Shadowrocket is a paid Apple-platform app purchased once through the App Store. The current price is shown on the product page and payment confirmation screen for your account’s storefront. This guide is for first-time buyers, people setting up the app on a new device, and anyone separating the app cost from fees for a service they already use. Confirm the app’s identity, check what you’re paying for, then review your purchase history and configuration before deciding whether another purchase is needed.
1. Shadowrocket price: Check your current App Store storefront
There is no single price that applies to every region. App Store pricing depends on the storefront associated with your account, the displayed currency, and current sales terms. Another user’s payment screenshot is no substitute for the product page you see. To check the price, first confirm that you have the correct app open, then read the amount on its purchase button. Before paying, verify the currency and amount on the system confirmation screen.
Shadowrocket is available exclusively through the App Store. It is primarily used on iPhone and iPad; compatibility, system requirements, and purchase eligibility for Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Vision are as listed on the App Store page. Signing in to the same account on another device does not guarantee identical features or purchase eligibility across devices.
- Open the product page from our App Store verification page, then confirm the name Shadowrocket, the official icon, and app ID
932747118. - Confirm the developer is Shadow Launch Technology Limited; don’t rely on similar-looking names in search results alone.
- Check the amount and currency on the purchase button. If you see a re-download icon or an Open button, first check whether this account already owns the app.
- Read the compatibility and purchase details, then use the system payment confirmation screen as the final check before approving the purchase.
2. What a one-time purchase covers: the app, not a service subscription
A one-time purchase describes how the app itself is sold, not how a service is billed. Buying Shadowrocket gives you access to the app. For any service you already use, check its own terms for server details, authentication, validity period, data allowance, and device limits. An app purchase record does not show that a service is still active.
Likewise, having an active subscription does not mean you have purchased Shadowrocket. These are separate transactions: the App Store records the app purchase, while the account for a service you already use records its service benefits. If you’re unsure about a charge, check the recipient and transaction description rather than treating every network-related payment as the same fee.
How to check charges: verify each purchase separately
App purchase
- Item: Shadowrocket in the App Store.
- Records: Apple purchase history and receipt.
- Check: app identity, payment account, amount, and purchase status.
- Re-download: first check the original purchasing account and its store history.
Service you already use
- Item: service benefits held by the user.
- Records: the service’s own account and order history.
- Check: validity period, allowance, authentication details, and usage limits.
- Connection issues: distinguish service status from local configuration problems.
An app purchase is not a service subscription. This site does not provide, sell, or recommend servers or subscriptions.
“One-time purchase” should not be taken as an unlimited promise covering every future feature, every device, or an unlimited service period. Purchase eligibility is as stated on the App Store page. For order, refund, or account-benefit questions, refer to the actual transaction records rather than relying on a general summary in an article.
3. Where to check the price and the “In-App Purchases” section
The app price on the product page, any listed in-app purchases, and subscriptions in your Apple Account each show different payment details. The ability to import a Subscribe link does not mean Apple will bill you monthly, and a single button does not replace a review of the full payment details.
| Where to look | What to check | What you can’t conclude from it |
|---|---|---|
| App Store product page purchase button | Current price, currency, or re-download status | The price or remaining validity of a service you already use |
| “In-App Purchases” section on the product page | If listed, check each item’s name and price | That recurring charges apply just because the section exists |
| System payment confirmation screen | The item being purchased, amount, and confirmation details | The price another account paid in the past |
| Apple Account purchase history and subscriptions | Actual orders and whether a corresponding subscription is active | The status of a service accessed through an in-app Subscribe link |
On iPhone or iPad, check actual orders under Settings → Apple Account → Media & Purchases → View Account → Purchase History. To review recurring items billed by Apple, go to Settings → Apple Account → Subscriptions. Labels may vary slightly with your system language and interface; use the account options shown on your device.
If the product page doesn’t show a section, don’t assume any item or price. To determine whether you have a recurring charge, check the specific item and transaction in your account. An in-app “subscription link” is not the same as a paid subscription billed through your Apple Account. The link is typically used to retrieve configuration details; the two are separate.
4. On a new device or when re-downloading: check your account before paying again
If you’ve purchased the app before but see a price on a new device, first check which Apple Account is used for Media & Purchases. Account details used for other services on the device don’t confirm that the App Store is signed in with the original purchasing account. Find the original order and confirm the app’s identity before considering another payment.
