The analytical company GigaOm conducted a study of the earnings of mobile application developers. Most of them receive no more than $500 per month from one program.
However, we are talking here about those who are trying to make money on paid applications. However, a third of developers who have monetized their app through advertising earn even less – up to $100 per month.
Big money is “hammered” by only 5% of developers (from $ 20 thousand per month). These are usually large companies that have a budget not only for development, but also for the promotion of their projects.

During the study, more than 350 developers were interviewed, for 75% of whom application development is not their main job.
Be that as it may, against this background, the data from HeadHunter on the decline in the level of average salaries of developers is quite natural. In particular, in St. Petersburg, the salary of an iOS developer decreased from 70,000 to 60,000 rubles. This decline is explained by the high supply of the labor market from iOS developers. The highest paid software developers for Android and Java (80,000 rubles), C++ (70,000) are now.
