I know from personal experience of making and selling an App Store app [1] that it can be difficult to show accurate pricing on your products website. There can be 175+ different territories that you may sell an app in, each with a different local price point. You also can't expect to simply show a converted $US dollar amount either as you may want to do price discrimination (so that the app is cheaper for regions that cannot afford the exact $US equivalent). Overall options seem to be: 1. Don't show pricing and leave it for the App Store to display - the most common approach 2. Only show $US pricing on the website and let non-US customers manually translate to their local pricing - not a great experience for non-US users 3. Manually or automatically sync pricing on the website display with the actual current App Store pricing. This is quite a labour or integration intensive task and I've only seen this been done by large vendors [1] https://www.magiclasso.co/ |

It's a worse experience for someone to convert USD to their currency (instant mentally or 2 seconds on Google) compared to launching the app store, installing the app, getting to the purchase menu, and seeing the price?
