Google increases price limits for apps in the Play Store

For the past three years, the maximum amount a developer could charge for applications or in-app purchases on the Play Store has equated to a total of $200 (USD). However, last night Google updated its official Developer Support page with a new ceiling price limit, which now enables developers to charge as much as $400 (USD) for their offerings.

Here is a list of the new prices:

• United States – previous limit $200, current limit $400
• Canada – previous limit $210, current limit $500
• United Kingdom – previous limit £150, current limit £300
• Most Euro currency countries – previous limit €199, current limit €350
• Mexico – previous limit MXN 2,500, current limit MXN 7,500
• Australia – previous limit $200, current limit $550
• India – previous limit INR 16,000, current limit INR 26,000
• Indonesia – previous limit IDR 2,200,000, current limit 5,500,500
• Brazil – previous limit BRL 500, current limit BRL 1,500

While it’s pretty unlikely that you’ll open up the Play Store tomorrow and find an app retailing for $400, it’s possible that developers will update their applications with new in-app purchases that reach the extended limits.
