The firm reported that 13% only made five or more purchases, with the average in-app purchase coming to $5.94. According to the math, the firm found that 67% of spending was directed at items costing between $1-$5 range. Item which cost $50 or more made up .7% of purchased and accounted for 9% of total revenue. The full report is on VentureBeat. Thanks, GI International.
