Personally paid for Niagara launcher as I find that to be the far superior launcher to any other I’ve tried. My second one is Symfonium, the most feature rich and well developed audio player.
What are yours?

My Android paid must haves are: Titanium Backup (for scheduled backups and quick recovery), Threema (Messenger) and airMusic (former AirAudio, stream from mobile to e.g. Sonos).
What makes Threema better than Signal?
I am not aware of any advantage, but my family and friends are using either Threema, Signal or Telegram. So I use all three of them.
Why Threema?
The largest criticism levied against Threema:
Its business model and not requiring a phone number
I think Signal still required phone number for registration, but you no longer have to disclose it to others.
Signal still has that PII tho
Why is SimpleX getting shilled over Threema?
Last time I used Titanium Bckup it was losing compatibility and I moved on to Neo Backup. Did Titanium get updated again ad some point or something?
Titanium Backup hasn’t been updated in five years, and I think that update was just to meet requirements to stay on the store. Their last changelog entry is adding the menu icon after Android ditched the physical menu button. There are a bunch of settings that are broken or do nothing due to changes to Android over the decades (TB has been around for so long that it supports Android 1.5).
I’ve been using Swift Backup as a replacement these past few years. It’s closed source but was recommended to me, and I haven’t run into any problems yet. Is Neo better in some way, aside from being FOSS?
I’ve heard of Swift Backup but never tried it because I think it was paid or automatic backups were a paid feature or something. But for my simple needs Neo Backup has been perfect.
Yeah, it’s twelve bucks to unlock scheduled backups and cloud syncing in Swift Backup, but then again this post is about paid apps. :)
Which is perfectly fair. I just tend to be stingy about paying for apps when there’s a free one that does what I need.
Nothing wrong with paying for something that’s worth it, though.
Titanium has been abandoned for years. Swift backup is what I switched to, or DataBackup on GitHub if you want a free option.
Latest version I know is 8.4.0.2 from 2020-05-16 downloaded from here http://www.matrixrewriter.com/android/files/TitaniumBackup_latest.apk.
I use Titanium since Android 4 and had indeed some troubles (related to storage access rights) on Android 11. After solving those, Titanium ran fine like on older versions of Android. Did not yet try Titanium on newer versions than Android 11.
Thank you for the hint and link to Neo Backup, I will give it a try. (Ah, just saw it is an incarnation of OAndBackup, nice.)
Hope it works for you, since other comments also mentioned Titanium having issues and being unmaintained.
+1 for AirMusic. I use it for my snapcast multi-room streaming setup.
