Pricing entry tiers: Typewriter animation at Free plan available, Typewriter Effect at Free. 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. Recommended by store size: small/early-stage merchants who need fast install and low risk should default to Typewriter animation; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Typewriter Effect's 5-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Typewriter animation's broader-but-shallower coverage.
