Free version of Threes! doubled the developer's daily income during its launch month
Money from nothing
The launch of the free version of popular Gold Award-winning puzzler Threes! in June doubled its creator's daily income throughout its launch month.
Designer Asher Vollmer made this information public on Twitter yesterday.
He also shared some graphs that showed how the paid version's revenue compared to the ads revenue in the past month.
The premium version of the game is the graph on top while the free version is below.
You can't tell which version made more revenue without the numbers running up the side of these graphs. But, whatever the case, there's no denying that the free version certainly boosted the sales of the premium version.
The free version of Threes! was released a month ago and is available on the App Store and Google Play.
The premium version of the game costs £2.29 / $2.99 and can be purchased on the App Store, Google Play, and the Amazon App Store.
