Note that, although (AFAIK) the Accrescent client is free software, it's hardcoded to only support their own store which last I checked had no guarantee that it only offers free software. Its marketing seemed to rely a lot on spreading FUD about F-Droid even though it fundamentally serves a different purpose than F-Droid.
Thank you for adding important context.
