USD equivalents (local price below). Gap = how much more the dearest region pays than the cheapest. – = no confident price from that vantage point.
Prices as seen from our four fixed vantage points (Phoenix, US, Singapore, London, UK, Taiwan) on 2026-10-03: one visit to each public pricing page, in the currency the page showed. USD equivalents use European Central Bank reference rates (via Frankfurter, api.frankfurter.dev) (2026-10-02); ExchangeRate-API open access (open.er-api.com), for currencies the ECB does not publish (2026-10-03). Taxes (VAT, GST, sales tax) may or may not be included and may differ at checkout; app-store, student, family and promotional prices can differ. Only prices we extracted with confidence are shown; a missing cell means the page was blocked, needed JavaScript or the plan price could not be read with confidence.
