App Store subscription pricing in Mexico
Goods and services in Mexico cost about 54% 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 $2.68, which rounds to Apple’s $2.69 price point before Apple converts it to MXN.
Price-level-adjusted prices for Mexico

The last column is the US-dollar price point whose MXN equivalent you would schedule for Mexico. Apple sets that equivalent from exchange rates and local taxes. AppPriceKit reads the exact MXN 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 Mexico?
With Apple’s default equalization, a $4.99 subscription costs roughly the same in MXN at market exchange rates. Measured against local prices, that is about 1.9× as expensive for someone in Mexico 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.
