Can anyone explain why there are 3 different prices for membership?

Take the Gold membership for example 

On the android app, for Gold it is either 4.79 a month (£57.48 YEAR) or to pay for a year it is 29.99

However if I go on the website not the app, the price is 24.99 for the year and 2,79 a month

Yes, someone else already noticed the discrepancy and supposedly reported it to support.

The app stores take a cut, so they are higher than the website.

I can understand that which is fair, but the almost doubling of the price for pay monthly seems a bit excessive.  Needles to say I shall buy the year membership on the chess.com website

The prices at Apple are the same as on the website. While Apple is also taking a big take on the sells.

Maybe Google takes a bigger cut? Though from what I came see, at least on US prices, the app and browser prices are essentially the same. $5 on the website 4.99 on the app.
