> I've read that on average as supported free apps cost more over the life of the app than by paying a dollar up front for no ads. The reason being because of the data fees involved in geolocation and serving you the ads. I don't know if the same holds true for pandora or spotify but it's something to consider. Basically what I'm suggesting is that free isn't free.

An increasingly-recognized teaching, but worth repeating still:
When you appear to be getting something (an app, a game, a song, a movie) without sending money, then the product that is being sold is *you* — your identity, your location, your shopping preferences, whatever.