- Find the original transaction. Search for Shadowrocket in your purchase history, confirm which account the order belongs to, and check its status.
- Check the current store account. Go to Settings → Apple Account → Media & Purchases and confirm which account is used for App Store purchases.
- Confirm it’s the same product. Check the developer and app ID again to rule out a similarly named app.
- Look for the re-download option. Find the original app in the App Store’s purchased apps list. The exact label and location depend on the device’s current interface.
- Keep your records if something still looks wrong. Note the system message and order details, then contact Apple through its order support channel. Don’t repeatedly approve a payment prompt you can’t verify.
When moving between iPhone and iPad, handle re-downloading the app separately from migrating its configuration. Purchase history can confirm your app entitlement, but it does not mean the new device has the old device’s configuration, authentication details, or connection status. Purchase eligibility is as listed on the App Store page; check separately in the app whether your configuration has transferred.
5. Purchased but can’t connect? Check configuration, not the purchase
If the app opens but webpages won’t load, that alone doesn’t mean your app purchase is invalid. If you already have a service and its details, first check the selected connection in Home, then review the current configuration in Config. Finally, check whether the Global Routing setting suits what you’re trying to troubleshoot. Purchase history does not fill in server addresses, ports, authentication details, or rules.
The comparisons below cover only Shadowrocket’s own Global Routing settings. Config is recommended only when the configuration comes from a trusted source and its rules have been reviewed. “Recommended” does not mean every configuration will work as-is. Global Routing may also use Scene; check your existing scene settings to determine whether that applies. This is not the same as purchasing another service.
Config
ConfigRoute traffic according to the rules and policies in the current configuration. Rules such as DOMAIN-SUFFIX and IP-CIDR may determine how a connection is handled; if no earlier rule matches, check FINAL. Don’t assume that all other traffic will go direct.
Best for: everyday rule-based routing with a configuration you’ve already checked.
Proxy
Route traffic through the proxy as a comparison with the result under Config. If the same destination works with Proxy but not with Config, check the rules and policies rather than assuming the app purchase is the cause.
Best for: temporarily narrowing down a rule issue using a connection you already have and know works.
Direct
Route traffic directly as a comparison with the current local network. This does not activate a service or change the app purchase history or billing terms for a service you already use.
Best for: checking how a destination behaves when accessed directly on the current network.
Takeaway: if changing the routing mode changes the result, check the rules first
Keep the same network, destination, and connection entry, then compare Config with Proxy. If the results differ, return to Config and check the matching rule and its policy. This alone is not evidence that you need to buy the app again.
If the connection entry itself seems wrong, check the address, port, protocol, and authentication details in your existing service information. Don’t assume 443 is the port for every connection, or that matching protocol names mean other fields are interchangeable. A successful Subscribe update only confirms that configuration details were retrieved; it doesn’t prove the service is still within its allowance, authentication is valid, or the current network can reach it.
6. Common questions before and after purchase
After the one-time purchase, do I pay the app fee every month?
Shadowrocket is sold as a one-time app purchase. Renewal fees for a service you already use are not a monthly app fee. If you see a recurring charge, check the subscriptions and receipts in your Apple Account, including the item name and recipient, to identify the transaction.
Does adding a Subscribe link in the app automatically create a paid Apple subscription?
Adding a Subscribe link imports or updates configuration details; it is not the same as a paid subscription recorded in your Apple Account. It does not replace purchasing the app, nor does a successful import confirm how long an external service remains valid. Check the service’s own account records for billing and benefits.
I’ve paid. Why is there no usable connection in Home?
The app purchase does not include a preconfigured connection. Import or add configuration details you already have, then check the selected connection, Global Routing, and Config. This site does not provide connection resources, and the purchase confirmation screen does not contain service addresses or authentication details.
On a new device, should I look for an in-app restore button first?
Start by checking your paid-app purchase history and the re-download process; don’t assume the app has a button called Restore Purchases. Check the current account, original order, product identity, and device compatibility first. Purchase eligibility is as listed on the App Store page.
Before buying, confirm what the product is, how much it costs, and which devices it applies to. After buying, keep app access, configuration details, and service benefits separate. Checking these three things individually will show whether to review an App Store order, inspect the app’s settings, or check the status of a service you already use.
