YouTube prime is $7 cheaper if you subscribe on the website
I just fell for it. If you subscribe through the iOS app it’s $7 more expensive. Presumably this is because of the Apple cut. This is crazy!
- ado__dev 3y agoYeah a lot of apps charge about 30% extra if you subscribe through the app due to the Apple tax. It's best to go to the site directly and see what the actual price is.
- PaulHoule 3y agoPro tip: don't use a phone for anything you could possibly use a desktop computer for and you can undo maybe 5 years of enshittification.
- ectospheno 3y agoI subscribe via apple if at all possible because it sticks all my subs together on one screen. The dates for each are clearly listed. I can unsubscribe from any with a click. The markup is worth all hassle being removed.
- IronWolve 3y agoNoticed some content stuff is cheaper if you buy directly, not just on apple. Audio books, authors, music, etc.
- drakonka 3y agoI do this with my books - everything from my direct store is a little cheaper. This is because I get a much bigger cut of the royalties selling direct (90-100% minus transaction fees depending on direct sales platform, compared to other storefronts' 30-70%). I also value direct sales a lot because these readers let me bypass a dependency on another middle-man and give me better reach to the customer.
