    On apple/iOS - The app store, you have to pay a annual fee to be a registered developer.

    On android you have f-droid, fully open source, no fees.

        There is a fee to list on the google play store? i had no idea!

        I think its fair for a FOSS developer to make it free on fdroid and charge $1-5 on the play store, but i rarely see it. :)

          There is a one-time signup fee. Last time I heard about it it was 20$ or something. I don’t think you have to pay per listing.

      You can side-load an app from anywhere so you don’t even need storefronts like f-droid, you can just have the APKs as releases right with wherever you’re hosting the source code!
