Questions people ask

How do you know a game has no ads?

We read the store listing’s own advertising declaration and exclude anything ambiguous. “No ads” here means none — not “ads optional”, not “remove ads for $2”.

Are ad-free games usually paid?

Not always. Plenty are free and sell cosmetics or a single unlock instead of your attention. The price and any in-app purchases are shown on every card.
