Yes, for as long as the offer runs. These are paid apps, or paid upgrades, that their developers have dropped to zero for a limited time on an official store such as Google Play, the App Store or the Microsoft Store. You claim them with your own store account and pay nothing. In-app purchases and subscriptions inside an app are usually not part of the offer.

It means that what you claim during the offer stays unlocked on your account for good: no trial period and no subscription to renew. You can uninstall the app and install it again later, on the same device or a new one signed in to the same account, without paying.

Yes, as long as you claimed it before the offer ended. A paid app you "buy" for free is recorded in your store purchase history like any other purchase, so it stays in your library after the price goes back up. You do not even need to install it straight away: claiming it is enough.

A short free window can bring an app thousands of new users in a few days. That lifts it in the store charts, earns reviews and gets people talking, which helps it sell once the price returns. Developers also use giveaways to launch a new version or to promote their other apps.

We check the stores several times a day. New offers are added as soon as they go live, and an offer moves to the "Recently expired" section as soon as it ends, so everything in the main list can still be claimed. Many app offers last only a day or two, so claim the ones you want early.
