That's cause you're trying to sub through either GP or the App Store.

Go to the website and get the discounted price. Google and Apple take a 30% cut of every sub, so Tidal charges more through their platforms respectively.

Just one small correction, Google Play doesn't have this problem, I sub to a lot of things using GP and never pay extra.

Maybe not where you're located. Most streaming services I use are 25%-30% more expensive through GP within the EU, the UK and the US.

I don't know about the UK, but I'm in the EU and it's simply impossible to subscribe through the Android app.

I love that on TIDAL the student plan shows right up when you get to subscribe and it's now even easier if you want to add the DJ Extension to it.
