They can't show "Apple Fees" in the app, as per Apple's rules. They would only be able to show the total.
In many cases it's not a great idea because it makes it look like your product is a lot more expensive than it is, and the customer has no idea there's a way to get a better price. It happened to me with Youtube Premium, I thought it was expensive at €16 (instead of €12 in reality), and only found out by chance it was the iOS pricing.

I mean if you do that you should stumble upon the actual price and maybe an explanation for the higher price in the appstore. It's less a problem for Basecamp than for Spotify, who have a more mainstream product and audience.
- benhurmarcel 6y agoWell if the app tells me it costs $X, I have no reason to doubt it and double-check on the web. Unless I know about that Apple policy, but most consumers don't.
- jankassens 6y agoUnclear to me, but this might disallow a higher price for Apple in-app purchases: > 3.1.3(b) [...] You must not directly or indirectly target iOS users to use a purchasing method other than in-app purchase, and your general communications about other purchasing methods must not discourage use of in-app purchase. from https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#multiplatform-services https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#mul...
