Cash comes from sales, goal rewards, and one-time codes. Wages, parts, and ads take it back. The demand formula is not public.

What I checked

The rewards printed by Pocket Tactics and PCGamesN total 174,000 cash and 240 RP across four codes; that is arithmetic on press figures, not redeemed cash. allthings.how alone supplies the roughly 70% margin target and exact marketing tiers. Roonby independently advises price adjustments, cash reserves, and avoiding same-technology launches. No sales or ad-return formula was tested here.

Pricing after the first phone

Revenue equals units sold times unit price as ordinary arithmetic. Roonby says price can change after launch and illustrates a cut from $399 to $319; it does not establish that discount as optimal. Use the profit calculator for gross margin only. The cited sources provide no demand function from price, rating, and technology to units sold.

allthings.how lists marketing as free (baseline), online ads at $40,000 for about +45% early demand, TV at $400,000 for about +80%, and a global event at $1,300,000 for about +160%. Those percentages are one article. allthings.how suggests the no-marketing option for a low-budget first launch; Roonby separately warns against spending production reserves on ads.

Keep a cash reserve. Research, production, and monthly wages all run while you wait for sales. Roonby says the time-skip control advances those bills too. The beginner guide covers the first hire. If the balance goes negative, switch to the debt guide.

Order I would follow with these sources

  1. Collect reported codes and any daily gift the game actually shows. Do not assume the group bonus of 75,000 cash until you see it.
  2. Ship one design, read the sales panel, then adjust price. Do not queue a clone.
  3. Goal rewards are an official cash source, but their individual payouts are not established here. The complete goals checklist is a later evidence task, not a published page in this release.
  4. Spend $150,000 on a Small Office only after the desk page conditions make sense for your balance.

FAQ

What one-time cash sources are documented?

The official description confirms cash-reward goals; media report four codes. Code amounts are not redemption tests, and no timed comparison establishes the fastest cash method.

Should I always price at 70% margin?

Only as a reported target. The games API does not publish a margin rule.

Do marketing boosts stack?

No source describes stacking. allthings.how presents four separate campaign choices.
