Help & documentation

Welcome

App Pricing Manager prices your App Store products per territory. Instead of one US price copied everywhere, you see every storefront with its purchasing-power tier, taxes, and your own sales — and set a price that fits each market.

The loop is always the same: analyze → propose → push → undo if needed. The app suggests and explains; nothing changes on the App Store until you review and push it yourself.

Connect App Store Connect

The app talks to Apple’s App Store Connect API with a key you create once:

1. In App Store Connect, open Users and Access → Integrations → App Store Connect API.
2. Generate an API key with a role that can manage pricing — App Manager or Admin.
3. Copy the Issuer ID and Key ID, and download the .p8 file — Apple lets you download it only once.
4. In the app, paste all three (or use Import .p8 File) and press Connect App Store.

The price grid

The main table shows every App Store territory on its own row:

• Tier (T1–T4) — the territory’s purchasing-power group, from richest to most price-sensitive.
• Factor — the multiplier applied to your base US price for that tier (for example ×0.65 for T3).
• USD Point — the resulting US-dollar price point from Apple’s schedule.
• Local Price — what the customer actually sees: local currency, VAT included, locally rounded.
• VAT, GDP, Rev 30D — the tax rate, the country’s GDP rank, and your revenue there over the last 30 days.

Filter territories with ⌘F, or narrow the table to one tier with the All · T1 · T2 · T3 · T4 control. Click a row to open its territory panel.

The territory panel

The panel on the right shows one territory in full: pick a US dollar price point and the card below breaks it down — base price, tier factor, VAT, and the final local price. Apply price stages the change in your draft.

Below that, Price change history charts every change this territory has seen, with the old and new price for each date.

Proposing prices

Propose prices fills the grid with a suggested price for every territory at once. Suggestions start from the purchasing-power tiers and are adjusted by your own data — traffic, conversion trends, and refunds.

Suggested rows get a Proposed badge, with the current price struck through underneath. Every suggestion explains itself in the territory panel — you can accept it, adjust it, or discard it per row.

Draft & push

Edits don’t go anywhere by themselves — they pile up as a local draft, counted in the unsaved changes pill. When you’re ready, Push changes opens a review sheet with the full list of changes and a revenue forecast for the batch.

Confirm, and the app submits everything to App Store Connect in one batch, reporting progress and any per-territory errors as it goes.

Scheduling

Instead of pushing now, you can schedule the batch for a date. Each storefront switches at its own local midnight — Auckland first, Honolulu last — so no market changes price in the middle of its day.

A scheduled push runs exactly what you approved. You can cancel it any time before it fires.

Rollback & history

Every push first snapshots the prices it replaces. The History pane in Settings lists every push you’ve made; pick one and a single click restores every affected territory to what it was.

Rollbacks are ordinary pushes under the hood — they appear in History and Results like everything else.

Results

About two weeks after a push, Results compares the period before the change with the period after: conversion and revenue, side by side, for that batch of territories.

Fresh changes show as Pending until enough data has arrived. If a later push re-prices the same territories inside the window, the report is marked as superseded rather than showing misleading numbers.

Apps, IAPs & subscriptions

The Product menu in the header switches between everything you sell — paid apps, in-app purchases, and subscriptions. Each product gets the same grid, the same proposals, and the same draft-and-push flow.

Apps from your account live in the sidebar; switching between them keeps each one’s draft intact.

iCloud sync & App Lock

Drafts, presets, and push history sync only through your personal iCloud database, and the App Store Connect key travels via iCloud Keychain — install the app on your iPad and it’s ready to go. Nothing goes to our servers (there are none) or to any third party.

If other people use your machine, enable App Lock in Settings: the app then opens with Touch ID on the Mac (Face ID on iPad), or your device passcode.

Subscription & billing

App Pricing Manager is a subscription: {pm} a month or {py} a year. One subscription covers your Mac and iPad, every app in your account, and all 175 territories.

Billing is handled by Apple. Manage or cancel the subscription in your App Store account settings — cancelling keeps the app active until the end of the paid period.
