    One time €25 fee

    Is it really a one time fee for the Play Store? I remember hearing it’s a subscription, and while I don’t do mobile app development (or any development currently), it was one of the things that turned me off from even considering mobile development. That might change if you’re right, but I still have no app ideas, so it’s unlikely I’ll build any apps.

      Yes, it is really a one time fee.

      However if you sell apps (or in-app purchases) they’ll take a 30% cut, just like Apple.

      Yes its one time for android, if you’re earning money with ads or purchases, google will take 1/3 of that amount, then you will have to figure out taxes on your own and there’s also some special policies for selling online goods in India, but if you’re just making apps - its one time fee to be able to upload them to google play store, or you can just distribute with froid/github for free, which is a great route as well
