You saw the renewal charge.
It looked wrong immediately.
The price was higher.
Much higher than you remembered.
You checked your plan.
Nothing had changed.
The real change wasn’t the plan — it was your country or currency setting.
Why Renewal Prices Change After Region Updates
- Subscriptions are priced differently by country
- Currency conversions affect final charges
- Taxes vary based on billing region
- Platform store pricing tiers differ globally
Even if the service is identical, pricing is localized.
Common Situations That Trigger This
- You moved to another country
- You changed your App Store / Google Play region
- Your payment method billing country updated
- You used a foreign card or payment wallet
The system automatically recalculates the renewal price.
Why the Amount Looks “Incorrect”
- Exchange rates fluctuate daily
- VAT or digital service tax may apply
- Localized pricing may be higher than your original plan
- Introductory regional pricing may no longer apply
So the renewal is valid — just region-adjusted.
What You Should Check First
- Your account country setting
- Store region in app marketplace
- Billing currency listed on the invoice
- Tax breakdown on the receipt
Renewal pricing follows location, not memory.
If your region changed, your subscription price likely did too.
