In which country in-app purchase performs better?

Monetizing, Advertising & Marketing Marketing Methods
1

I looked for this info but I failed to find it.

Do you know in which countries in-app purchase performs well and which are the ones that this kind of monetization doesn’t payoff?

Check country tiers - they are universal in marketing.

Tier1: USA, Germany, UK, sometimes Canada and Australia
Tier2: Western Europe, Japan
Tier3: All others

Differences are big - what converts 3-5% in USA, may convert with 0,1% in Tier3 countries.

My experience confirms what is said above: UK, USA, Germany top performers (in that order). Forget about selling in Tier3 countries

Thank you both for replying.

Bronsoner, from my experience with Flash Market the definition of the Tiers are a bit different than the one you presented.

I knew (Intuitively) that tier 1 would be the better tier to invest in advertisement for applications with in-app purchase.

What I want to know is statistical data, so I could do the math in order to determine in which country to invest. Simply taken USA, UK to advertise in is not a smart move because they cost much more than other countries.

Once again, thank you all for replying.

yeah look at tier countries. rich ppl pay more
btw some things are not clear unless u try it - japanese can spend money on apps cause its pennies for them and they r used to just buying rather than looking for free alternatives but on the other hand japan is iphone country now. but still some ppl with less money have androids so i think its worth checking.

How about Korea? They are Samsung ppl;) I heard it’s good for android monetization.

probably true but cant confirm.
Anyway if u aiming local market u better do translation to local language.

try united states this country is good for this type of monetization

One country nobody mentioned above is Australia. Pays really good, sometimes better than USA.

Looking at my stats looks like South Africa surprisingly is paying good too, never noticed that before;)
