Mobile Apps- Free with ads vs. app for $$$

[Jimi L]

What is everyone's opinion on offering apps for free but crammed with ads versus offering an app for x amount of dollars?

I'm going to release my first app soon for the gaming company I'm starting and pretty sure I'm going to offer it free with ad banners and some options shutdown and then offer an upgrade to get rid of the ads and open the options for x amount of dollars (probably .99)

Also, are ad banners added during programming or during deployment?
