Today we’re introducing a new way people can pay for their automatically renewable subscriptions in the App Store: monthly subscriptions with a 12-month commitment. This new payment option allows you to offer subscribers more affordable options. Individuals can cancel their subscription at any time, which will prevent the subscription from renewing after they have completed the agreed payments to fulfill their commitment.
To provide transparency, people can easily see the number of completed and remaining subscription payments in their Apple account. Apple will also send emails and, if enabled, push notifications before the renewal date to remind you of your next purchase.
You can now set up this subscription type in App Store Connect and test it in Xcode. With the exception of the United States and Singapore, monthly subscriptions with a 12-month commitment will be available worldwide for people running iOS 26.4, iPadOS 26.4, macOS Tahoe 26.4, tvOS 26.4, and visionOS 26.4, or later, with the release of iOS 26.5, iPadOS 26.5, macOS Tahoe 26.5, tvOS 26.5, and visionOS. 26.5 in May.
