Free Items
- Uploading and distributing apps: uploads from the website, client, or API and distribution through the app download page are free. No plan is required and there is no trial period.
- App download page downloads: free, with no installer size limit.
- Version-update downloads: currently free; they do not use the install API's daily free quota.
- Download traffic: download traffic is currently not limited, and no traffic package is required.
Storage Capacity
Storage is counted per main account; apps uploaded by sub-accounts count toward the main account. Base storage is free:
| Account status | Base storage |
|---|---|
| Identity verification incomplete, or a verified individual without an active paid plan | 20 GiB |
| Verified company without an active paid plan | 30 GiB |
| Verified account with an active ordinary paid plan | 50 GiB |
Capacity uses 1 GiB = 1024 MiB. Check Account menu → Usage for your actual total allowance. See Version Management for over-quota handling and historical-build cleanup.
Storage Packages
| Package | Validity | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 100 GiB | 12 months | ¥299 |
| 500 GiB | 12 months | ¥1,299 |
| 1 TiB (1024 GiB) | 12 months | ¥2,499 |
- Purchase from Account menu → Usage → Add Storage. Only the main account can purchase; sub-accounts share the main account's capacity.
- Packages add to the base allowance. Each order starts its own validity period when payment succeeds. Buying multiple units adds capacity; it does not extend another order's validity.
- While a storage package is active, the account is exempt from the 90-day download-inactivity cleanup rule. This exemption does not apply to capacity-overage cleanup or cleanup you start yourself.
See Account Center for the purchase steps.
Download Fees
| Method | Cost |
|---|---|
| App download page | Free |
| Version-update downloads | Free; do not use the install API's free quota |
| Install API | 200 free uses per account per day; excess usage is charged by installer size |
After the install API's daily free quota is used, each download costs (MB means 1024 × 1024 bytes on this page):
| Installer size | Cost per download |
|---|---|
| Up to and including 500 MB | ¥0.03 |
| Over 500 MB | No ¥0.03 base fee; ¥0.05 per 100 MB for the portion over 500 MB, rounded up to the next 100 MB |
For example, a 650 MB installer exceeds the threshold by 150 MB, which rounds up to 200 MB, so each download costs ¥0.10.
Fees are deducted automatically when a download is counted: a coupon that applies to download fees is used first; without one, the fee is deducted from the account balance. When the balance runs out, paid downloads fail while free downloads keep working. Top up via Account Top-up. See Download Pricing for counting rules.
Ad-Removal Packages
Ad-removal packages remove ads from app download pages.
| Package | Validity | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 1,000 uses | 12 months | ¥29.9 |
| 10,000 uses | 12 months | ¥259 |
| 100,000 uses | 12 months | ¥2,299 |
- Purchase from Premium Services PRO → Ad Removal Package in the Dashboard top bar. Only the main account can purchase.
- A package takes effect as soon as payment succeeds. Each visit to an app download page from mainland China uses 1; the earliest purchased package is used first.
- Remaining uses in a partially used package cannot be refunded.
- Whether an individual app uses ad-removal packages can be changed in App Settings.
