app-store-pricing

app-store-pricing is a skill for Claude Code from markdavidgan/apple-dev-skills. It costs 66 tokens per session (2,879 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to setting prices for Apple App Store purchases and subscriptions worldwide. It explains Apple's available price points, currencies, regional pricing, offers, and how price changes affect proceeds.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set prices for in-app purchases and subscriptions, plan introductory or promotional offers, compare regional prices, estimate proceeds, and manage price changes.
Why use it?
Apple uses a fixed system of price options that varies by country, so ordinary pricing methods may not fit. This helps plan changes without treating every market the same way.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

app-store-pricing scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

App Store Pricing

Strategic guidance for App Store pricing using Apple's official 900-price-point system, global equalization, subscription management, and regional pricing decisions.

All guidance is based on Apple's official pricing capabilities (March 2023 onwards). Do NOT reference pre-2023 fixed tier tables or third-party price matrices — they are outdated.

When to Use

  • Do use when the user asks about App Store pricing, IAP pricing, subscription pricing, regional pricing, price changes, proceeds calculations, or base storefront selection
  • Do use when setting up introductory offers, promotional offers, or offer codes
  • Do use when planning a price increase or decrease for subscriptions
  • Don't use for general SaaS pricing theory (Van Westendorp, MaxDiff, etc.) — those frameworks don't apply to Apple's constrained price-point system
  • Don't use for payment processing outside the App Store

Apple's Pricing System (Official)

900 Price Points

Apple offers 900 price points per currency (800 default + 100 higher on request up to $10,000). Price increments are:

Price Range Increment Example Prices
$0.29 – $9.99 $0.10 $0.29, $0.39, $0.49 ... $9.99
$10.00 – $49.99 $0.50 $10.00, $10.50, $11.00 ... $49.99
$50.00 – $199.99 $1.00 $50, $51, $52 ... $199.99
$200.00 – $499.99 $5.00 $200, $205, $210 ... $499.99
$500.00 – $9,999.99 $10–$50 $500, $510, $520 ... $9,999.99

Pricing Conventions

Apple supports multiple price endings per region. Common conventions:

Convention Range Best For
.99 $0.99 – $9,999.99 Standard app/IAP pricing
.00 $1.00 – $10,000 Clean numbers, annual plans
.90 $0.90 – $99.90 Discounts, promotions
.95 $0.95 – $49.95 Psychological pricing

China has additional conventions ( endings in 8, 9, .80, .90). Choose the convention that matches your market positioning.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
