Two numbers that were actually there
Minecraft formatted at €6.99. Balatro formatted at €9.99. Both numeric prices matched the formatted strings. I treat both as paid listings. I do not add tax footnotes. The lookup did not separate them.
Checked: the price field and, where the description contradicts a zero, the description. Result: two paid figures, two Gratis lines, one empty price, one free-to-try sentence.
Minecraft formatted at €6.99. Balatro formatted at €9.99. Both numeric prices matched the formatted strings. I treat both as paid listings. I do not add tax footnotes. The lookup did not separate them.
Brotato: formatted Gratis, numeric 0, and the description I stored does not add a later fee. The Room Pocket: formatted Gratis, numeric 0, and the description says a one-off fee unlocks the game after the first level. Those are different price lines. The tags on the ranking cards keep them apart.
Mini Motorways: both price fields null. Writing Gratis there would be a guess. The cell stays empty in words.
I did not convert the euro prices into another currency. I did not estimate a session cost. I did not claim that a larger package costs more to download. Size and price are separate columns.
Where the price note stands: the verdict table repeats these five outcomes and nothing else.
A storefront price can change by country. This capstan read the Netherlands lookup only. A United States card is a different document. It was not the input.
If a reader bought the app under another storefront, their receipt is the price that applied. This page does not reconstruct it.
I lined the five outcomes up again as a table in words so the ranking page and this dispatch cannot drift.
Minecraft, paid, €6.99, numeric 6.99. Balatro, paid, €9.99, numeric 9.99. Brotato, Gratis, numeric 0, no unlock sentence in the stored description. The Room Pocket, Gratis, numeric 0, unlock sentence present, amount absent. Mini Motorways, formatted price null, numeric price null.
None of those outcomes is a discount, a sale, or a regional comparison. I did not open a second country code.
A reader who already owns one of the paid apps will see a different button on the store. This capstan cannot see their Apple ID, and it does not ask for one. The price printed here is the price on the public card.
Byte size is deliberately not in this dispatch except as a warning not to mix the columns. A 93.5 MB paid app and a 1.24 GB paid app are both paid. The euros do not scale with the bytes in any rule I checked, and I am not proposing one.
If a later Netherlands lookup changes Balatro’s €9.99 or fills Mini Motorways’ blank, the archive entry has to quote both the old cell and the new cell. Replacing the number quietly would break the checked date.
The store buttons use rel noopener nofollow and open a new tab. The price on the far side of that tab is Apple’s live card, which may already differ. The date on our side is what makes the difference visible.
