Appstle℠ Subscriptions App and Workflow Functions 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, Workflow Functions 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 (seats, usage volume, integrations) varies.
Appstle℠ Subscriptions App has the larger user base (8,631 reviews vs 1), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Workflow Functions'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 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.

Appstle℠ Subscriptions App typically suits established teams with steady usage based on its published review base (8,631 reviews). Workflow Functions typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (1 reviews).

Migration support varies by app and category. Appstle℠ Subscriptions App and Workflow Functions 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 Workflow Functions" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
