App marks a price paid in the iPhone app (App Store), which is often higher than the vendor's own website; every other price is the vendor's website or its own store. Each product is compared country to country in one channel only.
How to pay another country’s price
South Korea sits close to the world median, so the saving depends on the product.
-
Pick the country
Open the product’s page: it names the cheapest country for that product, and the next one as a fallback.
-
Connect a VPN to that country
A storefront reads your country from your IP address when you sign up. Connect to a server in that country before you open the signup page.
Compare VPN plans Sponsored · SafeShell VPN -
Pay with a card the checkout accepts
Many regional checkouts take a foreign card; when they refuse it, a multi-currency card that pays in the local currency usually passes, without a conversion fee eating the saving.
Open a Revolut account Sponsored · Revolut -
Sign up and keep the region
Complete the signup as normal. The regional rate usually stays with the account for as long as you remain subscribed — the VPN is needed at signup, not every day. Full guide, with what can go wrong.
Before you do this: Paying a different region’s price usually breaks the vendor’s terms of service, and some checkouts verify a local billing address. Read the terms before you switch. Catalogues and features can differ by country, so confirm the price on the official checkout first. What breaking the terms means in practice.
The two buttons are affiliate links: if you sign up through them the site earns a commission, at no extra cost to you. They are the only paid links on the page and never affect which country ranks where. Full disclosure.
