What to know first
Plus price gaps are concentrated in a few regions. Most regions match the US price, and many are higher; Colombia is the highest on both channels at about $31.57. Some web prices include tax and others do not. With tax, the Philippines is about $17.27 and Egypt about $17.85, which narrows the gap with the US pre-tax price. OpenAI and Apple both require your payment method to match your account's country or region, so regional prices tell you what your own region costs, not where else you can buy.
How is this ranking calculated?
All amounts use the exchange rates AISub updated on October 31, 2026 at 08:00 (UTC+8); 1 USD = 6.6696 CNY. Web prices are either tax-inclusive or tax-exclusive. Where AISub has a tax-exclusive amount (212 of 234 regions), the ranking uses it. The other 22 regions only have a tax-inclusive price, and that price is ranked as listed. AISub currently marks App Store tax treatment as unconfirmed and converts the store price as listed. See the AISub methodology for details.
Reference price (USD) = local list price (tax-exclusive amount where available) × exchange rate
Gap vs US = reference price ÷ US reference price − 1

What OpenAI and Apple say about region and payment method
- OpenAI's Help Center says Plus costs $20 per month in the US, billed monthly, and annual billing is not currently supported.
- OpenAI's multi-currency billing article covers web subscriptions only. Some countries can pay in local currency and the rest are billed in US dollars. Subscriptions bought in the iOS or Android app are managed by Apple or Google and charged in local currency.
- OpenAI's payment troubleshooting article asks you to make sure that both you and your card issuer are located in a supported country. Payment methods from unsupported countries are blocked.
- Apple says App Store prices follow your Apple Account's country or region, and changing it may require a valid payment method for the new country or region.

How should different readers use this ranking?
AISub does not sell subscriptions, top up accounts or take payments; it only records public list prices, and this ranking is reviewed against AISub's monthly data.
- If you live in a lower-priced region such as the Philippines, Egypt or Japan and hold a local payment method, compare your region's tax-inclusive web price with the App Store price and pick the channel that is easier to manage.
- If your web price is tax-exclusive, as in the US and Canada, local tax may be added; add it before comparing with the App Store.
- If your web price is tax-inclusive, as in the UK, the euro area and Singapore, the two channels usually differ by less than 1%. The bigger difference is that the subscription is managed by OpenAI or by Apple respectively.
- In Colombia, both channels list COP 99,900, about $31.57, or about 58% above the US.
