Fair Prices Across the Globe

We localized the price for each country in this picture

We're trying as best as we can to keep our prices fair for everyone. You can't reach this goal by simply converting the price into other currencies, since purchasing power and cost of living vary significantly between countries. Instead, you have to compare what you can buy with that currency in a country. Since there is no straightforward formula for converting prices that way, we've invested a lot of time localizing our prices for more than 170 countries by researching representative products.

Niagara Launcher tells me my price was reduced by x%. How is that percentage calculated?

Explaining this is easier with an example: Suppose you're living in India and, when trying to purchase Niagara Pro, you see the message "We reduced our price by 89% to adjust for your country's purchasing power.". How do we calculate this rate? 

Since our business is based in Germany, we use the German price as a reference (e.g., 39.99 € for Niagara Pro lifetime). When we adjust our prices for India, we convert the German price to Indian Rupees using the currency conversion rate reported by Google Finance on a day close to when we update our prices. We last did this on September 6th, 2024. With that day's exchange rate of 1€ to ₹101,60, the Indian lifetime price would roughly be ₹4063.

Next, we research the prices of representative products and the overall cost of living in India. Based on that, we adjusted our Indian price to ₹433,01. Lastly, we round our price to a better-looking number. In this case, we rounded it to ₹420.

We can now calculate how much our final price (₹420) is cheaper than the price we got just by converting the German price to Indian rupees (₹4063): It's roughly 89% cheaper, hence our 89% price reduction message.

Price Decreases

Our general policy is to guarantee anyone the best possible price for Niagara Pro, which is why we generally do not offer temporary discounts or price decreases. As Niagara Launcher develops further and we introduce more Niagara Pro features, we might increase our prices, so buying Niagara Pro or subscribing now is always the best deal.

However, as a result of significant currency fluctuations or due to the economic climate in certain countries, updating the prices and price localization can decrease the price of a Niagara Pro in some countries. This exact thing happened twice thus far:

⚠️ We can only offer price decreases for our subscription in most of the listed countries, since Google doesn't allow us to do such a fine-grained localization for one-time purchases (Niagara Pro Lifetime in our case).

Countries affected by the price decrease in Q1 2021:

Algeria, Bangladesh, Brazil, Bulgaria, Cambodia, Czechia, Georgia, Indonesia, Iraq, Kenya, Kuwait, Malaysia, Morocco, Myanmar, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines (the), Poland, Romania, Russian Federation (the), Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Ukraine, Vietnam.

My country isn't listed even though it has a relatively low GNI per capita.

Unfortunately, Google Play doesn't support localized pricing for all countries for Niagara Pro Lifetime. Please take a look at the list from this Google support article. We cannot offer localized prices for Niagara Pro Lifetime in countries marked with a black star in the "Buyer Currency and Price Range" column, and we apologize for the inconvenience. However, Google allows more fine-grained price localizations for subscriptions. Our Niagara Pro subscription price is localized for all countries. 

What if I had already bought Niagara Pro before?

Early Access members got Niagara Pro cheaper in most countries and can keep Niagara Pro for the same price. If you bought the yearly subscription before a price increase, you can keep the subscription at the old, lower price. If you purchased the annual subscription before a price decrease, the subscription will renew at the new, lower price.
