
Distimo was launched shortly after the introduction of the first app store. App stores have clearly shown
since that time that they are the way forward for content distribution. The app store model offers an
enormous opportunity for developers to get their content out and dramatically improves content discovery
by consumers. However, the mobile market has long been characterized by fragmentation, which is
also displayed in the wide range of mobile application stores that were launched from 2009 on.

This publication covers the Apple App Store for iPad, Apple App Store for iPhone, Mac
App Store, BlackBerry App World (worldwide store), Google Android Market, Nokia Ovi
Store, Palm App Catalog, and Windows Phone 7 Marketplace in the United States during
February 2011.
The major findings are:
• Less than two months after the launch of the Mac App Store, a top 300 Mac application
already generates half the revenue of a top 300 iPad application on average.
• The average selling price of the top 300 applications is seven times higher in the
Mac App Store ($11.21) than on the iPhone ($1.57) and almost three times higher
than on the iPad ($4.19).
• The Mac App Store has 2,225 applications available in the store approximately
two months post-launch. Comparatively, the Apple App Store for iPad had 8,099
applications two months post-launch.
• Although on the Mac gaming has been less popular than on Windows, the Mac App
Store promises a bright future for Mac gaming: there are already 646 games in this
store (29%), and 39% of the most popular applications are games as well.
• The proportion of free applications in the Mac App Store is lower than in any of the
other application stores analyzed in this report: only 12% of the applications are
free.
• The 300 most popular free and 300 most popular paid applications in the three
Apple application platforms (iPhone, iPad and Mac App Store) are published by
1,014 publishers in total. 173 publishers distribute applications in more than one
of these stores (17%), the Mac App Store being one of these stores in 49 cases (5%).
