I have an Android game that is already live on Google Play as a free title. I’m ready to switch it to a paid app, remove the free listing, and keep everything else exactly as it is—no new features, art, or pricing advice required. I have not yet created the paid version inside the Google Play Console, so you will need to handle the full console workflow: duplicating or converting the existing package, updating the monetization setting, uploading the new signed AAB, and submitting the release for review. The price point has been decided, so please just apply it during the update and make sure the change propagates to all storefronts. Once the listing shows the correct price and the free version is no longer searchable or downloadable, the job is complete. Deliverables: • Updated store listing showing the set price • Successful release of the paid version using the existing package name • Confirmation that the previous free listing is removed or hidden and users are directed to the paid app If you are familiar with Google Play Console publishing flow, app signing, and policy compliance, this should be a quick task.

Hello, I can help switch your live Android game in Google Play Console to a paid app using the existing package name, signed AAB, app signing, release review, and storefront pricing setup. I’ve handled Play Console publishing flows before, including production releases, app signing checks, monetization settings, pricing availability, and review submission. I understand you do not need new features, art, or pricing advice, just the console workflow completed cleanly. I’ll verify the current app setup first, confirm whether Google Play allows the existing free app to be converted directly in your case, then apply the paid setting, upload the signed AAB if required, submit the release, and make sure the old free listing is no longer searchable or downloadable once the paid version is active. I’m ready to start. Best, Smit

Hi, I can help you with converting your free game to a paid listing on Google Play. I know the console well: you need to create a new paid app listing in the same developer account, upload the signed AAB with the existing package name, set the price, and unpublish the old free version. I'll handle the full workflow so the paid version goes live and the free one is no longer searchable. Quick task if you're ready with the signed AAB. Happy to chat more.

Hi, I can help you handle the full Google Play Console workflow to transition your existing Android game from a free listing to a paid release while keeping the app itself unchanged. I have experience with Google Play publishing, app signing, AAB management, monetization setup, and release compliance. I can prepare the paid version correctly, upload the signed bundle, configure the pricing across storefronts, manage the release submission, and ensure the listing reflects the updated monetization settings. I will also review the safest approach for handling the existing free listing because Google Play has restrictions around directly converting a published free app into a paid one after release. If needed, I can duplicate the app properly while preserving branding, metadata, and store assets so users are redirected smoothly to the paid version. The goal will be to make the transition clean, policy compliant, and fully functional with minimal disruption. I would be grateful for the opportunity to assist with this release and will gladly accept any feedback you may have. Best, Justin

Hi, you need a clean Google Play transition from free to paid without disrupting the existing app setup or confusing current users. I’ve handled deployment workflows, app updates, and release management across production environments, and I can take care of the Play Console process from signed AAB upload through pricing rollout and removal of the free listing while keeping the package identity intact. Do you already have the latest signed AAB and Play App Signing access available, or should I also help regenerate the release build if needed? Best Regards, Fizza Nadeem K

I can help with this, We will handle the full Google Play Console workflow: creating the paid listing, updating monetization settings, uploading the signed AAB, and submitting for review. One important note. Google Play does not allow converting a free app to paid on the same package name. We will set up a new listing with the correct price, migrate the store assets, and unpublish the free version. A couple of quick things to confirm: 1) Do we have access to the app signing key, or is Google managing it? 2) Should existing free users retain access? The number quoted here is a starting estimate. The exact cost and timeline will be confirmed after we go through the full scope together. Looking forward to your response. Best regards, Faizan

I will also ensure the free version is properly removed or hidden from search and that users are redirected to the paid listing without issues. Before submission, I will carefully check versioning, signing, and console settings to avoid rejection or delays. check our work https://www.freelancer.com/u/ayesha86664 Do you already have the signed AAB ready for the paid version?

Hey — saw your post about converting your free Android game listing. The tricky part here is switching to paid without tanking your existing visibility and user momentum. Quick question before I suggest an approach: Are you planning to convert the existing listing directly, or create a separate paid listing and migrate players? I’ve helped other mobile games transition pricing models on Google Play, including handling store listing changes, pricing, and minimizing impact on existing rankings. If you send the current Play Store link and a short note on your goals (one-time purchase vs other options), I can review and tell you the cleanest way to handle the switch.

Hello, Switching your Android game from free to paid without breaking anything is all about handling the Google Play Console flow precisely and safely. Your goal is clear: keep the same game, same package, and simply turn on paid access while hiding the old free version. I’ve spent 7+ years working across mobile app development and publishing, including Google Play Console workflows, app signing, and release management. Here’s how I would handle your project: 1) Access your console and duplicate/convert the existing package into a paid listing using the decided price. 2) Upload the new signed AAB, ensuring versioning and signing are correct. 3) Configure monetization and rollout so the paid version is live under the same package. 4) Verify that the free listing is removed/hidden and users see only the paid app in all storefronts. 5) Final testing and confirmation screenshots for you. Best regards, Sajat Prasad

Switching from free to paid on Google Play is more than a price change in the Console. If your app has ads or in-app purchase logic built for the free version, those need to come out before resubmission or Google will flag it. I can audit the current APK, handle any code cleanup, and update the listing so your paid version goes live clean. Two days, available now. The bid reflects the post as written and may adjust once I see how the free version is set up. Want to jump on a quick call?

Hi there. The first thing to flag is Google Play does not allow an already published free app to become a paid app using the same package name, so the safe path is a new paid listing and hiding the free one. The risks are package name limits, signing key mismatch, lost reviews, store visibility delay, wrong price rollout, and policy rejection. I will first check the Play Console status and app signing, then prepare the paid AAB, pricing, release, and unpublish or hide the free listing. Do you accept a new package name for the paid version? Do you already have the signed AAB ready?

Hello, Google Play does not allow switching an already published free app directly into a paid app, so the safest workflow is creating a new paid listing while preserving the existing branding, assets, and release structure. I can handle the full Play Console process — package update, signed AAB generation, app signing, pricing setup, rollout, and hiding/unpublishing the free version correctly. I’ve worked on Android publishing flows involving Play Console policy compliance, keystore migration, and release management. I can also verify storefront propagation, check for signing conflicts, and make sure users are redirected cleanly to the paid version with minimal disruption. This should be a quick turnaround once I review the current source code and existing signing setup. Do you already have access to the original keystore and source project for the current live app? Looking forward to working with you. Srdjan
