I'm only in my early days with Appstle, but I'm loving it so far. The support from the team is INCREDIBLE - instant, helpful responses and there's never been anything they haven't been able to support with. Thank you :)
Great team - helped me set everything up when I was a bit overwhelmed with doing technical setups. Very attentive and got me going literally instantly from the moment I started chatting!
Mature product, Supportive CS
Customer service is always great, quick to respond and always with solution
Appstle℠ Subscriptions App is cheaper to start with — it offers a free plan and Express Checkout doesn't list one. Prices are as listed on the Shopify App Store; check what each tier includes in the Pricing section above.
Appstle℠ Subscriptions App has the higher average rating (5.0★ from 9,245 reviews) compared to Express Checkout (3.2★ from 9 reviews). Both are tracked daily by AppRanks, so the figures here update each refresh cycle.
Appstle℠ Subscriptions App holds the higher average rating (5.0★ vs 3.2★). 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; Appstle℠ Subscriptions App has more published reviews to read for user-reported install experience (9,245 vs 9).
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: Express Checkout has 9 published reviews; Appstle℠ Subscriptions App has 9,245 published reviews. Compare plan limits and pricing tiers against your own volume.
Migration support varies by app and category. Express Checkout 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 Express Checkout" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
