01 / THE SUBSCRIPTION PROBLEM

Your Shopify stack gets more expensive as you grow.

A cart here. A helpdesk there. A few automations. Before long, you’re paying thousands for software — and using a fraction of what’s inside.

Using 6 features from a 75-feature app?
We build the 6 you actually use.

02 / A DIFFERENT APPROACH

Build what you
actually use.

Keep the functionality that matters. Cut the platform overhead. Get software built around the way your store works.

Own it.
Don’t rent it.
  1. We inspect your current app

    What it costs, how it works and where it fits in your store.

  2. Find the features you really use

    Separate business essentials from the extras you’re paying for.

  3. Build those features for your store

    A focused Shopify solution, tested before you switch.

  4. You own the finished solution

    On final payment, you own the custom code developed specifically for your project.

No equivalent cart app fee.

We aim to only recommend replacement projects where the build cost is roughly four months or less of the app cost being replaced. This example assumes the old subscription ends without overlap. Delivery timing, tax, hosting, email and other infrastructure costs can affect the actual payback. Optional support is separate.

06 / AN HONEST ANSWER

Not every app needs replacing.

If keeping your app makes more sense, we’ll tell you.

Worth a closer look

  • Your app costs $200+ per month
  • You only use part of the feature set
  • The functionality matters to your business
  • You expect to use it for years
  • Your app price rises with order volume
  • Your app adds storefront weight or complexity

Probably better to keep it

  • Your app costs $20 per month
  • The underlying product is extremely complex
  • You use almost every feature
  • Your requirements change constantly
  • A third-party ecosystem is central to the app
  • A replacement would take years to pay back
