Pricing
Every plan includes the full ranking engine, every merchandising rule, preview and rollback. What changes between them is how many collections you can manage and how often they re-sort.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free Ten collections, sorted daily, free forever. | Free | 10 | Daily | — |

| Growth Adds experiments and per-market merchandising. | $49/mo | 250 | Hourly | Included |

Loyalty — $30 a month
An add-on rather than a plan tier, and priced on its own meter, so it sits on top of whichever plan you are already on — including the free one. Turning it on or off never touches the plan your collections depend on.
Points, VIP tiers and member pricing that shows up on your live theme.
- Points on every order, with tier multipliers
- VIP tiers with automatic member discounts
- Member prices rendered on product, collection and cart pages
- Tier discount enforced at checkout by a Shopify Function — no code to enter
- Rewards catalogue, redeemed for single-use discount codes
- Referrals, birthdays, signup bonuses and points expiry
- 600 orders a month included
600 orders a month are included. Past that, points pause until the period resets — nothing is billed you did not agree to. If you would rather keep earning, switch on extra orders at $0.05 each and the app tells you what you are running up before it charges it.
For comparison at the time of writing: BON Loyalty is $29/month for 500 orders and puts VIP tiers on a $129 plan; Appstle Loyalty is $30/month for 2,000 orders with tiers included. The thing neither of them does at this price is change the prices a shopper sees while they browse — a Gold member here sees Gold prices on your product pages, in your collection grids and in the cart, and pays them at checkout without entering a code, because the discount is applied by a Shopify Function rather than by a coupon.
How billing works
- Charges run through Shopify's billing system and appear on your normal Shopify invoice. The app never sees a payment card.
- The Free plan is free for as long as you want it, so you can see the sort quality on your own catalogue before paying anything.
- Changing plans takes effect immediately. Cancelling credits the unused part of the current period back to you.
- The Loyalty add-on is billed as usage against whichever plan you are on, so it appears as its own line on the same invoice and can be switched off without changing your plan.
- Uninstalling the app cancels the subscription automatically — there is nothing else to cancel.
What happens if I downgrade?
Nothing is deleted. If the new plan covers fewer collections than you are managing, the most recently added ones stop being managed and keep the order they were last sorted into — the app tells you exactly which, in the admin, before and after the change. Collections on a cadence faster than the new plan includes move to the fastest one it does include.
