ShortMax Subscription: US Prices and Plans

Which plans and coin packs are publicly listed?

The table copies the distinct labels and prices on Apple's US listing on September 28, 2026. Repeated entries with the same label and price appear once. Apple does not show a complete checkout catalog here. “One-time Purchase” and similar generic labels do not say how many coins you get.

This table is a snapshot. It does not guarantee a checkout price. If an offer changes before you buy, the purchase screen and receipt show what you accepted. See ShortMax overview for the catalog and free-viewing context.

What would a 60- or 90-episode series cost?

For a hypothetical series with 60 paid episodes, one $9.99 weekly pass would average $0.17 per episode if it covered every one of them and you finished during the week. At 90 paid episodes, it would average $0.11. At the $19.99 weekly price, those figures become $0.33 and $0.22. These are division examples. No current series is claimed to have those episode counts, and a pass may not cover every show. Count only paywall episodes, not a show's total length. If coins are required, use locked episodes × coins per episode ÷ coins per dollar in the pack. The public listing gives no reliable coin charge per episode for a current show, so a firm total is not possible.

To work it out:

1. Count the locked episodes left.
2. Note the coin cost of the next few episodes.
3. Note the pack's base coins and bonus coins separately.
4. Compare that total with a pass whose term and catalog coverage your checkout shows.

If the charge per episode changes, recalculate. A pass is only cheap if it includes the series and you finish inside its paid window.

Which plan is cheapest per month?

The visible US purchase list has no named monthly offer, so no cheapest monthly plan can be named. Four weekly charges make a useful budget check. They are not a monthly subscription price. To compare offers, write down each plan's price, renewal interval, included shows and renewal date. Then compare a full month of likely viewing instead of the headline price. No annual plan is labeled on the list, so there is none to assess.

Why can iPhone, Android and web prices differ?

The table comes from Apple's US listing. Google Play and a publisher's website can show different offers, payment routes, promotions, currencies, and tax treatment. Apple's own list shows more than one price for some labels, so no single entry applies to everyone. No Android or web price is given here, because no matching current publisher or store source was found. Check the offer where you will actually pay, then save the receipt.

What is the cheapest legitimate way to finish one series?

Start with the free episodes or rewards that your series actually offers. Count the locked episodes and compare the total coin requirement with the least expensive pass that covers that series for long enough. Buy only through the app's store checkout or the publisher's own site. Avoid copied uploads and promises of free coins. The legitimate free-viewing guide lists the safe routes. The cross-app price table helps you compare offers.

How do you cancel and request a refund?

Cancel through the company that billed you. Deleting ShortMax does not cancel a Google Play subscription, and it does not replace the Apple cancellation flow. Check your receipt if you cannot find the plan.

These are the current Apple cancellation instructions, Google cancellation instructions, Apple refund instructions and Google refund instructions, checked September 28, 2026. If a plan is absent, check the Apple or Google account on the receipt before assuming it ended.

The ShortMax cancellation guide gives the full route for each billing store. Canceling a plan does not request a refund. The ShortMax refund guide covers that, and how to reach ShortMax support matters if a purchase never showed up in the app.
