The results are in from the Web App survey we conducted in partnership with Carsonified.
As we post this, the results are being presented to the audience at the Future Of Web Apps conference in London. You can also view the results here.
Nearly one third of respondents have new applications with less than 100 users. But more than 25% of respondents have at least 10,000 users, and 12% have more than 100,000 users. Nearly half of respondents say that they’ve spent a surprising $0 on average to acquire those users, and nearly 75% have spent no more than $1 to acquire each new user.
25% of users have over 10,000 users. Holy crap!
Amazing/terrible/fantastic/evil stock photography. Well done/what were you thinking.
Results are very interesting. The marketing spend/lead costs are much lower than i would have anticipated.
On a side note, I love the design of the pie charts. Did you use a special program for them? very slick looking.
The pie chart for 07, “Current number of full-time engineers” has an incorrect legend.
The red slice should be “1-4″ not “0-1″.
Also, pie 15 is way off – must be a cloud baked.
How many companies responded to the survey?
66, according to my math.
You can (usually) decipher # of respondants by finding the highest common denominator in all the percentages (in this case 1.51515) and then calculate how many times that # goes into 100%.
100 / 1.51515 = 66.
Perhaps on question 14 you mean $500,000 (8.33%)? To me it seems you are missing a zero, which turns things around a bit
@Justin_Groden,
there are many pie chart tools out there, like jfreechart.
I used jfreechart to creat pie charts for school student distributions, on

I used the 2d chart, you can creat 3d charts using jfreechart.
On average they have 1,000 users for the paid apps.
The conversion rates for the paid apps seem very strange: much higher conversion rates than the 1% defined here: http://particle...eb-app-autopsy/ for Wufoo, Bliksale, Feedburner – all apps that have had a major hype thanks too TechCrunch and other bloggers.
Very strange: people signing-up after 1 page view? Squeeze pages ?
