Welcome to the ultimate guide of GeoGuessr subscriptions
Read ISP Notes section carefully below before signing up!
Hey guys, I'm back! I got a bit bored at work so I decided to play some games. Remembered GeoGuessr exists and I've always loved that game so decided to play it during work. Now they charge you to play the game, so I decided to bite the bullet and upgrade to a subscription. Looked at the annual gift subscription which ended up costed way more than the local price itself. Flicked on my Turkey VPN and sure enough it got cheaper. But surely we can go cheaper right? 😉 Low and behold, I present you the wonderful country of India. Sign up takes roughtly 2 minutes max. Easiest sign up I've ever seen on any subscription platform. For just pennies over $1 a month, this is a must have game!
Show some love if you find this guide helpful. Any comments, concerns, suggestions or feedback are welcome. I'd also like to thank everyone who have supported me over the years. I really hope you all have saved heaps of money. Sadly BuyMeACoffee has taken down my page, so I'm no longer able to accept anymore donations from all you kind people. As many of you may know, I’ve now discovered employment and with several side hustles, I have not been as active as I used to be on OzBargain due to time constraints. Sorry if I am yet to reply to your messages - this is the reason why.
Some description of the game (thanks to @neil):
GeoGuessr is an online game where you have to guess the location in the world just by looking at Google Streetview images. You used to be able to play for free for the most part but given it's become very popular now and Google charges them $$ for using their Streetview API,
you are now limited to 5 minutes of free play every 15 minutes(from Feb 2024, the game is no longer free and this ‘5 mins play every 15 mins’ feature is now part of the Pro Basic subscription). If you sign up for their Pro Unlimited or Elite plan you can get unlimited play, no ads and some other features.You can have a look at Geowizard's Youtube for some idea of playing GeoGuessr as a good player but non-expert. He also does some non-Geoguessr stuff like real life straight-line travel missions which are entertaining.

I used Suncorp debit for payment, but I assume all payment methods will work.
Do not get the Pro Basic plan. Seems useless to me. Get the Pro Unlimited plan.
Surfshark VPN confirmed working for India VPN server.

A: No! VPN is only required for sign-up purposes.
Q: I got charged a different rate compared to the prices on this post. What happened?
