Pricing entry tiers: Affiliate Marketing ReferrLy at Free plan available, Appstle℠ Bundles & Upsells at Free plan available. Check each app's tier structure for the capacity limits you actually need before deciding — the headline number is the same shape, but the gating shape per tier (apps, orders, integrations) varies. Recommended evaluation path: install both apps' free tiers (where available) and run them in parallel on a small cohort of orders for 7-14 days before committing. 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 Shopify App Store 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.

Expérience plus que satisfaisante ! Je n'ai pas testé l'application pour le côté des bundles mais pour le côté des réductions. Pour cette partie, tout est bien expliqué et intuitif. En cas de problèmes ou de questions l'équipe répond présente pour nous aider et ils sont d'une réactivité à toute épreuve.
I want to talk about the great service the Support Team gave me today. Today, I received a subscription sale at my old price and realized I needed to update the product prices in my Appstle Subscription account. Not having any idea how to do this, I googled some instructions which honestly made no sense to me. So then,
Very responsive and helpful team
Super responsive, helpful and patient service. Special shoutout to Taylor, who was amazing to work with.
Migration support varies by app and category. Affiliate Marketing ReferrLy and Appstle℠ Bundles & Upsells both publish their export options on their marketplace listing pages (or in their support docs); some apps offer one-click import from competitors, others require CSV. The fastest check: search "import from Appstle℠ Bundles & Upsells" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
