Interesting nugget: $9.99 a month unless you buy it through the iOS app and then you'll pay $12.99 a month. Google is making that Apple Tax quite clear.

- mmahemoff 11y agoSpotify is doing similar. I thought Apple had a rule that you couldn't price in-app payments differently, but maybe it changed at some point?
- JohnTHaller 11y agoWord is Apple relaxed the requirement as otherwise none of these services would permit iOS purchases at all. Basically, Apple changed the rules for specific companies in order to make money. And most iOS users are unlikely to be concerned with the price difference.
- lbradstreet 11y agoIsn't that against AppStore rules? It used to be that you couldn't charge a different price for an equivalent purchase.
- jonknee 11y agoI assume you can't mention it in the iOS app (it says $12.99 there, no mention of $9.99), but it mentioned in an email I got from YouTube: http://i.imgur.com/90fJxMS.png http://i.imgur.com/90fJxMS.png
- Natanael_L 11y agoIIRC that's for services and digital products only available inside the app store app, but not for external services and physical goods. This is an external service that happens to also be available via an app.
