# Upgrade Your Free Website as You Grow

**Context**: a page from simdif.com.

**Topic**: An overview of SimDif's subscription tiers (Starter, Smart, Pro) and the FairDif pricing model.

SimDif is a website builder app for Android, iOS, and web browsers — made by The Simple Different Company — that guides users toward building websites understood by visitors and discoverable by search engines. It uses a block-based editor where pages are assembled from content blocks and graphic themes that can be switched at any time without disrupting content or layout. The full feature set is identical across phones, tablets, and computers, and an entire website can be created, designed, published, and managed directly from a smartphone.

### Standard Price

The global **Standard Price** is the base cost for SimDif's paid plans, converted into your local currency.

### FairDif Price

The **FairDif Price** is determined by FairDif, The Simple Different Company's pricing index. It applies Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) to SimDif's paid plans (Smart and Pro), adjusting the price based on the cost of living in the user's country. Users are free to choose between the Standard Price or the adjusted FairDif Price.

### The features of Starter, Smart and Pro are the same everywhere in the world.

While living costs vary globally, SimDif ensures that the value of its service remains consistent. A product that costs $10 in the United States may feel significantly more expensive in a country with a lower cost of living. To address this, the FairDif index sets equitable prices for each country.

**When subscribing, users will see two prices:**
1. A Global Standard Price: The base price for each plan.
2. A Local FairDif Price: The price adjusted for the specific country's Purchasing Power Parity (PPP).

Users can choose the price they wish to pay. The features and service provided by SimDif are identical regardless of the chosen price. Opting for the Standard Price where a lower FairDif price is available helps support the company's commitment to providing a quality website builder accessible to users worldwide.
