How to get paid apps for free, legally
Updated November 14, 2026
The legal way to get a paid app for free is a promo code from the developer, and GetFree.APP lists those codes from indie developers. Claim one and redeem it in the App Store or Google Play. The paid app is yours.

A developer-issued code is a gift from the seller. Cracked apps, modded installers and shared accounts aren't. GetFree's FAQ describes it as using a coupon the developer wants you to use.
What you can get
On November 13, 2026, GetFree's Free apps page listed DualTake Cam, ScriptCam, What2WatchAI, CityChat, BibleScroll, Flock Detour, VHS Camera and Radddio as Free now. Others showed Sold out. GetFree's list changes, so check the live page.
Other legal routes
- Promo codes on GetFree: claim a code from the developer and redeem it.
- Price-drop trackers: apps like AppRaven tell you when a paid app goes free for a while.
- Free trials: the app's own trial, often tied to a subscription.
Price trackers like AppRaven are good when you already know the app you want. GetFree is better for trying new indie apps.
What it will not do
GetFree's catalog is indie apps whose makers want early users. It won't hand you big-brand apps. Don't expect Photoshop.
