Tip: Claude Max Subscription Costs $50 More via iOS App Store Than Web — Always Subscribe Direct

r/ClaudeAI·medium signal

A user discovered Claude's 20x Max plan costs $50 more when purchased through the iOS app versus claude.ai directly, entirely due to Apple's App Store commission. The 127-upvote r/ClaudeAI post warns that this applies to any tier — the markup scales with subscription price. For builders on Max plans, this is a straightforward $600/year savings by subscribing via web.
