# Why am I seeing a different price than on the app store?

We run with a [**Pay What Feels Good**](/platform/policies/pricing.md) pricing policy.

The Shopify app store isn't designed for a fluid, discussion-driven pricing policy; instead, it's designed for predefined, static pricing tiers. So, we use that tier structure in the app store to present the suggested prices available for each Shopify plan. This has the side-effect of having Shopify present the smallest suggested figure as the "starting at" price for Mechanic, which is not an accurate description of how any of this works. :)

The price you see in-app is a suggestion, per step #1 of [our policy](/platform/policies/pricing.md). To learn what to do with that figure, [read the policy itself](/platform/policies/pricing.md).
