You can use Yalp Store [1]. It allows to search and filter Google Play Store apps based on (i) Apps with ads, (ii) Paid apps and (iii) Apps using GSF.

Another reflex is to look on the F-Droid Store if an equivalent FOSS application exists before looking for one in the Google Play Store. There are some excellent apps there, such as NewPipe [2] for instance!

I second this. Finding apps became a lot easyer and faster with F-Droid/Yalp combo. I can look for a free app on F-Droid and if it does not exist I can find a alternative on Play Store, an all with no GSF installed on the phone.
