How to Buy Android Apps Without a Credit Card

You probably want to buy some android apps but you don’t have a credit card. That doesn’t mean that people who don’t own one can’t spend money on apps.

In this guide I will show you a few ways how you can purchase apps for Android, even if you don’t have a credit card on your hands. But first, let’s look at a few payment methods NOT suitable for Google Play.

You should note however that some Payment Methods NOT supported by Google Play

In this list you will see bank- and wire transfers, Virtual Credit Cards, Western Union and MoneyGram. The last three are the usual players when it comes to payment fraud, which is why Google is generally not accepting these methods for payments.

Pay For Apps By Filling Out Surveys

Google’s survey app is currently supported in the following countries: United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, Italy, Netherlands and Japan.

Of course, there are ways to make it work in any country, but it’s simply not worth the hassle to go though all these steps.

Procedures 

1.  Install Google Opinion Rewards on your Android device

2.  Register and fill out test survey

3.  Wait for surveys to appear in your push notifications

4.  Complete survey

5.  Profit!

Using Payment Processors  On Google Play

There are a number of payment processors but the most popular ones include Paypal , Payzar and Pioneer

These are some of the more popular choices for those without credit cards. 

These allow you to link your bank account directly to the service, so you can easily pay straight from your own account.

In case you don’t want to give them direct access to your bank account, you always have the option to top it up via wire transfer.

Use Google Play gift cards

This is one way to purchase paid apps without a credit card .In most countries these can be purchased in local convenience stores, supermarkets and even on Amazon.

If you aren’t sure whether you can buy gift cards where you live, check out Google’s list of authorized retailers by country. If you happen to be from India, there is currently no authorized Google Play reseller.

Add Payment Methods To Google Play

To add another payment method on Google Play, simply open the Google Play app, visit the page of a paid app and press on “Purchase”. Don’t worry, you will not be billed without any further confirmation.

Once you see a pop-up prompting you to either enter a password, press on the little arrow on the right side of the app’s price and you will see a drop-down menu. Now press on Payment Methods to add a new one. You will automatically see a list of available payment options for your country, as well as whether your mobile carrier allows payments via SMS.

You Can Use Google Play Alternatives

Most people think that Google is the only place to go to download Android apps. That is simply not true. There are tons of alternatives out there, some of them you might have even heard of. Let me name just a few examples:

• Amazon App store
• Aptiode
• 1Mobile
• F-Droid

All these give users a wide selection of apps, and sometimes even offer the same apps at lower prices compared to Google Play.

Pay With SMS

In some countries Google allows you to pay for apps with a single SMS, the cost of which will be directly added to your monthly phone bill. In the United States, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, US Cellular & Verizon users can purchase apps using so-called direct carrier billing.

Note however , Vodafone customers can no longer use this feature.

So There You Are , You Can Get The Apps Even Without A Credit Card
