    F-Droid is great, but APKPure have more apps (Non FOSS) so I usually install both, when the app is not in F-Droid, and there isn't a good alternative, then I use the APKPure repository.

    APK pure offer a variety of applications, almost all that you can and can't find in Google Play Store. F-Droid is a specific store that offer open-source applications. If you didn't find an app on the Play Store because of your location (like Supercell apps, Warner Bros apps) for sure you won't find them on F-Droid.
