That's helpful, thank you.

But I'm not even going to bother looking if an app can't clearly advertise its price.

It just feels like a dark pattern, like they're intentionally trying to trick me from the very start.

Maybe the price will turn out to be fine, but it's sure not building trust from the start.

That is the standard way to advertise your price in the App Store. What is more transparent than.. clearly posting your price?
I'm talking about the website that has been posted.
Making the app cost X amount makes it immediately obvious how much it costs. IAP do not share this, even if they are posted publicly off in some corner.
