They're free for now because the API they use is in beta... We don't know if it'll remain free.
Note that the clients being FOSS is of little relevance because all they do is forward a recording to a blackbox proprietary service run by a for-profit company.
The code that has access to your audio and does the actual task at hand is not FOSS in the slightest.
Seconding Audile, it's great
There's Ambient Music Mod, "Port of Now Playing from Pixels to other Android devices". It's not the same, but it allows for your device to recognise popular music even while offline, possibly on a regular basis. It requires Shizuku, though.
Wow looks great doesnt seem to be on fdroid tho
Audile is on F-droid, though it uses AudD for the actual music recognition backend. I'm not sure it's possible to have a FOSS backend for this kind of service.
That was such an awesome movie
Shaq's best performance.
On and off the court
If you ever feel limited by F-Droid, consider Obtainium. Supports F-Droid repos, and many others including straight from GitHub releases.
Audile should do the trick
I saw this: https://flathub.org/apps/io.github.seadve.Mousai
Haven't tried it
That's for desktop.
I love FOSS but honestly why does this need to be FOSS?
It is an app that has access to both your microphone and the internet.
Cos id like to get my phone as close to pure foss as possible
Becoss
Why does it need to be proprietary?
