Aptoide filed an antitrust lawsuit against Alphabet's Google in a San Francisco federal court on April 15, 2026. The competing marketplace alleges Google maintains a monopoly over Android app distribution and payment processing.
Aptoide claims Google blocks competition despite the marketplace offering lower fees to developers. The lawsuit seeks a court injunction to halt the alleged anti-competitive behavior.
Aptoide is requesting triple damages for the financial harm it claims to have suffered.
