How to manage your subscription in the Apple Store or Google Play Store
If you buy a Tuta subscription via the Apple Store or Google Play Store, please note that you also have to manage your subscription there. Because Apple and Google charge rather high fees for payment via the app stores, prices are slightly higher compared to when you book directly within the Tuta app. For instance, Tuta Mail Revolutionary in USA via the Apple App Store is priced at 39.99 USD/year.
On monthly plans, you can upgrade to Revolutionary via the Apple Store and Google Play for 3.99 USD, 3.99 GBP, 6.49 CAD, 3.80 CHF. For Legend prices via the app stores are 9.99 USD, 9.99 GBP, 15.99 CAD, 9.40 CHF per month. If you buy yearly, you get two months for free in each currency.
Apple Store
If you have an iOS device, you can use your AppleID to buy and manage a Tuta subscription. However, please note that subscriptions bought through the App Store have the same features as those bought via another payment method, but are managed a little differently.

Google Play Store
If you’re an Android user, you can now pay for your yearly or monthly Tuta subscription using Google Play Store payments. Check out our blog post for more information.
