In-app items
Everything you can buy, and why it is there
Apex City is a paid game with 21 optional purchases. This page is generated from the same catalogue the in-game store reads, so it lists exactly what is on sale today, at the list price, with what each item is for.
No loot boxes
Every purchase says exactly what you get. Nothing is random and nothing is hidden behind a spin.
No pay-to-win
Purchases buy time, land, looks and convenience. Leaderboards reward cooperation, and nothing sold here lets you beat another mayor.
Restores everywhere
What you own is tied to your account and restores on iPhone, iPad and Android. Purchases go through the App Store or Google Play.
No ads, ever
The game ships no advertising SDK on any platform, so nothing here is a way to make ads go away.
Gems
Gems are the premium currency. They finish a timer now instead of later, and buy cosmetics. Nothing they buy is out of reach without them: free players earn around 25 gems a day from login streaks, achievements and daily quests.
100 Gems
A pile of 100 gems.
550 Gems
A pile of 550 gems (+10%).
1,200 Gems
A pile of 1,200 gems (+20%).
2,500 Gems
A pile of 2,500 gems (+25%).
6,500 Gems
A pile of 6,500 gems (+30%).
Coins
Coins are what your city earns by itself, from taxes, contracts and cargo. A top-up is for building the next district today rather than tomorrow; it never buys anything coins earned by playing cannot.
20,000 Coins
A treasury top-up of 20,000 coins.
120,000 Coins
A treasury top-up of 120,000 coins.
VIP membership
For mayors who play every day: more coin income, extra build queues, a monthly gem allowance and every expansion included. Cancel at any time in the store you subscribed through; nothing you built goes away.
VIP Monthly
+20% coin income, 2 extra build queues, 150 gems every month, no ads, and every expansion included.
Season Pass
Every season has a free reward track for everyone. The pass adds the premium track, so the same play earns more rewards. It lasts for its season.
Season Pass: Harbour Lights
Premium track of the Season 1 pass: 50 tiers of buildings, vehicles and gems.
Season Pass Plus: Harbour Lights
The premium track plus 10 tiers unlocked immediately and the Harbour Master skin.
Land expansions

Waterfront
8 waterside plots of land (river or sea in each), free and with no level needed, and 300 gems.
