Average amount of time my game is played in every day lets say 10 minutes.
How much money can I earn from a free game that gets downloaded 1000 times?

    That question can't really be answered, especially not with only two parameters: 1000 downloads and 5 minutes play a day.

    That would also depend on a number of factors including:

    • type of ads
    • how much you get paid per ad
    • whether you get paid for ad impressions or ad click throughs
    • how often you show those ads
    • whether you have in app purchases and the price of those
    • are the in app purchases good value and worth paying for (not all 1000 people would be in app purchasers)
    • how many of the 1000 people still have the game installed (be surprised if it's a 100%)
    • how many of those that have it installed do actually play for 5 minutes every day (again I'd imagine that would be a very very very small percent, regardless of how good your game is)

    There's probably a shed load more things to factor in.

    Every single person that I have ever seen asking a question like "how much money can I earn" on the forums has been struck with reality within a year or so (often much sooner than that) and then... silence. Maybe the OP will be the exception to this universal rule? ;)

    One of my games was downloaded about 5,000 times and I made $3. You shouldn't expect those types of riches your first time out though.

    What did you do with all the money ? I'm guessing most of it all went on a baby giraffe ?

    That's BazookaTime's brother, he paid for him to have the change with the money left over from the giraffe.

    Aaahh! The most frequently asked question in this business.

    How to you end up with a $1m from app development?

    Start with $2m! :D

    Ahh! But I was talking about the half woman even more to the right.

    This may sum it up in 1 sentence. You may think you have a hit on your hands and it may not sell as well vs your "quick game" may do all right....

    The world is changing quickly, when people can't be bothered to buy a 99c game. ; - )
    ( Those NES cart games, they were quite pricey when new - and there were shortages! )

    Most people use free / IAP / ads now, right?
    I guess I better "get with the program" ...

    Except now there are ad-blockers out there, so now even ads aren't as helpful as they once were.

    I like your optimism, a more accurate estimate for most people though (when taking various dev fees and licenses into account) is more in the ball park of USD: random(-399,-1000)

    Kirafu quit his job and has spent the last two years making Roll Turtle – and it's quite magnificent. I suspect he's not ordering his Ferrari just yet. He's also probably regretting quitting his job.

    A free game using only ads on Gplay or Apple will have a bunch of variables making it impossible to tell you a good answer.

    For Amazon underground you get 0.002 for every minute people play your game. So 1000 users at 10 min EACH/ PER day is 20$ a day for amazon underground only
    (or 600 a month, or 7200 yearly)

    Amazon underground is NO ads allowed and must be free to play so this will be your only revenue.

    But yea the others are impossible to tell
