A report by analyst firm Distimo show that purchases from the Apple app store are often less expensive than counterparts for other phones, as well as being cheaper in general.

The report revealed:

1. Developers publishing applications in multiple application stores price their applications lowest on Apple’s App Store.
2. The same application titles are priced significantly higher on BlackBerry App World and Google Android Market than on the Apple App Store.
3. On the Apple App Store, Games and Social Networking applications have benefited most from in-app purchasing for free applications.
4. BlackBerry App World prices have been increasing since mid-October, from $5.11 to $5.60 (+9.6%), while pricing on the Apple App Store and Google Android Market have remained fairly stable.
5. The average price of a top 100 app from BlackBerry App World was $5.33, and from the Apple App Store it’s $2.50. This is partly due to App World having a minimum price point of $2.99
