Reference conversion at the euro reference rates of Oct 23, 2026 (ECB and Frankfurter). Not the amount you are billed, and never part of a "cheapest" statement.
Tax bases differ between countries; each row shows its own.
Each store charges the price of the country your account or payment method belongs to. Changing that country is governed by the store's and the vendor's terms. This table compares official prices; it is not a guide to switching.
