That was very enlightening. I'm surprised that a there have been enough one time purchases through the app store to cover two developer's salaries, Apple's commission, and a hundred-ish Linode servers over the course of three years.

I would think with a one time purchase each user becomes increasingly unprofitable (until they eventually reach a negative LTV) and the operation becomes untenable. Does Forecast.io monetize in ways other than the Dark Sky app? (I admit only being vaguely aware of them as a non iPhone user)
