Appstle℠ Subscriptions App and Ultimate Before/After Widget are evenly matched on rating (5.0★ vs 5.0★) — the differentiator comes down to pricing fit, feature breadth, and which app's interaction pattern suits your team's workflow. Pricing entry tiers: Appstle℠ Subscriptions App at Free plan available, Ultimate Before/After Widget at Free trial 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. Appstle℠ Subscriptions App has the larger user base (7,661 reviews vs 2), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Ultimate Before/After Widget's smaller cohort can be an advantage for niche workflows where the bigger app has accumulated bloat. 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.

Amazing customer service - they helped me completely localize the subscription widget into Traditional Chinese. Super fast, kind, and responsive. Good app.
Great customer support! Kate was very helpful
Great service!!!
The support has been great, but I'm having an issue with my subscription plans. The issue may be with Shopify but I'm still working it out.

Migration support varies by app and category. Appstle℠ Subscriptions App and Ultimate Before/After Widget 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.
