You'll pay for the amount of customers you have in your shopify not the amout of store credit accounts, so if you have 50k customers but only 5 with store credit you have to pay for all 50k

Joy Loyalty Program Rewards is cheaper to start with — it offers a free plan and FreshCredit ‑ Store Credit doesn't list one. Prices are as listed on the Shopify App Store; check what each tier includes in the Pricing section above.
Joy Loyalty Program Rewards has the higher average rating (4.9★ from 1,789 reviews) compared to FreshCredit ‑ Store Credit (4.0★ from 62 reviews). Both are tracked daily by AppRanks, so the figures here update each refresh cycle.
Joy Loyalty Program Rewards holds the higher average rating (4.9★ vs 4.0★). That is the one dimension AppRanks can separate them on here — read both apps' detail pages for the feature breakdown and recent listing changes.
Both apps are one-click installs from the Shopify App Store. AppRanks doesn't measure setup time directly; Joy Loyalty Program Rewards has more published reviews to read for user-reported install experience (1,789 vs 62).
AppRanks cannot say which fits a larger or smaller operation — there is no store-size measurement in the Shopify App Store data. What it can show: FreshCredit ‑ Store Credit has 62 published reviews; Joy Loyalty Program Rewards has 1,789 published reviews. Compare plan limits and pricing tiers against your own volume.
Migration support varies by app and category. FreshCredit ‑ Store Credit and Joy Loyalty Program Rewards 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 FreshCredit ‑ Store Credit" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
