There are loads of apps which feature in-app purchases but which also make revenue from being paid apps in the first place.

I’ve been thinking hard on this concept lately, especially based on a Gigaom Pro paper that I read last year while working at an app company that suggested that apps which cost $1-2 were more likely to be DL’d that free ones (with some obvious exceptions to the rule). It’s obviously true that even if you download say… 1-2 million downloads, at 1 or 2 dollars each, that’s not significant enough revenue to make a difference, especially since great apps can cost a lot of money to make.
