On mobile, buying the pro plan is 1.50$ more than on web.
Why would you buy it for 1.50$ more if Bunpro is accessible from both web and mobile?
Also, the mobile app is still in alpha and has several bugs which the website doesn’t have.
What’s that 1.50$ unexplained “other”?
They replied in another forum post recently. You have app/play store fees if you’re not on the website
See the app announcement blogpost for the official reason
There is now in-app support for purchasing a Bunpro Subscription extension. We highly recommend using the onsite option as it is cheaper due to the included app store fees. Additionally, in-app purchases are consumable rather than recurring so they wont automatically renew.
The difference in price from web to mobile is likely due to Bunpro raising the price to account for the app stores taking a % cut of the money. So they raise it to make up for that. The difference in price from the mobile app to what Google says it costs is because of the difference in currency.
6.49$ is 5.68€ not 7.50€ so it cannot be that. Even with a % from conversion it cannot be higher like 2€ more
Buy it on web, not mobile. App store pricing is the reason, don’t even bother trying to do your conversions because this is a real thing, and something that happens for every kind of sub you buy via an app store ecosystem, such as podcasts.
And its not Bunpro adding the cost, its app stores themselves. They want more money and can easily skin more out of lazy/ignorant folk.
But they spent some time to develop the feature of adding the possibility to buy the pro plan from mobile.
So I need an explanation from the Bunpro Team itself, isn’t it a waste of time developing something that would not be used?
And also, explain the numbers.
I am not asking for a suggestion on where to buy the plan.
I ask for an explanation of those 6.49$ / 7.50€, +50%. That’s all.

Hey!
The base price is 6.50 due to the app store/play store fee (compared to the website).
However in some countries/states the price is automatically increased by the local tax like vat.
Seeing you are using euro, then it is at least 12% minimal vat used in EU. Likely your country has around 20 percent of vat.
In next update will include local tax in the displayed price.
Sorry for the inconvenience 
I don’t work for bunpro so don’t take this as their reason but to give the most common “why offer it at all through the app then” reason… Some folks prefer to have all their subscriptions managed from the same place in their phone and are willing to a premium for this.
On iOS on top of this Apple does not allow apps to mention or redirect to a web page to pay for a subscription and will block your app update if you were to try, so providing an in app option is highly beneficial there.
