Here are the three I am considering:

-One time purchase.

-Free, completely based on many microtransactions.

-Free, demo with full game as in-app purchase

One time purchase.

- Reach Smaller Audience

- Full experience without bothering user

- Customer must buy before trying

- Fixed profit per user

Free, completely based on many microtransactions.

- Reach Larger Audience

- Must bother user constantly for small in-app purchases.

- Possibility of high profit per user.

Free, demo with full game as in-app purchase.

- Reach Larger Audience

- Less annoying than microtransactions.

- Customer has tried and enjoys enough to purchase.

- Fixed profit per user (possibility of higher price than one time)

I would love input on the ideal model for maximum revenue and app experience.","time":1357633642,"title":"Ask HN: Favorite iOS Game Revenue Model","type":"story","url":""}],[5024208,{"by":"kelsokennedy","descendants":47,"id":5024208,"kids":[5024333,5024275,5024409,5024331,5024317,5024329,5024245,5024312,5024231,5024288,5024258,5024306,5025163,5024335,5024286,5024309,5024281,5024326,5024274,5024261,5024291,5024270],"score":23,"text":"","time":1357604982,"title":"Show HN: Our Vancouver based web agency just launched.
