One of the major reasons why users download paid apps is that they are free from any kind of unwanted advertisements.

A recent study has revealed that while more Android users are inclined towards downloading free apps, a slightly more percentage of iOS users tend to go for paid apps.Although free apps are preferable by many for the obvious savings, there are some users who tend to go for paid variants. Before you start judging the latter group, read as to why you should download paid apps instead of free ones.

Free from ads

One of the major reasons why users download paid apps is that they are free from any kind of unwanted advertisements. While playing a game, editing some important document or even while editing images on the go, you can see ads generally see banner and full-screen ads popping out randomly. And clicking on them by mistake (considering they are near navigation buttons) is really annoying. This is a problem paid apps don't have.

More features

Paid applications are not just free from advertisements but also come with more features as compared to their free versions. Since users are paying for these apps, they get access to unlocked features. For instance, the AVG Antivirus app's paid version gives more security features that are not available in free version.

Early updates

Regular updates are another factor to choose paid apps over free apps. Paid apps get periodic updates that make them more stable and as mentioned above, bring more features to the table. Not just that, they receive those updates earlier than the free variants.

Less data consumption

Paid apps can also help in saving some of your data allowance. How? It's related to ads only. Many times you get a full-fledged 10 or 30 second video ad when you tap on it by mistake. Sometimes, you even have to go through the entire ad every time you access a particular option. These video ads take time to download and also don't let users bypass them until they have been fully downloaded.

Less distraction

Distraction is another let down in free applications. Users keep on getting in-app pop-ups not just for advertisements, but also for updating to paid versions. In addition, these type of notifications bug users even when the app is exited. This is quite distracting and something that paid apps don't have.

Growth in loyal users and revenue for developers

End users are not the only ones who get extra benefits with paid apps. These work both ways, even for developers. Generally those who download paid apps are a bunch of dedicated loyal users that developers gain over time. They receive all the above-mentioned features, and maybe even some extras. As the number of paid users grow, the revenue for app developers also grows.
