Why you can trust Pocket-lint (Pocket-lint) — Possibly in an attempt to please critics and legislators, Google has kicked off a pilot in which it is allowing a «small number» of developers to offer a payment system in addition to Google’s own. Spotify will be the first app to participate and has even announced a «multiyear agreement» with Google. That means it will offer the Google Play billing system as well as a secondary choice of its own. «Users who’ve downloaded Spotify from the Google Play Store will be presented with a choice to pay with either Spotify’s payment system or with Google Play Billing», said Spotify in a statement.
