Total!

About $1k ... break down my hourly rate it's probably about 25cents per hour LOL ... But I do like having "Mobile apps" on my resume. So its worth it to me.

Total? I thought you meant in 2020

?

Filippo said:

I don't think Total says much, what's important is 2020 or 2021.
Someone can have earned more in one year than someone who has been there for 10 years.

wow, i am really surprised that from 21 votes 9 made more than 100k $. this is insane.
i believe that most people here have a full-time job and coding is their hobby or maybe a side job so making 100k is crazy.

This is proof that fake news (and statistics) exist ?

I think for me, and maybe others too, the goal was not to sell apps. Therefore, there is not much money gained from app sales itself.

However, the experience gained, plus blogging, creating a video training series, and postings have helped me in my FT job(s) and freelance work, whereby the gain is in both financial and via improved reputation .

i believe the votes. why should someone lie? his name is not shown in the poll so what will he gain from it?
besides that i do believe that after asking to stay honest people here will respect that. so i do believe the votes and i also know it is possible to make such an amount ?

My original goal was never to create and sell apps on the Play store, there are way too many variables and luck plays a huge part in Play store apps being successful. There are already plenty of apps on the play store and apart from my TIX clock app that was unique and I made good money from it before I pulled it, I'm not really interested in creating apps for the general public to download and moan about.

I do however create lots of apps for myself (mainly for learning purposes) and those apps help me to become a better B4X developer when it comes to paid client work.

Lately I've been using B4XPages for both B4A and B4J client work. I've really enjoyed using B4XPages for my newer projects, even if it's just for a single platform, learning B4XPages has been a lot of fun.

I'm obviously NOT going to vote in the pole above, but suffice to say I earn a good living from developing bespoke business solutions for my clients using the B4X suite of RAD tools.

I've not created a new desktop solution using VS in years, that's how much faith I have in b4x.com, Anywhere Software, the library creators and also the b4x community as a whole.

I've spoken to @ilan lately about a few things via PM, I even gave him the price of a small project that I was working on for a client and how little time it would take me to create the entire solution (BTW @ilan I've finished 2 of the 3 projects that I talked about with great feedback about them ). If I had to create those same applications using VS C# (I don't use VB.Net anymore), the project would have taken me two or even three times longer to complete.

Using B4X has definitely made me a better thus more efficient all round developer which can only be beneficial for all my clients.

yep, similar path for me

$5, 000

My usual work is done with Delphi.
When I am asked to do something for Android then I use B4A. I've calculated that around 30K, but since 2012!!!!
So it comes out to an average of 3000 a year, equals 250 euros a month.
For me, for the moment, it's a help, but it doesn't give me to live.
Surely the problem is that I am a bad Android programmer.

I've got several games on the Android app store, and make about $10k a year from these, mostly through two games. The plan is to bring more games out and maybe some educational games to try to increase this income. All income is through admob ads, all interstitials and rewarded.

Am new to b4x and a startup business looking forward To use b4x for my clients.
