Is it worth to Subscribe Google Play Pass?

It purely depends on you. Google has not bundled with useless apps in this list. They manually checked the best of them and listed them. The amount is not cheap compare with the Apple Arcade, which is available from the same $4.99/month. But, In some countries, the subscription is available from less than $2/month with limited numbers. The model is like a streaming service. There are plenty of services available. But, We have to purchase them based on our interest. Sometimes we buy additional service because of our favorite movies and series available in our current service provider.

To explain this, You purchase Netflix for Stranger Things and other movies. The Mandalorian Baby Yoda comes in Disney+. You have to buy Disney Plus…:). Like that, it depends on your apps and usage. There may be a chance of your daily usage or favorite apps may or may not available on the list. But Google keeps expanding the inventory. Cost-wise it is worth because Apple provides 100+ list and Google offers 300+ list. Also, you can share this with six family members.

Final words

It is an excellent platform for developers to familiarize their apps with Playstore users. In my opinion, it is worth to buy based on users. If you didn’t utilize the apps, it is not worth to buy. When you use a lot of apps, it is worthy. If anything goes wrong, you can deactivate the subscription. The Refund process is different from the regular Google Play app purchase.

Google is launching a lot of new strategies in the Play Store. They already Introduced Google Play Points. Google Play Store is the only connectivity for Google with All Android Devices with different Manufacturers. They utilize this in recent days wisely.
