Tag: How much does it cost for Google Play Store?

Google charges a one-time $25 fee to get a developer account on Google Play, which lets you publish Android apps. Free apps are distributed at no cost, and Google takes 30% of the revenues of paid apps for “carriers and billing settlement fees”.

Google has a one time $25 registration fee which you need to pay before you can upload an app. Google says it encourages higher quality products, i.e. less SPAM. If you don’t like the idea then it helps to look at Apple’s and Microsoft’s policies for their app stores.

To sell paid apps and in-app purchases on Google Play, you need to set up a profile in the Google payments center . After you create a payments center profile, it’s automatically linked to Play Console. You can then manage app sales, view sales reports, receive payments from sales, and more.
