not using ads.... /runs

in all seriousness, I think in app purchases is probably a better model all round, As a user and a developer these ad platforms are all just nasty.

How would you leverage in app purchases to promote a B2B saas product?
If your product is B2B SaaS do you really need to put ads inside your app?
Of course not. In app purchases might make sense for someone that has an app once they already have a pretty good audience, but the issue is how to build that audience in the first place.

I was wondering if the person I was replying to had any insights on that, given they were suggesting in app purchases as an alternative to Google/FB ads. Maybe they were suggesting in app purchases as an alternative to Google adsense? Which wouldn’t apply to my use case.
