What Is the Apple Developer Program?
The Apple Developer Program gives you everything you need to distribute apps on the App Store, access beta software, use advanced app capabilities, and reach Apple devices worldwide. It costs $99/year regardless of account type.
There are two main account types available for purchase:
- Individual — registered in the name of a single person
- Corporate (Organization) — registered under a company's legal name
Key Differences
The table below breaks down the most important differences:
| Feature | Individual ($350) | Corporate ($650) |
|---|---|---|
| Account name in App Store | Your personal name | Company / brand name |
| Team members | Solo only | Up to 25+ team roles |
| Role management | ✗ No | ✓ Yes |
| Legal entity required | ✗ No | ✓ Yes (D-U-N-S number) |
| In-App Purchases | ✓ Yes | ✓ Yes |
| TestFlight beta testing | ✓ Yes | ✓ Yes |
| App Store presence | Developer's name visible | Brand name visible |
| Suitable for agencies/studios | ✗ Limited | ✓ Yes |
| GEO availability (via devaccount.space) | 10+ | 10+ |
When to Choose Individual
An Individual account makes sense when:
- You're a solo developer or freelancer publishing under your own name
- You don't need team collaboration features
- You're building a personal project, portfolio app, or MVP
- Brand recognition under a company name is not a priority
- Budget is a consideration — at $350, it's the more affordable entry point
💡 Good to know
Individual accounts still support In-App Purchases, subscriptions, and TestFlight. The main limitation is that your personal name (or the name tied to the Apple ID) will appear publicly on the App Store.
When to Choose Corporate
A Corporate (Organization) account is the right choice when:
- You want your brand or company name to appear on the App Store
- You have a team — developers, marketers, QA — who need different access levels
- You're running an agency, studio, or product company
- You need granular roles: Admin, Developer, Marketing, Finance
- You plan to scale and want a professional presence from day one
⚠️ Corporate accounts require a D-U-N-S number
Apple verifies your business using a D-U-N-S number (a unique business identifier). When you buy a ready-made Corporate account from us, this verification is already done — you get a fully functional account immediately.
What About Account Renewal?
Both Individual and Corporate accounts require annual renewal at $99/year to Apple. If your subscription lapses, you lose the ability to distribute apps. Our renewal service costs $200 and handles everything — we even accept accounts with subscriptions expired up to 1 week.
Renewal includes:
- Full renewal processing
- Payment of Apple's $99 subscription fee (included in price)
- Confirmation and support
- Pay only after successful renewal
Which One Should You Buy?
Here's a simple decision framework:
- Solo dev, side project, personal brand → Individual ($350)
- Company, studio, team, agency → Corporate ($650)
- Expired account you already own → Renewal ($200)
Both account types come with the same 10+ GEO selection, 7-day guarantee, and 2FA via Telegram. The difference is purely in branding and team management capabilities.
Why Buy a Ready-Made Account?
Getting a new Apple Developer account approved directly can take days or even weeks, especially for Corporate accounts requiring D-U-N-S verification. Ready-made accounts from Devaccount.space are verified and ready to use immediately — with transfer to OctoBrowser or cookie delivery, so you're set up in minutes, not weeks.
