Pricing entry tiers: CTS Multi Barcode Labels at Free trial available, Appstle℠ Subscriptions App at Free plan available.

Appstle℠ Subscriptions App has the larger user base (8,643 reviews vs 94), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns.

Recommended evaluation path: install both apps' free tiers (where available) and run them in parallel on a small cohort 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.

Excellent app with truly outstanding customer support. Aaron went above and beyond to help me create my first subscription plan, update the branding in my customer emails, and integrate the customer portal into my Shopify account page. He carefully reviewed my setup, noticed important details I had missed, and personal
Great customer service

Appstles Subscriptions works flawlessly with Shopify Checkout. Easy setup, clean dashboard, and reliable performance. Tracking subscribers and revenue is a breeze. Support team is responsive and helpful. If you need a no-fuss subscription solution, this app gets the job done. Highly recommended.
Migration support varies by app and category. CTS Multi Barcode Labels 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.

AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
