Don't get me wrong, this isn't some attack on GenyMotion, after my inquiries, they were nice enough to send me a 2 week trial and my experience was that it was a lot faster than the default Android Emulator (even with HAXM). Them: No, if you plan to make money of (sic) your app, personal use version can't be used anymore.Īs you can see, their free license is quite restrictive. Me: Hey, if I am creating an app for commercial purposes but it is currently not being monetized, can I use the free version? If you are paid to build apps or earn money with the apps you build, it is not a personal use anymore as our term of use.īut what if the app is in development and not being monetized yet? Me: If you plan on releasing an app with ads or is paid, then you will not fall under the free license, correct? I decided to email them (this was a from a few months ago) to make sure: That is quite restrictive and probably won't apply to 90% of even indie devs. This license is granted to the end user only and exclusively in connection with personal use, the end user is an individual, and not a professional, who downloads the application for personal and private needs, excluding commercial and professional environment. I looked into their Terms and Conditions, and under the free license section, it states: Hey fellow devs, I know you guys heavily recommend GenyMotion over the default Android emulator (and for a good reason), so I just wanted to make sure that you guys are aware of how restrictive their free license actually is.
