A Mac App Assesses Your App Portfolio

With all those $1 apps and an average $2.70 price point, the App Store is an extremely cheap software platform.

While looking at your monthly credit card bill however, you might actually be brought to wonder how all those app purchases add-up.

Well, App Store Expense Monitor does pretty much just that. What it does is scan your iTunes library, list your apps, and then check their current price to give you an approximation of your “app portfolio” value.

Of course, if you use apps like our BargainBin you might have spent less than that and it doesn’t include in-app purchases but it will still give you a value you can brag about to your friends.

How much did you “invest” in the App Store?

  1. Kind of an interesting program that provides an answer I don’t necessarily want to know. I do wish the app would cross check purchase dates and the actual price paid. I would think this is possible and would make sense for us AppAdvice readers who rarely pay full retail for our apps.

  2. 600 $ !!!!!!
    And most of those apps were quite bad.

  3. App works great.

    I spent way too much–$123. All of those apps add up!

  4. Got all you guys beat! I’m just shy of $2,000 with 1,101 apps in iTunes. Of course, I didn’t really pay all that, since I purchase most apps while they are on sale and this application doesn’t remember the price of the app when purchased. I have too many to enter the values by hand so I let it use what it finds.

    The sad thing is I have over 300 apps in AppShopper.com set to “Want”.

  5. Anything like this for PC?
