I don't know why people are saying Apple and Google set the price. I can't speak for how Apple does their pricing, but I have an app in Google Play. Google gives the developer complete control over the pricing of their app. The developer can set individual prices for each country and the developer is responsible for setting sales tax rates. Google takes a 30% cut, which is the same that Apple takes.

Actually iTunes and Google play prices are the same. I'm looking at them both side by side right now. There is a difference though. Google play does not add tax onto the purchase. So a 19.99 purchase through iTunes is 21.38ish and through google play is 19.99. Better to buy through google play.

iOS developers choose pricing tiers. Apple then sets the price for each tier in each market.
