Stuck with a few cents of store credit you can't get rid of? Apple won't let you change your App Store country while any balance remains. And leftover odd amounts are nearly impossible to spend down to exactly zero, because nothing costs that. Zeroed does the math. Tell it your balance and whether you have a working card on file. It reads the real prices in your own currency, then shows you the exact plan to reach zero: โ€ข With a card โ€” buy one small item priced just above your balance. Your credit pays first, the few cents of overage go to your card, and you land on exactly zero. โ€ข Without a card โ€” Zeroed finds an exact combination of items that sums to your balance, never more than four purchases. โ€ข When zero is impossible โ€” it spends you down as far as it can, then writes the message to send Apple Support asking them to remove the last bit. WHAT WE WON'T DO If your balance is more than a few dollars, Zeroed refuses to take it. You'll get a screen telling you to spend it on things you'd actually enjoy, and to come back only if you're left with odd cents that won't clear. We'd rather lose the sale than waste your money. NO ACCOUNT, NO TRACKING Zeroed cannot see your balance โ€” no app can. You type it in, and it stays on your device. No sign-in, no analytics, no data collected at all. HONEST ABOUT THE MONEY Store credit is spent, never refunded. When you buy an item here, that money goes to us, and you get a real keepsake card that's yours to keep. You could do all of this yourself for free โ€” we do the arithmetic and write the wording so you don't have to. BEFORE YOU SWITCH Clearing your balance is the hard part, but it isn't the only one. Zeroed finishes with a short checklist so nothing else blocks the move: subscriptions, pending purchases, Family Sharing, and a payment method for the new country.

About

Zero Balance

Your Apple Account balance can't be withdrawn, and App Store prices come in fixed steps โ€” so an odd amount like 3.47 just sits there. And while even one cent is left, Apple won't let you move your account to another country or region. ZeroBalance spends that balance exactly โ€” down to the cent. HOW IT WORKS 1. Type in your balance โ€” it's shown in the App Store under your name. 2. The app picks App Store purchases that add up to it exactly. 3. Confirm each payment in Apple's own window. Balance 0.00 โ€” you're free to change your country. NO EXACT MATCH? Some small amounts can't be hit exactly. The app tells you honestly and shows the options: spend the maximum and send Apple Support a ready-made message about the few cents left, add a few cents from your card, or top up with a gift card. A ZERO FOR EVERY PURCHASE Each purchase brings a collectible character โ€” a Zero. There are 21, one for every price: from the copper Calculator to the obsidian Throne. WHAT WE DON'T DO โ€ข We never ask for your Apple Account password โ€ข We never see your card โ€” Apple takes the payment โ€ข No subscriptions, no auto-renewals In-app purchases are ordinary App Store purchases for amounts you see in advance.
