I'm hoping to start a SaaS app in the near future, as B2B is far more interesting to me than $1 mobile apps. Having an ARPU above 70 cents and recurring revenue sounds glorious.
That being said, products are the way to go. Last month was actually my best month ever, and I haven't done any work on my apps since January. (some freelance work, some big projects on my property, some traveling)

I run https://www.improvely.com and https://www.w3counter.com , and they along with some side projects are my only income. I earn significantly more from SaaS subscriptions than I did working as a full-time software engineer. Does that count?
I make about $600/month between ads on the free version and sales for the paid version; not enough to quit my full-time job but a nice monthly supplement.
I created Smart Receipts, a receipt tracker and expense report generator for Android - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=wb.receipts . I make about $600/month between ads on the free version and sales for the paid version; not enough to quit my full-time job but a nice monthly supplement.

How much of that is ads vs paid? I've noticed that making free versions for my apps has been very helpful, but I still make 75-80% of my income off of the paid versions.
