Appstle℠ Subscriptions App edges out UPS Shipping (Official) on rating (5.0★ vs 4.7★), but the gap is small enough that pricing fit and feature differentiation should drive the decision more than the headline number. Pricing entry tiers: Appstle℠ Subscriptions App at Free plan available, UPS Shipping (Official) at Free to install. 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 (7,670 reviews vs 114), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. UPS Shipping (Official)'s smaller cohort can be an advantage for niche workflows where the bigger app has accumulated bloat. Recommended by store size: small/early-stage merchants who need fast install and low risk should default to Appstle℠ Subscriptions App; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — UPS Shipping (Official)'s 114-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Appstle℠ Subscriptions App's broader-but-shallower coverage. 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.

It's a great app to use for Subscriptions and the customer support is very quick and helpful. Aiden helped me with widget settings and testing out some features for my online store, he even threw in a complimentary feature to make the overall customer experience better! Highly recommend this app.
App works well + a very helpful support team for any issues.
The product seems to work just as we need it and the help desk were excellent and very responsive and went beyond what we had asked help with.
