Truly free apps have only have a Get button next to them.


Freemium apps have a Get button with In-App Purchases below the button. Might be free as is. Might require a subscription to keep using it after a set amount of time. May not require a subscription but isn't very usable without ponying up for the in-app purchases.


Straight up cost apps have a price listed rather than Get.
