<\/a>App store<\/a> analytics firm Distimo recently released a bunch of juicy info about the major mobile app stores<\/a>, and the results are pretty interesting. For one, Android has a much higher proportion of free apps.<\/p>\n

Apple and BlackBerry are pretty close with their app stores, offering free apps making up 25% and 24% of their respective stores. Android more than doubles that number with 57%. Of course, with the size discrepancy between the stores, Apple still offers up more free apps than Android’s entire store, but it’s still interesting to see the relative differences.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Surprisingly, the number of free apps doesn’t drop the average price paid for paid apps down in android. Apple’s average paid price is $3.62, while Android’s is $3.27. BlackBerry, on the other hand, shoots way up with an $8.26 average. This is due to price variations across the app stores for the same app. IM+, for example, is $4.99 in Apple’s store and a whopping $29.99 in BlackBerry’s.<\/p>\n

There’s some other data about store sizes (spoiler alert: Apple’s is way bigger than anyone else’s), but this price and spending data was the new stuff to us. [Distimo<\/a> via ReadWriteWeb<\/a>]<\/p>\n
