Australian-specific pricing notes
Most AI subscription services bill in USD. The AUD equivalent fluctuates with the exchange rate (approximately 1 USD = 1.55 AUD as of June 2026).
GST: AI subscriptions from overseas providers are generally subject to Australian GST (10%) when the supplier has the obligation to collect β check whether GST is included in the listed price.
Apple/Google Play purchases: Often priced in AUD on Australian App Stores (e.g., Duolingo Max, Cleo, Frollo) β check the local store price.
Enterprise pricing: Most enterprise AI contracts are in USD regardless. Factor in currency risk for multi-year contracts.
AWS/Azure/GCP Australia regions: Using Australian cloud regions may have a small price premium vs US regions. Check regional pricing.
