What would a Shopify gift app cost at 50, 500 and 1,000 orders a month?
Use total orders for Monk Commerce, online-store orders for Gift Box and app orders for Fokkio; the other apps need more inputs before you can price 50, 500 or 1,000 store orders.
An order count alone prices only some gift apps. Monk Commerce uses total store orders, Gift Box uses online-store orders, and Fokkio counts orders with the app. For the other vendors, you also need the number of gifts, live rules, discount orders, attributed revenue or the Shopify plan. The table shows monthly USD prices when the stated scenario identifies a listed tier.

What does each vendor document?
- Monk Commerce. The developer lists $49 for 0–1,000 total orders and $149 for 1,000+. The ranges overlap at exactly 1,000, so verify how the billing engine treats it. (Monk Free Gift BOGO & Upsell — Monk Commerce)
- BOGOS. The listing describes 30 app orders lifetime on Free and $0.05 per additional app order above paid plan allowances. Store order volume alone cannot identify the bill. (BOGOS: Free Gift Bundle Upsell — Shopify App Store)
- EasyGift. The listing uses rule count and features rather than store order volume. Free covers one rule with variant and gift limits. (EG Auto Add to Cart Free Gift — Shopify App Store)
- Kite. The free-to-install option lists a $29 monthly charge once the 50-discount-order allowance is exceeded, and excludes Advanced and Plus. Estimate qualifying discount orders first. (Kite Discount, Free Gift, BOGO — Shopify App Store)
- AppHero. Paid tiers list 50, 100 and 250 gifts per month. Estimate gift units from expected redemptions. Ask for terms above the highest listed allowance. (AppHero: Free Gifts BOGO Offer — Shopify App Store)
- AOV.ai. The listing gives two active campaigns and $500 in monthly app-attributed revenue on Free. The cost after an upgrade depends on the Shopify plan. (AOV.ai Free Gifts BOGO Offer — Shopify App Store)
- Gift Box. The listed ranges are 0–100, 101–500 and 501–1,000 online-store orders. Compare the price of that tier in your store’s billing currency. (Gift Box • Free Gift Purchase — Shopify App Store)
- Fokkio. The listing says Free allows up to 10 app orders, Basic up to 50 and Professional up to 500. Ask which store orders the app counts before selecting a tier. (Fokkio Free Gift With Purchase — Shopify App Store)
How should you read the table for your store?
Suppose a store expects 500 total orders, 350 online-store orders, 40 orders that the gift app counts, and two live rules. Use 500 for Monk Commerce, 350 for Gift Box and 40 for Fokkio. Two live rules exceed EasyGift’s Free allowance. If each qualifying order gets two gifts, AppHero’s meter would see 80 gifts. Check whether all the assumed orders actually count in your app.
What else changes the first-year cost?
- Promotions: a reduced first month, such as Monk Commerce’s Black Friday offer, lowers year-one cost only slightly.
- Annual billing: compare the listed monthly and annual terms at checkout.
- Feature upgrades: a plan that fits your volume may still lack a feature you need, forcing a higher tier.
- Peak months: order-metered apps can move up a band during sales.
Is the cheapest app the right choice?
Only if it documents your offer. A plan that cannot express your two-tier ladder can leave you maintaining a second promotion or a custom rule. Shortlist by capability first, using the guide to combining gift and upsell apps, and use this table to choose between finalists.

More research on pricing & plan limits
- How do Shopify free gift app pricing models compare?
Shopify gift apps use six different billing meters (store orders, app orders, gifts, live rules, app-attributed revenue or Shopify plan), so compare the meter that grows with your store, not the starting price.
- Which free gift app features are locked to higher plans?
Collection and tag triggers, audience targeting, progress bars, checkout gifts, headless APIs and A/B tests are the features most often reserved for higher gift-app plans; Monk Commerce states all features are on every plan.
