What to charge for your app in Saudi Arabia
A burger in Saudi Arabia costs 19 SAR (≈ $5.07), about 83% 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 Saudi Arabia (safe) | …aggressive |
|---|---|---|
| $4.99 | 14.99 SAR −19.8% | 14.99 SAR −19.8% |

| $19.99 | 55.99 SAR −25.3% | 55.99 SAR −25.3% |
| $29.99 | 93.99 SAR −16.4% | 74.99 SAR −33.3% |
