great support, works really well for my subscription products
Switched from Seal to Appstle and the whole migration was smooth from start to finish. The support team was incredibly helpful and thorough. They walked me through every step, explained exactly what needed to change before migrating, and moved all my subscribers over without any issues. The app itself is clean and easy
Appstle℠ Subscriptions App is cheaper to start with — it offers a free plan and Market Gate doesn't list one. Prices are as listed on the Shopify App Store; check what each tier includes in the Pricing section above.
AppRanks cannot separate these two on rating, because neither publishes one. Appstle℠ Subscriptions App does carry the larger published review base (9,221 vs 0). 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; Appstle℠ Subscriptions App has more published reviews to read for user-reported install experience (9,221 vs 0).
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: Market Gate has 0 published reviews; Appstle℠ Subscriptions App has 9,221 published reviews. Compare plan limits and pricing tiers against your own volume.
Migration support varies by app and category. Market Gate and Appstle℠ Subscriptions App 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 Market Gate" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
The migration was awesome and much cheaper than some other "Subscription" companies that promise the moon and don't deliver. I highly recommend Appstle.
