The original
APKPure
An alternative Android app store and APK download site that works without a Google account.
Replacements
Listings that take over the same core job as APKPure.
Uptodown
A long-running alternative Android app store for downloading APK files without a Google account.
Uptodown is also a closed-source APK store without a Google account, adding older app versions for rollback and automatic updates of installed apps.
Aptoide
An independent Android app store for finding and downloading apps and games outside Google Play.
Aptoide is also a closed source store with a web storefront, but its catalog leans towards games and its front page promotes casino-style titles.
Aurora Store
An open-source client for the Google Play catalog that installs and updates apps without a Google account.
Aurora Store is open source and pulls apps from the Google Play catalog instead of third-party mirrors, though it cannot download paid apps.
F-Droid
An app store and client for free and open-source Android apps that works without a Google account.
F-Droid is open source and only offers free and open source apps built from source, so many proprietary apps found on APKPure are unavailable.
Huawei AppGallery
Huawei's official app store for installing and updating Android apps on Huawei and other devices.
Huawei AppGallery is an official vendor store with its own catalogue, which differs from Google Play, rather than a site redistributing third-party APKs.
Samsung Galaxy Store
Samsung's app store for Galaxy devices, offering apps, games, themes and Galaxy-only offers.
Samsung Galaxy Store is a vendor store intended for Samsung devices, adding themes and Galaxy-only offers, and has no general APK download site.
