Questions
Should I subscribe on the web to dodge Apple tax?
That is the usual pattern when both exist. We will date it when both rows exist. Cancel the iOS subscription first so you are not double billed.
Can I share one c.ai+ with a group?
ToS call. Shared passwords get reset. Not a savings method we recommend.
Is a cheaper-country Apple ID worth it for c.ai+?
Only after a verified cheaper IAP row exists. Do not move a main Apple ID for an unverified $2 gap.
