App Store subscription pricing in Colombia
Goods and services in Colombia cost about 38% of what they cost in the United States (World Bank price-level index, 2025). A $4.99 US subscription scaled to that price level is about $1.89, which rounds to Apple’s $1.89 price point before Apple converts it to COP.
Price-level-adjusted prices for Colombia

The last column is the US-dollar price point whose COP equivalent you would schedule for Colombia. Apple sets that equivalent from exchange rates and local taxes. AppPriceKit reads the exact COP price from App Store Connect when you connect your app, and the sample shows the full flow without an account.
Should you charge less in Colombia?
With Apple’s default equalization, a $4.99 subscription costs roughly the same in COP at market exchange rates. Measured against local prices, that is about 2.6× as expensive for someone in Colombia as $4.99 is for someone in the US. A lower local price often converts better, but the index measures prices, not incomes in your niche, so treat it as a starting point and watch your conversion and refund rates after the change.
