Google Play Store Will Soon Let You Subscribe to App Trials

Jun. 18, 2020

Google is apparently testing a new method that lets usersdirectly subscribe to free app trials before installing an app from the Play Store. As pointed out byTechCrunch, there exists a new “Free trial & install” button right next to the usual “Install” button in select apps.

It is worth keeping in mind that thenew “Free trial & install” button is currently restricted to a limited set of app developers.Google has not revealed the entire list of supported apps so far but from the looks of it,TrueCalleris one of them.

Also being added to Billing Library version 3 is the ability to pay by cash at a local convenience store. The feature will go live for one-time purchases with cash in Indonesia and Malaysia at over 50,000 locations.
