Exchange rates

Billing currency
Nigerian Naira (NGN). Amounts after ≈ are converted at the rates above into your display currency; percentages and local prices don’t change with it.
Tax
Nigeria: 7.5% VAT included. US: Sales tax varies by state 0-10%, not included in the listed price, so part of a gap can be tax.
How often we check
  • Daily: popular apps on the App Store and Google Play, official-site prices, exchange rates, and game stores (Steam / Nintendo eShop)
  • Rolling: apps users watch are refreshed every 3 days; every other tracked app every 15 days

A price marked “to verify” is out of line with the same app elsewhere, or doesn’t match the store’s own listing. It stays in the lists but out of every figure. How the index works →
