The Snapd has a function that get the price of a snap. Do we want to show the possibility that it might cost something to use this snap?

Snapd.get_prices

@lah7 and I thought that we shouldn't do anything with snaps or other application that aren't free in the backend. The front-end will be the one discarding the applications that aren't free as long as we required it.

What do you think @flexiondotorg ?

@JeffLabonte Currently, there are no paid apps in the Snap Store. That should change though. I don't think we should hide apps because they cost money, it is possible FOSS devs will publish "community-supported" versions of their apps with a nominal price attached to support their projects.
