Why Your Online Business Needs Parity Pricing

Unlock Global Markets and Boost Revenue by upto 30%

If you're selling digital products or services globally but charging the same price everywhere, you're leaving massive amounts of money on the table.

Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) pricing isn't just a nice-to-have feature, it has become essential for any online business serious about global growth.

What is Purchasing Power Parity Pricing?

PPP pricing is simple: you adjust your prices based on the economic realities of where your customers live.

Instead of charging everyone $100, you might charge $100 in the US, $60 in Brazil, and $25 in India—making your product equally affordable relative to local purchasing power.

Major companies are already on board

  • OpenAI introduced ChatGPT Go for India and Singapore. (INR 399/month or USD 4.50/month. Compared to $20/month in the US.) It is a much cheaper plan made specifically for those countries. You can't buy it from the US.
  • Steam games are priced up to 70% lower in emerging markets.
  • Spotify Premium is $9.99/month in the US, $1.60/month in India.
  • Adobe Creative Cloud is $54.99/month in the US, $7.20/month in Turkey.
  • Netflix is $15.49/month in the US, $2.82/month in Pakistan, $21.48/month in Switzerland.

Why PPP pricing is a must for your online business

Massive revenue growth without more traffic.

Real businesses are seeing incredible results. Dave Foy reports that 30% of his revenue now comes from PPP-priced purchases, sales that simply wouldn't have existed without location-based pricing.

Tap into untapped markets worth billions.

Of the 4.95 billion people with internet access worldwide, only about 700 million can comfortably afford Western-priced digital products. PPP pricing instantly opens your product to the remaining 4.2 billion potential customers.

Stay Ahead of Competitors.

Less than 10% of digital product creators use PPP pricing, which means you can gain a massive competitive advantage simply by being smarter about global pricing.

Future-Proof Your Business.

Middle-income countries now account for 53% of global GDP.Companies that establish relationships in these markets now will benefit from their growing purchasing power over the coming years.

Addressing the Common Concerns

"People Will Abuse It with VPNs"

Yes, some people will try to game the system. But here's what actually happens: the revenue from legitimate customers in lower-income countries far outweighs losses from VPN abuse. Modern PPP tools include VPN detection, and the abuse rate is typically under 5%.

I'd rather help the 95% of people who genuinely need it than worry about the 5% who might cheat. - Dave Foy

"It's Unfair to Customers in Rich Countries"

This isn't about fairness, it's about economic reality. A German customer paying full price and an Indian customer paying 30% both experience the same relative financial impact. You're not discriminating; you're equalizing.

"It's Too Complex to Implement"

Not anymore. Modern tools make PPP pricing as simple as adding one line of code to your website. Platforms like Evendeals automatically detect visitor locations, display appropriate discount banners, and handle all the complexity for you.

Pros & Cons

The pros massively outweigh the cons. The question isn't whether you should implement PPP pricing, it's whether you can afford not to.
