Aptoide. I have seen pirated paid apps on Aptoide, but any app marked as "verified" is not pirated (as in, it's available free of charge elsewhere) and the app's signature on Aptoide matches the app's signature on Google Play. Everything in the main "apps" repository and some apps in other repos are verified.
Aptoide is useful for downloading older versions of Android apps, especially when APKMirror doesn't have an entry for the app.
Fun fact: Aptoide is open source and F-Droid is actually a fork of Aptoide.
