Google Play Store, Galaxy Store, App Store and AppGallery.
None of them can update the apps automatically. Whatever I tried never worked.

          About time I think. And really, Google make so much money off everyone's personal data that it's not even going to affect their bottom line if a small minority use an alternative payment method, the cost is a rounding error to them. They're already getting the £25 registration fee.

          Ditto too for Apple (who require anything from £100-300 a year depending on company size), no matter how much they like to lie about user privacy (saying Apple is better at privacy than Google is like choosing between eating toothpaste and dogmess, one's definitely far worse but neither are good).
