$4.99/month to avoid crappy freemium games
But why would anyone buy an iOS game if there are plenty available in the App Store for free? First, non-paid games in the App Store aren’t really “free”.
Most of them are based on the freemium model coming with tons of ads and in-game purchases. And believe me or not, these can seriously ruin your gaming experience and can cost you more money in the long run .
Second – while free games tend to be more popular than paid ones in the App Store –, most of them don’t even come close to the quality of apps with price tags. So, most of the time, you have to pay up to play high-quality iOS games.
Looking at the prices, the top 10 paid iOS games cost $2.89 on average in the US App Store – starting with Minecraft’s hefty price tag of $6.99.
