I have been using Endel for almost a year and like it a lot. My subscription renews the 5th of November. I was looking at the subscription page under iCloud settings and found many subscription prices there. I have been paying 269kr for the 1st year ($US31).
I thought that the different prices were because different countries or something like that, but was very surprised when I tapped on a lower one-year subscription price of 219kr ($US25) and saw that it was possible to renew using this lower value. The app doesn't appear to lose any features and there is no mention at all of these different subscription prices anywhere on the App Store description or on the web.

It is not the first time I find these kind of discrepancies with the value of app subscriptions or in-app purchases.

I would appreciate an explanation for this. It doesn't feel right that you are been tied into paying a higher value for a service when they are offering it at a lower price buried inside the subscription page.

Wow, that's totally bizarre. I'd recommend contacting the developer, as there's no use in us guessing.

Yes, it is very strange. I was thinking this was a common trend on the App Store as I have found other apps with multiple subscription fees buried inside the subscription page under iCloud.
I will definitely contact the developer about this.

I have it seen as well with a music service I have used in the past and always thought when I renewed my subscription that it was:

- different price in other countries
- old/existing users (subscribers) pay a cheaper price then newer users

I'm in the U.S., but both Fantastical and HBO Max (both apps I subscribe to) display the same multiple (even duplicate) prices under the subscriptions page in the App Store.
