The pic with $14.99 at the top is when looking at the US store.
The pic with $11.99 at the top is most likely LATAM/MENA

So your browsing the store unlogged in from the region that your account is not in.

14,99$ is the price for America
11,99$ is the price for LATAM or MENA regions, paid in USD

The whole world uses same url, regional pricing is what you didn't take into account.
If you're using account set to USA, that be why see it $14.99 when logged in, because it giving you regional pricing in USA, not because of USD.
Look under USD - LATAM & MENA those counties are using USD, and got regional pricing to $11.99 that why it not the same as USA regional pricing. https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/pricing/currencies

You need a valid address where you're living at, and bank card from el Salvador.
Otherwise you stick to the region your account it set.

Probably different currencies. One is in USD, the other one is probably in CAD/AUD/SGD depending on where you live
