The Most Expensive App People Actually Buy

What $400 Buys You, According to the Reviews

Across 107 reviews, the current leader sits at -0.35 sentiment, and that score isn't climbing back up. That leader is 27 Solitaire Games, priced at $400.00, which makes it the priciest app on this whole board. The complaints are the usual culprits: crashes, too many taps just to do something simple, login failures, people begging for the old version back, and gripes about card or number size. Not one of those complaints is about the price itself. They're about whether the thing even works once you've handed over your money.

Somebody is paying $400.00 for a card game and, if these reviews are any guide, can't log in half the time. Charging top dollar clearly isn't the same as delivering a top experience.

A Crown That Keeps Moving

SnapType Pro wore the crown until 27 Solitaire Games snatched it in October 2026, and the two are separated by a single cent, $400.00 versus $399.99. Basically a rounding error with a crown on. 27 Solitaire Games showed up in the top ten and has only managed to hold #1 for 8 of the last 108 tracked days. The lead itself has swapped hands 9 times over that whole window.

Within the top ten, apps shuffle around roughly 3 spots on average during that same stretch. When the whole board is balanced on a one-cent gap, nothing stays put for long.

The Rest of the List

Past the top two, prices fall off hard. Speak for Yourself and TouchChat HD- AAC w/ WordPower both land at $299.99, a full $100.00 below the leader. By the time you reach the bottom of the top 100, price has slid all the way down to $34.21. Stack that against the median across the top 100, and the leader's $400.00 works out to 6.7× that number, which says a lot about how disconnected the top of this board is from everything sitting in the middle. Future Moments is the only developer with more than one entry here, placing AudioMaster Pro: Mastering DAW, VideoMaster Pro: EQ For Videos, and AudioFix Pro: For Video Volume at $99.99 apiece, more a shared price point than any single breakout hit. Atheus, at $134.59, is the oddball that breaks the round-number habit running through the rest of the list.

So that's the picture: a one-cent scrap at the very top, a steep drop right behind it, and then a long, tidy tail of $99.99 apps filling out the rest. Right now, the $400.00 app sitting at #1 is winning on price alone, not on what the reviews actually say.
