Apple users interested in signing up for TIDAL may be wondering why the subscription plans are being offered at a higher rate in the App Store.
Instead of paying $9.99 for the premium plan or $19.99 for the HiFi plan, consumers are being charged $12.99 and $25.99 for TIDAL services.
A TIDAL representative has clarified the issue with The Fader, stating “Apple’s policy is to charge TIDAL subscribers a 30% fee on your monthly subscription, for the life of your subscription, if you activate your subscription through the TIDAL app on your iPhone that you have just downloaded. You can easily get the $9.99 or $19.99 pricing by first creating your TIDAL account through TIDAL.com, then go to the App Store to download the TIDAL app. Once it’s downloaded you simply hit “Login” instead of “Sign Up” and you will be in the correct pricing plan.”
