Background
Tuomas Airaksinen Consulting, company of the lead developer, is providing a way to sponsor AndBible development. You can support AndBible development financially via the webshop.
I am reporting in monthly basis the significant numbers in this google sheets document.
See also: financial report for Q4/2023 and Q1/2024.
Q2 / 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 Q2 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% |
| 4/2024 | 4.98 | 6.92 | 2 | 71.10% |
| 5/2024 | 18.59 | 14.93 | 0 | 100.00% |
| 6/2024 | 2.82 | 13.18 | 6.7 | 49.17% |

Observations:
- 👍May was very good compared to beginning of year. Biggest contributor to this was 3 larger orders (200-500€ each). There has been also number smaller orders. Because of this, I was able do some new feature development, i.e. Export & Import Study Pads and ability to import / merge databases.
- 👍I have been able to maintain AndBible by fixing bugs and responding to user emails.
- 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-June 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 | Q2/2024 | Total |
| Support | 3.82 | 1.48 | 5.42 | 10.72 |
| Maintenance | 8.03 | 0.92 | 14.57 | 23.52 |
| Feature | 2.13 | 0 | 15.05 | 17.18 |
| Total | 13.98 | 2.4 | 35.04 | 51.42 |
In other words, in Q4 statistics look like this:
- Support (help.andbible@gmail.com email mainly): 5.42 hours = 15.5%
- Maintenance tasks (bug fixing etc): 14.57 hours = 41.6 %
- New feature development: 15.05 hours = 43.0 %

In addition to above mentioned paid work, I was doing unpaid work as follows:
- Youtube videos (Tips & Tricks), advertising, blog: 1.85 hours.
No more VAT (=value added tax)!
I learned in June 2024 that as long as sales in EU are below 10 000 € / year I am not required to collect VAT. So from now on sponsorship is VAT-free. In 2025, this limit will increase to 20 000 € as far as I have understood, but will confirm that later (if needed).
Earlier, VAT has not been collected for non-EU sales, but for EU sales VAT based on customer country has been collected (I have sent receipts manually).
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,
Tuomas Airaksinen
Lead developer of AndBible Open Source Project
