Localized pricing infrastructure

Stop losing global customers
to mispriced plans.

Charging the same price worldwide means you are overcharging users in lower-income markets by 3-5x. They know it. CurrencyCore's PPP API converts any price to its locally-equivalent value in a single authenticated request.

Why localized pricing fails

Manual parity research does not scale.

Most SaaS teams know they should localize. Almost none do, because the process is slow, opaque, and breaks every time a market's economic conditions shift.

01

Weeks of research, months of staleness

A single-market pricing audit takes a finance team weeks. The output is a spreadsheet that no one updates. By Q3, the numbers you launched with are already wrong.

02

No authoritative source of truth

PPP factor calculations require IMF World Economic Outlook data, currency rates, and country-level granularity. Most teams cobble this together from three different spreadsheets and hope the formulas are right.

03

Checkout abandonment in APAC, LATAM, MEA

Charging $99/month in India, Brazil, or Egypt at nominal USD rates effectively prices out 80% of your potential market. Those users see the price, calculate their local salary context, and leave without converting.

04

Hardcoded tiers break on currency moves

Teams that do localize often hardcode regional prices into their billing system. When the currency moves 15%, the price becomes wrong again, and re-pricing requires an engineering sprint.

How CurrencyCore solves it

One flag. Fair-market price. Every market.

Add ppp=true to any conversion request and get back the IMF-backed purchasing-power-equivalent price for the target country. No actuarial tables. No maintenance. No engineering sprint per market.

One flag, not a formula

Add ppp=true to any /v1/convert call. CurrencyCore applies the correct IMF factor for the source and target country pair. No spreadsheet, no custom formula, no hardcoded regional logic required on your side.

IMF-sourced, annually refreshed

Factors come directly from the IMF World Economic Outlook, the same source institutional economists use. Data is updated annually as new IMF projections are published, so your pricing stays grounded in current economic reality without any manual work.

Country-level precision

Pass ISO alpha-3 country codes (fromCountry=USA, toCountry=IND) for precise regional factors. Currencies shared by multiple countries, like EUR across 20 nations, get the right factor for the right market, not a blended average.

Edge-cached for checkout latency

PPP factors are cached at Cloudflare's global edge, the same infrastructure that serves the rest of the CurrencyCore API. At checkout, your pricing call returns in under 50ms from anywhere in the world, with no cold-start penalty.

Implementation

Three lines of code. Fair-market pricing in production.

PPP conversion is a single parameter on the same endpoint your billing stack already calls for currency conversion. No new SDK, no new service, no new vendor contract.

# Nominal conversion (what most APIs return)
GET /v1/convert?from=USD&to=INR&amount=99
→ { "result": 9344.61, "rate": 94.39 }

# PPP-adjusted conversion (fair-market equivalent)
GET /v1/convert?from=USD&to=INR&amount=99&ppp=true&fromCountry=USA&toCountry=IND
→ {
    "result": 2019.70,
    "rate": 20.40,
    "pppApplied": true,
    "pppYear": 2024,
    "pppSource": "IMF World Economic Outlook"
  }

Who uses PPP pricing

Built for every team that sells globally.

SaaS Founders

Launch with fair-market pricing in APAC, LATAM, and MEA from day one, without a pricing analyst on staff. Set your USD anchor price and the API handles every market automatically.

Growth Product Managers

Run geo-targeted pricing experiments without hardcoding regional tiers. Adjust the PPP multiplier at the API level and measure checkout lift in each market within a single sprint.

Billing Engineers

One authenticated API call replaces the entire custom PPP calculation stack. Deterministic output: same country-year pair always returns the same factor, making it safe to cache and audit.

Pricing that converts.
