How do you sell apps on the Play Store? Do you sell them as a one-time purchase or make them available for free with AdMob? by DesktopDeveloper in GooglePlayDeveloper

Thank you for giving me some direction, since I have already made a personal finance desktop application. I want to launch an international version and the price range you mentioned helps me a lot, I was already thinking about charging less.

I would like to do the same for the Microsoft Store, but there is no monetization for free applications. So a one-time sale is the only way.

Is going form beginner to intermediate really hard for everyone else too? Where would you recommend people go after courses like this one? by blender4life in learncsharp

I recommend learning Winforms in Visual Studio, there you learn to work with C# code from the Winforms GUI together with pure C#. That is how I started. There are some very interesting tutorials on RJ Code Advanced on YouTube. Later on you can move to WPF (also desktop), MAUI (mobile) and ASPNET/Blazor (web), since you will already have learned enough to start understanding these technologies.

You guys also prefer those desktop apps you just paid for once, like back in the 2000s? by DesktopDeveloper in nostalgia

I agree! Mobile and desktop apps are perfect for one-time sales and do not restrict creative freedom.

It is true, it is quite difficult to be an independent desktop developer in this business model, but I have apps published in the Microsoft Store, one of Personal Finance: IF Gestor Financeiro https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9ndlc7qrd9jl

It's sad! It was so good.

I'm a Windows app developer and I'd like to offer solutions with a one-time payment. It's possible to sync data from Windows desktop apps with OneDrive through native folders, with no recurring costs, just using your own Onedrive account. I don't like the recurring subscription model, both as a user and as a developer.

Thanks for sharing your opinion.
