There's the Playsearch website which allows you that without having to install anything beforehand:
Playsearch website, your criteria marked (click image for larger variant)
In addition to what you asked for, you even can specify how long ago the last update should be at maximum, what size the app should have, what Android version it should support, how well it ranks (stars) – and how wide-spread (number of installs) it should at least be.

Not sure with native Google Playstore, but you could use Yalp or a fork of Yalp, Aurora (F-droid link), it has many search filters e.g for ads, gratis, number of downloads etc..
Aurora Store is an alternate ( FOSS client) to Google's Play Store, with

This seems suspiciously commercial. What is your connection to this app - developer, company owner, other? Is there a disclaimer of some sort due here? I am also suspicious of their statement that the device has to be "prepared" for the app to work. Why? A video to show the procedure, but I don't see a statement of the ramifications.

@wbogacz f-droid is a known repository of open source/free apps for Android, and the app is simply installed.I am using my real name, and have a linked.in link in my profile, you are free to visit my CV and my long time bona fide U&L SE profile to find out I have no links with them. And I cannot understand how you jumped to that conclusion in a guy answer that says it is using an app for non-enterprise use that there are commercial implications. I made no special "preparations" for it rather than downloading the f-droid apk and authorising it to install apps.

@wbogacz Using a VPN that filters ads is the classic Android way of eliminating ads without root access. Another app that does exactly the same would be DNS66. These are hosted on alternative app stores because blocking parts of other apps violates the play store rules.

@wbogacz I used DNS66 also via f-droid before trying blokada. Blockada seems more effective and more flexible.

There is a brand new website, still officially in beta, called AppFilter.
It allows the user to search for apps, while filtering for ads, IAP's, paid/gratis, ratings, category, and more.
It seems to work well, and currently has over a million apps indexed.
It is free to use, and the author (no affiliation with me) is seeking donations to improve the server.

This seems suspiciously commercial. What is your connection to this app - developer, company owner, other? Is there a disclaimer of some sort due here? I am also suspicious of their statement that the device has to be "prepared" for the app to work. Why? A video to show the procedure, but I don't see a statement of the ramifications.

@wbogacz f-droid is a known repository of open source/free apps for Android, and the app is simply installed.I am using my real name, and have a linked.in link in my profile, you are free to visit my CV and my long time bona fide U&L SE profile to find out I have no links with them. And I cannot understand how you jumped to that conclusion in a guy answer that says it is using an app for non-enterprise use that there are commercial implications. I made no special "preparations" for it rather than downloading the f-droid apk and authorising it to install apps.

@wbogacz Using a VPN that filters ads is the classic Android way of eliminating ads without root access. Another app that does exactly the same would be DNS66. These are hosted on alternative app stores because blocking parts of other apps violates the play store rules.

@wbogacz I used DNS66 also via f-droid before trying blokada. Blockada seems more effective and more flexible.

This doesn't answer the question, nor is it a "frame challenge" or an "XY-problem". The idea is to support ad-free apps.

There is a brand new website, still officially in beta, called AppFilter.
It allows the user to search for apps, while filtering for ads, IAP's, paid/gratis, ratings, category, and more.
It seems to work well, and currently has over a million apps indexed.
It is free to use, and the author (no affiliation with me) is seeking donations to improve the server.

There are similar questions about filtering apps by a specific permission or in-app purchases.

@IrfanLatif Unfortunately only possible with flakey VPN solutions or root :(

@Jon rooting is unavoidable. You can't get desired privacy, performance and usability without root access.
