Financial report for Q1 / 2024

Background

Q1 / 2024

During this period, the pricing for sponsored work was 60€ / hour + VAT (VAT is applicable only for EU customers). In the table below, I am summarising Q1 hours and as a comparison also earlier months. What I consider eligible as payable development hours is discussed in this blog post.

Date	Sponsored hours	Development hours	Development hours (not sponsored)	Paid in %
9/2023	2.68	21.05	18.37	12.73%
10/2023	4.92	32.65	25.06	23.25%
11/2023	14.97	37.5	22.53	39.92%
12/2023	15.11	13.98	0	100.00%
1/2024	3.77	12.67	4.9	38.67%
2/2024	1	3.65	1	27.40%
3/2024	1.8	2.4	1.8	75.00%

Observations:

• 👎 Total support has dried down quite a lot. There are some faithful regular sponsors though.
• 👍AndBible is still maintained and support emails are responded (sometimes a bit late, but responded anyway), and the app is functioning well for most users, receiving many 5 star ratings every month.
• In this period I was not able to do so much work because I had holiday 11th Feb-9th March away from home
• If the amount of support increases by time, I will be able to spend significantly more hours on developing AndBible

Breakdown of tasks (December 2023-March 2024)

In December, I started timing different tasks so that it is possible to analyze how the hours have been used. Here is the breakdown how paid hours were used:

Paid tasks	Dec 2023	Q1/2024	Total
Support	3.82	1.48	5.3
Maintenance	8.03	0.92	8.95
Feature	2.13	0	2.13
Total	13.98	2.4	16.38

In other words, so far statistics look like this:

• Support (help.andbible@gmail.com email mainly): 5.3 hours = 32.4%
• Maintenance tasks (bug fixing etc): 8.95 hours = 54.6 %
• New feature development: 2.13 hours = 13 %

In addition to above mentioned paid work, I was doing unpaid work as follows:

• Youtube videos (Tips & Tricks), advertising, blog: 10.64 hours.

Closing words

I want to thank every AndBible sponsor for making it possible to keep the app well maintained, supported and developing.

Best regards & blessings,
