What to charge for your app in Malaysia
A burger in Malaysia costs 13.7500 MYR (≈ $3.39), about 55% of the US price. That's the purchasing-power signal: a US-priced app is too expensive here, so people don't buy. Here's what to charge instead.
| A US price of… | …in Malaysia (safe) | …aggressive |
|---|---|---|
| $4.99 | 11.99 MYR −40.7% | 7.99 MYR −60.5% |
| $9.99 | 23.99 MYR −40.7% | 15.99 MYR −60.6% |
| $19.99 | 40.99 MYR −49.4% | 31.99 MYR −60.5% |
| $29.99 | 60.99 MYR −49.8% | 48.99 MYR −59.7% |
Safe = margin-protected (cap ~65% off). Aggressive = deeper into the market, à la Seraleev. Rounded to generated store tiers · calculate for your exact price →
