Methodology

How every number is built

01

Read at the source

Each plan comes from the app's official Shopify App Store listing, or the vendor's own help center when the listing is silent. Every app page names its source and links to it.

02

Dated, then re-read

Every price carries the date it was read. Each listing is re-read automatically every day. When one changes, the change goes into the change log with the date and the source.

03

Cost at your volume

Plans charge on orders, contacts, subscribers or words. The calculator applies each vendor's published rule and shows the formula.

04

No guessing

When a vendor publishes only a starting price, we show “from” and flag it. A price we have not read is never shown as a number.

Independence

Affiliate commissions never change a price, a ranking or a verdict. Apps without an affiliate program are listed and compared the same way. See the affiliate disclosure.
