The Core Difference in One Sentence
An Individual account shows your personal name as the developer in the App Store. A Corporate account shows your company name. That's the most visible difference — but there's more under the hood.

When to Choose Individual
An Individual Apple Developer account is the right choice when:
- You're a solo developer publishing personal projects
- The developer name in the App Store doesn't matter to your business
- You want the lowest entry cost
- You're testing the market before committing to a brand
- You operate under your own name as a freelancer
💡 Many successful indie apps are published under Individual accounts. The developer name is rarely the deciding factor for users downloading an app.
When to Choose Corporate
A Corporate Apple Developer account makes sense when:
- You run an app studio, agency, or product company
- Brand recognition in the App Store matters to your customers
- You need to add multiple team members with different access roles
- You're building long-term brand equity under a company name
- Enterprise or B2B clients expect a company name, not a personal one
What About the D-U-N-S Number?
Corporate accounts require a D-U-N-S number — a unique identifier issued by Dun & Bradstreet that Apple uses to verify the legal existence of your company. The accounts we provide already have this resolved — you don't need to obtain a D-U-N-S number yourself. The account comes ready for immediate use.
Price Difference: Is Corporate Worth $300 More?
The $300 price difference between Individual ($350) and Corporate ($650) reflects the additional effort required to register a corporate entity with Apple, verify the D-U-N-S, and set up the account under a legal entity. If brand name and team features matter to your business, the extra cost is easily justified.
✅ Pro tip for studios: If you're managing multiple apps across different product lines, consider having both account types — Corporate for your flagship apps (brand visibility) and Individual for experimental or side projects.
What's the Same Across Both Types
Regardless of which account type you choose, both come with:
- Full access to App Store Connect and Xcode distribution
- 7-day guarantee after delivery
- 10+ GEO options
- OctoBrowser transfer or cookies handover
- 2FA via Telegram (14 days free, then $5/month)
- Dedicated Telegram support chat
- Escrow-protected transaction — pay only after verifying
Summary: Which One Should You Pick?
Choose Individual if you're a solo developer or small team and the developer name doesn't affect your business. Choose Corporate if you need your company name in the App Store or plan to grow a team under one account.
