What Does Each Loyalty App Cost at Your Order Volume?
Because every app charges by orders, the cheapest app at 200 orders isn’t the cheapest at 2,500. This is the cheapest plan that fits each volume, including the extra-order charges listed on each app’s plan cards. It doesn’t mean every plan has the same features.
| App | 200 orders/mo | 500 orders/mo | 1,000 orders/mo | 2,500 orders/mo |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Appstle | $0 | $10 | $30 | $100 |
| BLOY | $0 | $10 | $49 | $129 |
| Flits | $0 | $15 | $49 | $199 |

How Do You Choose a Shopify Loyalty App?
- Check last month’s orders in Shopify Analytics and use the cost table above, allowing for busy months like Black Friday.
- Decide if you need VIP tiers now. They’re the biggest price jump in most apps.
- Decide on the reward type. Store credit feels like money to customers and works online and in POS, while discount codes are simpler. See store credit as loyalty rewards.
- Check your customer accounts. Many loyalty features now appear inside Shopify’s newer customer accounts. See legacy vs new customer accounts.
- Check POS if you sell in person, and your email tool, such as Klaviyo.
- Test during the free trial on a duplicate theme, on mobile.
