2106 free apps, chosen by the community. Top of this view: Signal - Private Messenger — #1 overall. The overall rank spans all apps and changes with every vote. How the ranking works →

This list shows the apps that come from the store without a purchase price — across every category and device. It is mostly searched by people who want to solve a problem without paying first, and it is useful because free is not the same as free of cost.

So this list needs some framing. "Free" here means the download costs nothing. In-app purchases are possible, and the business model behind them varies widely — a full version with a subscription, a trimmed-down version to try, ad funding, or an open source project that genuinely costs nothing. Before installing, three things are worth checking: which features are actually included, how much advertising comes with them, and what data the app asks for. With free offerings in particular, the old question applies: how does the provider earn its money?

As everywhere on Most Voted Apps, the order comes from community upvotes minus downvotes — regardless of price.
