On pricing, Design Wizard offers a free tier (Free plan available) while Help Scout starts at From $50/mo. For early-stage stores or merchants validating fit, the free-tier path lets you run the app on real orders before committing budget.

The data tables below show the per-feature breakdown — for most merchants the deciding factor will be a single integration or workflow detail that's hard to compare from listing pages alone. This verdict is generated from the live marketplace data on this page — rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position all refresh from the canonical HubSpot App Marketplace listing every 24 hours. AppRanks does not accept payment to influence comparison outcomes; the methodology is documented on the About page and applies identically to every pair on the site.
