Updating app database daily through internet connection

Question

I would like to know what are my options and what are the best practices for apps that update themeselves regurarly though internet connection. Example app: Livescore app which updates itself with the latest match results.

What are the best "free" ways to do this? (a server might cost me money for this?). So far I found a tutorial which uses google sheets. Do you recommend it?

My app is going to update itself once a day.

Thanks in advance!

Firebase. Upgrading is not necessary, unless you're looking for some special features / capacity. Pubnub. Great for real-time data transfer. Free version is up to 1M messages. I would search online for other services as well, if I were you.
