Hey all! One of the founders here
My co-founder @datarade and I built @LinkTexting but we were struggling to find more than 20 apps a day to sell to even though 3,000 are released a day.
We built this tool find those 3,000 apps and the emails and twitter handles of as many as possible allowing us to reach thousands of customers a day.
We are now opening up that tool to other companies!
If you work on a product where a mobile app is the customer our tool is a must!
@datarade Not really, but tangential probs being solve o'er here. But I know people who would be absolutely saved by this - save time and energy for comms, let the robots handle data mining/entry!
Such a great idea. I wonder on the efficacy of it. Are you actually converting paying customers from this list? I would think these early apps can't actually pay for anything, and as such the list wouldn't be worth it immediately. If you are seeing success seeling, at what price points are you converting customers? Is it mostly $10/month type customers or are you able to convert 5-figure annual customers?
@angilly Thanks for the question Ryan!
We've actually seen great conversions for @LinkTexting at $9/$29 a month so far for smaller apps. For the larger companies it will give you the window that they're now open to being sold to since they just launched their app and while not as fast it's a start :)
You also get the value of being in the mindshare of these companies early and when they do hit the right size they'll know about your company for those 5 figure deals!
@angilly Yes! I wish we could share customer stories easier, but the SDK marketplace is extremely competitive.
There's a huge market of freemium/premium technologies for mobile app developers and they have a very big problem on their hands of finding the contact information.
The sheer size of the iOS app market place warrants covering as many of the apps or even specific categories.
@danthevc You can now reach out to up to 3,000 apps a day to offer them your mobile SDK as a product they can use in their app :)
With @LinkTexting before this we could only find 20-40 apps a day
@danthevc That's a good question. So there's a ton of mobile SDK companies in the marketplace that have huge teams of SDR's (Sales Development Representatives). A lot of them have freemium/premium plans and are currently doing manual prospecting. It's laborious, time consuming, and requires them to search forums and top 100 app lists for a small fraction of their potential customer base.
We enable SDR teams to get to the entire user base faster with the contact info that we collect.
Cool stuff.
A couple questions:
1) How do you determine "the contact" if there are multiple available for an app?
2) Do you have this data available for apps that are already on the market? or are you just making it accessible for new apps on a monthly basis?
Thanks!
@mikeyrenan hi Mikey! We use a mix of computer and humans to check through the data. At the moment we return the contact(s) we find that are the best available and are fine tuning the data over time.
