Are app subscriptions on iPhones more expensive than on Android devices?

There is a common notion that apps and services on Apple iPhones cost more on Android devices. To put this to the test, we checked the prices of some of the most popular subscriptions on Android and iOS.

Google subscriptions like YouTube Premium and Google One are more affordable on Android smartphones. Since both Android and these services are developed by Google, there’s no platform fee required, making subscriptions up to 20 per cent cheaper on Android devices. This is the reason why you cannot subscribe to services like Netflix directly from an iPhone or an Android smartphone.
