01How to read the multiplier

When you set a US price in App Store Connect, Apple fills in every other storefront automatically, converting currency and including local tax. The multiplier compares an app's real local price with that automatic price: 1.00× means the developer left Apple's price alone, 0.60× means the app costs 60% of what Apple would have charged there, 1.20× means 20% more.

Apple's price for US$29.99 — the local customer price App Store Connect sets for a US$29.99 price, read 2026-09-23.
Median and middle 50% — across every measured app that sells in both the US and that storefront.
Below / above — share of apps priced more than 15% under or over Apple's automatic price.
Localizing apps — the median among the 36 apps that deviate by more than 15% in at least 20% of their storefronts; shown only where at least three of them sell.

Sorted by the share of apps priced more than 15% below Apple's automatic price. The US is the baseline (1.00×) and is not a row. EU storefronts were not measured.

03What the table shows

Most apps don't touch local prices. 84% of 4,308 pairs are within ±15% of Apple's automatic price, and 95 of the 131 apps never deviate in enough storefronts to count as localizing.
Most apps priced below Apple's price: Indonesia 40%, Türkiye 40%, Brazil 33%, Vietnam 29%, Nigeria 27% of the measured apps sell more than 15% under Apple's automatic price there. Even there the median app sits at 0.87×–1.00× — cutting below Apple's price is a minority move.
Lowest medians, localizing apps only: Nigeria 0.46×, Türkiye 0.53×, Egypt 0.60×, Indonesia 0.80×, Chile 0.80×. Among apps that do adjust, these storefronts get the deepest cuts.
Priced above Apple's price: rare — the highest shares are Israel 30%, Switzerland 9%, Colombia 5%. This data does not show why; a price can be set by hand, or left over from before Apple last changed that storefront's price points.

04Method, sample and limits

Sample. 131 subscription apps that compete with our own apps in 20 niches (from word games to aviation weather), chosen as competitors before this page existed. It is not a random sample of the App Store. No app is named on this page or in the data.
Prices. For each app and storefront, the "In-App Purchases" list on the public App Store page (apps.apple.com/<cc>/app/id<id>) was read on 2026-09-22 – 2026-09-23. The list shows customer prices without the billing period, so products are matched to the US list by name; the app's ratio in a storefront is the median of local ÷ US over its matched products.
Apple's automatic price. App Store Connect's equalized prices for 43 US price points (every .99 step from US$0.99 to US$29.99, then sparser up to US$199.99), read 2026-09-23. Each product is compared with Apple's price at its own US price point, because Apple's rounding differs by point: US$9.99 becomes NZ$19.99 while US$29.99 becomes NZ$49.99. 329 product matches whose US price was more than 10% away from any of these points were not compared.
Exclusions. 7 app-storefront pairs with a multiplier below 0.1× or above 10× were treated as parsing errors and left out. 4,308 pairs remain.

What this cannot tell you: whether lower prices sell more, what these apps earn, or how many buyers pay the listed price (introductory offers and trials are not visible in the list). EU storefronts and the other App Store markets outside these 35 were not measured.

Frequently asked

Does Apple set App Store prices per country automatically?

Yes. When you choose a price in your base storefront, App Store Connect generates prices for every other storefront, converting currency and accounting for taxes. You can then override any storefront manually.

Do app developers really change prices by country?

Mostly not. In our 2026-09-22 – 2026-09-23 measurement of 131 subscription apps, 84% of app-storefront pairs were within ±15% of Apple's automatic price, and 36 apps (27%) localized prices in a meaningful share of storefronts.

Where are App Store subscriptions cheapest relative to the US?

Measured against Apple's own automatic price, the lowest medians among apps that localize were Nigeria 0.46×, Türkiye 0.53×, Egypt 0.60×, Indonesia 0.80×, Chile 0.80×. The storefronts where the largest share of all apps undercut Apple's price were Indonesia 40%, Türkiye 40%, Brazil 33%.
