This is true for every app with IAP. It’s how I typically decide if I’ll download an app with IAP.
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.
> Three Cells Weekly $2.99
> Lifetime Access to Three Cells $29.99
> Three Cells Weekly $2.99
The ratio here feels a bit off, $155.48/y or $29.99 for life screams "trying to push you to pay a lot for an app I know you won't stick with" rather than "we've got great value options for any type of user". There is a 7 day trial as well, so even more confusing as to which kind of user is supposed to want the weekly payment.
