Apple is divided into 3 main categories of developers: individuals, organizations (companies, enterprises), educational institutions. That

1, individual (individual)

2. Organization (organizations)

The organization class is divided into 2 small classes:

(1) Companies (company)

(2) Enterprise (Enterprise)

3. Educational institutions (educational institutions)

For more information, please see Apple's official description: Choosing a Membership

We are often most concerned about the 3 categories of individuals, companies, enterprises, companies and enterprises belong to the "organization" category, below the 3 do a simple comparison:

1, individual (individual):

(1) Cost: 99 USD a year

(2) App Store shelves: Yes

(3) Maximum UUID support number: 100

(4) Number of collaborators: 1 people (developers themselves)

Description: "Individual" developers can apply to upgrade the "Company" by dialing the Apple Customer Service Phone (400 6701 855) to consult and handle.

2, Companies (company):

(1) Cost: 99 USD a year

(2) App Store shelves: Yes

(3) Maximum UUID support number: 100

Description: The application needs to fill in the company's Bradstreet code (DUNS number).

3, Enterprise (Enterprise)

(1) Cost: 299 USD a year

(2) App store shelves: No

That is, the account development and application can not be published to the app Store, only enterprise internal applications.

(3) Maximum UUID support number: No Limit

(4) Number of collaborators: many people

Note: It should be noted that the application of enterprise account development can not be online app Store, suitable for those who do not want to publish the application of the enterprise. Similarly, the company's Bradstreet code (DUNS number) is required for the application.


There are only a few of these differences, the more differences between the accounts, please look at the following figure:
(Note: Pictures from the previous Apple website mentioned above: https://developer.apple.com/support/compare-memberships/)

First, Apple's development plan is divided into three categories, individual, business and university programs

With regard to the difference between Apple's developer account and personal developer account, Apple's official choice of membership-support-Apple developer is a page that divides developer membership into individuals, organizations, and educational institutions, and analyzes the differences between individuals, companies, and businesses from multiple aspects, as shown in the figure below.

If you feel that the description on the Apple developer website is not understood, can look at ASO100 's small partners to summarize the content of the Apple developer account, in this post for everyone to check ↓↓↓ Currently, Apple Developer account can be divided into three types: individuals, companies, enterprises, and the cost of the three and the rights are different.

1. Personal account
① Fee: USD 99/year
② Collaboration number: Developer only
③ does not need to fill in the company's Deng Bai code (d-u-n-s number)
App online app Store under ④ support account
⑤ need to create an Apple ID

2. Company account
① Fee: USD 99/year
② allows multiple developers to collaborate on development
③ need to fill in the company's Deng Bai code (d-u-n-s number)
④ the app on this account can be online to the app Store
⑤ need to create an Apple ID


3. Enterprise Account
① Fee: USD 299/year
② allows multiple developers to collaborate on development
③ need to fill in the company's Deng Bai code (d-u-n-s number)
④ app can't be posted to app Store
⑤ need to create an Apple ID

As can be seen from the above, the Company's developer account and the cost of the individual developer account, whether the need for Apple ID and app can upload to the App Store is consistent, relative to the personal developer account, the company's developer account number of collaboration, but need to provide more information , such as the Deng Bai code mentioned above.

In addition, the content required for registration is different, in general, the company's developer account (that is, to register as an organization) requires more content .


Specifically, when registering the information to fill in the page is also different .

Individual developer account information fill out the page simply fill out your personal information

And the information of the company developer account fill in the information that fill in the page is divided into two kinds : "authority to Sign Legal agreements" section has two options, if you are the company owner , you can choose the first item, Need to fill out company related information.


If you are the company's authorized person , you need to select the second item. The difference between the two is that selecting the second item requires not only the information of the company, but also the personal information of the authorized person.
