Why Hidden Pricing Plans

  1. Offer High-Ticket Products Without App Store Fees

    • App stores often limit in-app purchase amounts and charge commissions of 15–30%. By using hidden pricing plans, you can offer high-priced products directly through your checkout link, bypassing these restrictions and fees.

  2. Provide Exclusive Access

    • Hidden pricing plans allow you to offer content to select users without displaying these offers publicly. This is ideal for content intended for a specific audience.
