The Google Play Store is filled with Android apps and games. While quite a few apps are free and ad-supported, some charge insignificant fees. A large number of applications are still quite expensive. Desperate users have to illegally download from sharing and torrenting sites, which is very risky. Thankfully, there are several ways to legally get paid apps for free.
We do not advise users to download illegal apps. Why? Because these are often infected with trojans, malware, viruses, and malicious code designed to steal your data. In addition, some malicious ads can install cryptocurrency mining scripts and push unwanted pop-ups on your phone. In this guide, you’ll learn some legitimate ways to discover paid apps that you can get for free — directly or indirectly.
Let’s get started.
1. Google Opinion Rewards
It’s my favorite choice by far. The premise is simple but very effective. Google has a survey app that will ask you some questions and give Play Store credit for answering them. These questions may be related to your experience using various Google products such as Maps, Search, YouTube, etc.
Do you want to watch more football videos? Do you like a particular restaurant? How was your trip? Google uses feedback to show you more relevant content. You will receive a notification when a survey is available. You will have to complete it quickly because those surveys have a time limit.
I think it’s a win-win situation. You get targeted results, Google gets to know you better and show targeted content and ads, and you’re rewarded with Play Store credits.
You can use these credits to buy apps, ebooks, and movies. No, you cannot cash them out. A pretty legit way to earn credits by pausing things. Plus, those surveys usually require a few taps and take only half a minute.
Note that survey frequency, questions, and bounty amounts will vary based on your location, responses, Google product usage, and other variables.
2. Sell apps
AppSales is a price tracker app to track the prices of apps. There are four tabs. The first will show highlights of the apps that are currently on sale. They are listed daily. The second tab will show all the latest apps that have been sold recently. The third tab will only show paid apps that are currently free. The last one is my favorite. That’s where you create a list of your favorite apps that you want to track.
You can customize the search results with filters such as discounted price, number of downloads, minimum rating, and hide apps with ads or expirations. You can also change locations because apps are sold in different locations at different times!
Finally, you can create custom filters with keywords. You can always tweak it later. A simple to use app that can save you a few dollars regularly. The free version is ad-supported while the paid version will cost you $1.99/year and offers a dark theme, more filter options, and an extended price history.
3. Free app
Selling apps is another great way to buy free paid apps from the Google Play Store, but AppsFree offers a better way. A lot of these apps aren’t worth your time and effort. I’m talking about new apps that might not be good enough, or apps that you rejected last time when they were free.
AppsFree wants to solve this problem with a simple swipe of your finger. There is a single list with limited filters at your disposal. I like the Dismissed list. Just swipe right and you’ll never see that app again the next time it’s free. However, there is no way to track the apps sold. However, you can view the Removed list whenever you change your mind.
The app is free, has a dark theme, and is ad-supported.
4. Reddit
Legend has it that there’s a subreddit for everything you can think of, and then a few other things. Well, there’s also a subreddit for deals on the Google Play Store and it’s very active. Having a separate one for games is good. Team members share available apps at discounted or completely free prices whenever they can.
The result is a list of topics that you can quickly scan for app names, prices, and discount rates. You don’t even need to register at Reddit to see these subreddits.
5. Google Ads
Google runs its own promotions, and while they’re often wide-ranging, they seem to pop up from time to time.
Look out for them in the Play Store notification area.
6. Beta Test Catalog
Different developers have different rules when it comes to beta testing, but most app or game developers will release beta versions for free. You can download it and use it to help developers by sharing feedback. Normally, you will be allowed to upgrade to the final or released version and use it for free when it becomes available in the market.
There are currently two ways to find upcoming apps that are in beta. One way is to search for the term — beta on the Play Store. Another way is to download the Beta TestingCatalog app. It lists all the developers currently looking for beta testers for their apps.
