What a Play Console account costs

Registering yourself

Registering with Google is a one-time US$25 with no annual fee, paid by credit or debit card such as MasterCard, Visa or American Express; prepaid cards are not accepted. Personal accounts registered after 13 November 2023 also need the closed test.

What drives aged-account prices

• Registration year: older is rarer.
• Type: organization accounts usually cost more.
• Country and verification status.
• Number of live apps and their downloads.
• Whether signing keys and source are included.
• A clean policy history.

Public listings for accounts with apps range from a few hundred to a few thousand US dollars. We quote per account card, not a flat price.

Hidden costs

• Time: the official transfer has a 7-day hold.
• Paperwork: you verify with your own payments profile.
• Compliance: your apps still go through Google review.
