テクニカル諏訪子 Nintendo has revealed Switch Online pricings in 4 key regions + New Zealand (UK shows euro prices, lel).

The American prices are the only ones that do not include taxes, and since they have different tax rates in each State for some reason, let's assume New York City tax rates here.

And since the Japanese prices are by far the cheapest, I'll compare all prices to the Japanese prices.

Japan
300 JPY for 1 month.
800 JPY for 3 months.
2400 JPY for 12 months.

USA
3.99 USD + 7% = 4.27 for 1 month (484 JPY = 184 yen more expensive).
7.99 USD + 7% = 8.55 for 3 months (968 JPY = 168 yen more expensive).
19.99 USD + 7% = 21.39 for 12 months (2422 JPY = 22 yen more expensive).

New Zealand (not shown on the screenshot, sorry about that!)
6.55 NZD for 1 month (508 JPY = 208 yen more expensive).
13.15 NZD for 3 months (1020 JPY = 220 yen more expensive).
32.95 NZD for 12 months (2556 JPY = 156 yen more expensive).

Australia
5.95 AUD for 1 month (512 JPY = 212 yen more expensive).
11.95 AUD for 3 months (1027 JPY = 227 yen more expensive).
29.95 AUD for 12 months (2575 JPY = 175 yen more expensive).

Europe
3.99 EUR for 1 month (532 JPY = 232 yen more expensive).
7.99 EUR for 3 months (1064 JPY = 264 yen more expensive).
19.99 EUR for 12 months (2663 JPY = 263 yen more expensive).

South Korea
Service doesn't exist yet.

All with all, 200+ yen difference isn't really much, but the longer you use a given service, the more it adds up.
