Google developer account (Publisher)

Question

I was just looking through to create a developer publisher account for Google and I came across that I need to pay $25 fee.

IS it possible to create a developer account for free e.g. for students, teachers... like with Microsoft developer account.

If not, is the $25 fee, one time or do I need to pay for every app I upload.

Answer 1

From Google site

There is a one time $25 registration fee charged for a Google Play Developer Console account. We charge this fee to encourage higher quality products on Google Play (ie. less products with SPAM).

here. So no, you'll pay it only one time and then publish as many apps as you want.

Answer 2

You only pay once for all the apps you upload and you can even share this account by giving permission to other Google accounts to upload apps.
