The Fintech Marketplace Has A Larger Share Of Investors From Across Android Devices As Opposed To Apple Ones

A study reveals that fintech applications cost half as much across Android devices as opposed to Apple ones, and also note twice the number of users.

Fintech is a branch of online apps that is attracting a lot of traction nowadays, because I guess everyone’s obsessed with getting that bag, hustling, or whatever new catchphrase we’ve invented for working ourselves to death chasing a dream made up for us by corporate overlords who hoard most of our wealth. While the term is most commonly associated with cryptocurrency and the blockchain, it refers to any strides made toward online finance. This can include the development of automated online exchange, big data, and even cloud storage and computing. With the world moving more and more rapidly towards online development, it was only a matter of time before everyday finance would become an integral part of the internet landscape.

I feel like most individuals are attracted to crypto and fintech as concepts because they hypothetically represent the one thing that everyone constantly chases after easy money. There’s minimal work, and the results can be exorbitant, never mind the fact that most exchanges can severely impact either the individual who’s buying or selling. They’re huge scams, and I think I’m pretty confident in my stance about this. Enough of my complaining, however; let’s move on to the data that we’re analyzing today. The app marketing company Liftoff reveals that the average cost of a fintech app on Android is approximately USD 2.33 this year, while iOS platforms have their average sum land around the figure of USD 4.35. Much of this difference can be attributed to the Play Store and its peers having relatively looser guidelines and fees for app publishers as opposed to the App Store.


However, many individuals who buy into an app take their time before either signing up or even remaining active on such a platform. Android, again, takes the helm in that regard with registration numbers being much higher for them as opposed to iOS users. This, I believe, can be tied to Apple devices and how much they cost. To afford an iPhone means that you’re at least relying on a relatively stable income, and are therefore less prone to engaging in fads such as cryptocurrency. Android users, on the other hand, seem to have no such reservations.
Fintech apps have been on the rise recently. What are fintech apps? Well, they are Finance apps that can be anywhere from crypto trading apps to Banking apps for specific banks. And now they are on the rise because of our economy. Want to know how? Read on.  According to data released by mobile growth acceleration platform Liftoff, Fintech apps have been on the rise on a scale of year to year. Even though the average cost per download has come down, avg. Registration and activation rates have increased a lot. They increased about at the same time as the former fell, so it wasn’t that much of an increase.  On reason for this sudden popularity of Fintech, apps are that they provide their users with a more ingenious and new user experience. According to Liftoff, the average cost of registering on a fintech app is about $17.96, which is quite a large amount, but this does not at all mean that account activations have decreased as they are still high at 56% of people activating their accounts on the app.  According to the report, Banking apps were the least expensive to get being at $1.50, but registration was still low over there at 10.2%. The report also found that it was relatively easier for Android users to get banking apps at lower rates, and thus they were more likely to get their account activated as well.  Users with mobile phone apps in Latin America had the apps easier to get with $1.60 as the Average Installation rate but the number of people that went onwards with the registration was still low (18.3%). Meanwhile, in the regions of Europe, the Middle East, and Africa or the EMEA, users registered their accounts at a higher rate which would be 34.8% but only a measly 4.3% activated their accounts. In Latin America the highest rate of activation was 38.2%, successfully being the highest out of all the other regions surveyed.
