Source · verified 2026-08-29
Apple Music Individual costs Rs 139/mo ($1.45) in India after the free trial — roughly a tenth of the US price — verified against Apple's India storefront on 29 Aug 2026. Billing runs entirely through your Apple ID set to India, which means UPI, Indian debit/credit cards, and Apple ID balance topped up with gift-card codes all work. No VPN or foreign card needed; this is the local storefront doing its job.

How to subscribe
- 1Make sure Settings → [your name] → Media & Purchases shows an India Apple ID — the Rs 139 price only appears on the India storefront.
- 2Add a payment method under Apple ID → Payment & Shipping: UPI is supported for Indian Apple IDs and is the least friction option if you don't keep money on cards.
- 3Alternatively redeem an Apple gift card code into your Apple ID balance; subscription renewals draw down the balance automatically each month.
- 4Start the trial from the Music app, then check the renewal date in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions so the first Rs 139 doesn't ambush you.
