What Is the Apple Developer Program?
The Apple Developer Program is a paid membership that allows developers to distribute apps on the App Store, TestFlight, and other Apple platforms. The annual cost is $99 USD. Without an active Developer account, you cannot publish iOS, macOS, watchOS, or tvOS applications.
There are two main account types available: Individual and Corporate (Organization). Let's compare them in detail.
Individual vs Corporate: Key Differences
| Feature | Individual | Corporate |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $350 | $650 |
| App Store display name | Personal name | Company/brand name |
| Team access | Solo only | Multiple team members |
| Legal entity required | No | Yes (D-U-N-S number) |
| Trust level in App Store | Standard | Higher (corporate brand) |
| Suitable for | Solo devs, freelancers | Studios, agencies, teams |
| Guarantee | 7 days | 7 days |
Individual Account — When It Makes Sense
An Individual Apple Developer account is the most common choice for solo developers and freelancers. It's simpler to set up and doesn't require any legal entity documentation.
Best for:
- Solo developers publishing personal apps
- Freelancers working on client projects
- Anyone testing or prototyping an iOS product
- Developers who don't need a team of collaborators
💡 Key point: With an Individual account, your apps on the App Store will show your personal name as the developer. If branding under a company name matters to you — choose Corporate.
Corporate Account — When It's Worth It
A Corporate Apple Developer account is designed for companies, studios, and development teams. It allows you to publish apps under your company or brand name and add multiple team members with different roles.
Best for:
- App development studios and agencies
- Companies that want a branded presence on the App Store
- Teams with multiple developers, designers, and QA engineers
- Projects that require a higher trust level for enterprise distribution
💡 Key point: Corporate accounts require a D-U-N-S number — a unique identifier for your company. If you buy a ready-made Corporate account from us, this is already handled — no paperwork needed on your end.
What About Account Renewal?
Apple Developer accounts are subscription-based — they need to be renewed every year. Without an active subscription, your apps will be removed from the App Store.
We offer Account Renewal for $200 — this price includes the Apple subscription cost. We accept accounts with expired subscriptions up to 1 week old. Payment only after successful renewal.

All accounts we provide come with 2FA via Telegram: after delivery, you're added to a private Telegram chat where SMS verification codes arrive in real time. Numbers stay active for 14 days for free, with an extension option at $5/month.
Which One Should You Choose?
The answer depends on your use case:
- If you're a solo developer or freelancer — go with Individual ($350).
- If you run a studio, team, or want a brand name on the App Store — go with Corporate ($650).
- If your account has expired — we can handle the Renewal ($200).
