For some reason, I dislike apps, and prefer the old-fashioned ordering from a website. I suppose that I'm revealing my age . . . .

It's only been recently that one could even see the prices on the website. They seem to be moving toward a working storefront, but very, very slowly.
What the account gets you for now is the ability to buy from any of the app stores (Google, Apple and, if it still exists, Amazon) or from any of the apps (there are several apps for purchase that have one of the premium Bibles already installed (for example the
NKJV or
NIV Study Bible). If you create an account and "sync licenses", then you can install any one app and download the Bibles you bought from other Tecarta apps. For example, I bought my original set of Bibles from the Amazon store using free Amazon coins. I no longer use the Amazon store, but syncing the licenses lets me download those Bibles in the app from Google Play (or Apple if I had an iPhone).
If you only use a single app and only use Google Play, then Google Play keeps track of the purchases and lets you download them again if you reinstall, without needing a Tecarta account. For what it's worth, the account just requires an email address. They send you an email with a confirmation link, but after that, you only need the email address and password to login and sync.
If you don't want an account right away, my suggestion is to start with the KJV app. That and the Spanish Reina Valera app are the only ones that come with a free Bible (the other free ones just have the book of John as a sample).
Clear as mud?
Edit: One more caveat is that the app doesn't support the Apocrypha. The NRSV and RSV are available, but you only get the Protestant canon.
