What "Free" actually means
The listing advertises no paid tier. That is genuinely free rather than a trial, but it also means the vendor earns nothing from your install — worth weighing against how actively the app is likely to be maintained.
Whatever the label says, the calculation is the same: a announcement bar app has to lift revenue by more than it costs. Our break-even calculator works out the lift you would need against your own orders and margin — for most stores it is a fraction of a percent, which means the subscription is rarely the real question. The payload the app adds to every page load usually is.
