Earlier quoted context omitted.

Take a look at http://useartisan.com/ Basically, it removes the 2-week development cycle, and you can essentially make changes in real time. I've seen it demo'ed, and it's much more impressive than the website makes it out to be.

It sounds interesting, but how do they get around the app store approval process?

You compile once, and change the app as needed. You don't need to resubmit.

I couldn't find any pricing information even after registering. It only says its free to try, but no further clarification in the docs or the FAQ. While it looks promising, I can't go and integrate this into my app without knowing if, when, and how much you're going to be charging for it.

We haven't announced our pricing yet because we're constantly adding new features our users request. Email me at nancy at apptimize dot com and we'll give you a special deal we've been giving to early adopters.

The lack of information on pricing is an instant back-button-trigger for me. I have no idea if you (eventually) plan to charge $5 per month or $200 per month. If it's in the lower end, then it can be worth evaluating. If it's a few or several hundreds per month, then I have to pass until I'm earning enough to afford it.

This looks interesting - although having never really considered using A/B testing on native apps before I did spend a few minutes looking around the site for examples of things to track. Maybe you could show an example project on the site showing what was changed and how that affected sales, etc.?

Part of apptimize team here. We want to do that! We will add more to our site; currently it looks deceptively slick bc our designer is awesome but it's really a first iteration. Right now if you sign in, you can see an example experiment. How does it look to you?

Yes the example gives a much better idea of what's going on. Although I did have to create an account to look at it...

Would be nice to have that accessible from the main page.
