Comparing Live Spot Rates vs In-App Prices
In-app gold prices include spreads and hedging buffers, causing small deviations from international live spot benchmarks.
App prices incorporate India’s 5% import duty, currency conversion costs, vaulting logistics, and platform commissions. Consequently, they usually appear 2–3% higher than international spot rates reported in financial news. This difference reflects real landed cost structures rather than overpricing. Comparing app quotes directly with global dollar benchmarks without adjusting for duties and currency can create misleading perceptions about price discrepancies.
