Medium: Read & Write Stories

According to AppPriceHub data, Turkey (TR) has the lowest Medium subscription price among all 37 available regions, at approximately ¥2.76/month — only 8.1% of the US price of ¥33.98/month. Compared to the US region, subscribers can save around ¥374.7 per year. The global average is approximately ¥385.53, making Turkey far below the mean. Subscribing in the Turkey region requires registering a Turkish Apple ID and topping up with a Turkish App Store gift card. Exchange rate fluctuations may cause minor price variations.

Register a Turkish Apple ID using a local Turkish address to complete the sign-up process. Switch to that account in the App Store, download Medium, and navigate to the subscription page. Purchase a Turkish App Store gift card to top up your balance, then complete the subscription. Medium offers both monthly and annual billing — monthly is recommended so you can decide whether to renew based on exchange rate changes, reducing currency risk.

The main risks of subscribing to Medium via the Turkey region include: Turkish lira exchange rate volatility may increase actual costs; Medium has previously investigated accounts showing regional inconsistencies, which carries a small risk of account restrictions; gift cards from unofficial sources may lead to account suspension. It is recommended to use a dedicated Turkish Apple ID kept separate from your primary account, and to purchase gift cards only through official or reputable channels to minimize risk.

According to AppPriceHub data, Medium costs approximately ¥2.76/month in Turkey versus ¥33.98/month in the US — a monthly difference of about ¥31.22 and an annual saving of approximately ¥374.7. The highest regional price globally reaches ¥1,834.90, a gap of over 660x compared to the lowest price. This makes Medium one of the content subscription apps with the most extreme regional price disparities. Users who have the means to access a low-price region are strongly advised to do so.
