Should I buy a Google Play developer account?

Buying an account is far riskier than publishing through one. A sold account still carries the seller’s verified identity, and because Google now requires ID verification tied to a real person, an account whose owner-of-record is someone else is one verification prompt away from being frozen — taking every app on it down with it. Marketplace accounts also often arrive with a hidden strike history. If you need Play access without your own verification, publishing on an established, verified account and transferring the app out leaves you with a clean account in your own name.

Own a Google Play developer account?

ConsoleMint is an app monetization company: it builds Android apps, publishes them, maintains them and monetizes them with in-app advertising, then shares the ad revenue with the publishing partner whose Google Play account distributes them. Developer-role access only — never owner access, never a password — revocable with 30 days notice.
