Apple Developer Account Registration

Cost 

$99 per year. 

Types of Accounts 

Individual Account

Pros: 

• Simple and quick registration.

Cons: 

• Displays the full name of the individual as the publisher of the application.
• Does not allow adding other users to the account. To grant access to a developer, you need to share your Apple ID login and password with them and provide SMS codes during login.
• There may be issues with funds withdrawal if the app uses in-app purchases.

When choosing this type of account, it’s better to register a separate Apple ID for it rather than using your personal one.

Organization Account

Pros:

• The unlimited number of users and developers that can be added to the account.
• Simple funds withdrawal system if the app has in-app purchases. 

Cons: 

• Requires a DUNS number for registration, which is an international identifier for legal entities. It may take several days or longer to acquire.

Verification time (free registration): up to 30 business days.

For $229, the term can be shortened to 5 working days.

After receiving a positive response, the number will appear in the Apple system within two weeks.
