Google and Apple tend to charge app developers for using their payment services. And if I recall correctly, Apple has even been in anti-trust lawsuits over how they forbid app developers from helping users find the cheapest option. | |

Instead buy - in a supermarket - a Google Play card, and then load that to your Google Play account. That way, if there is an-app payments, the payment can't be taken from your credit/debit card. Once your Google Play credit is exhausted, then the transaction will be declined. The same applies to Apple, etc | |
