Shopney vs MobiCart: What Shopney Costs in 2026

Shopney vs MobiCart comes down to one number: Shopney's cheapest plan is $149 a month and MobiCart is $49 flat, with no tier above it. The more useful question is which rung of Shopney's ladder your must-have feature actually sits on, because for a lot of merchants it is not the first one.

We make MobiCart. We sell against Shopney, so we are not a neutral party, and you should not take our word for any figure below. Every price, rating and quote on this page is linked to the page we took it from. Open them.

All prices, plans, ratings and review counts here were checked on 1 August 2026.

One thing before the comparison, because it sets the tone for everything else: Shopney is good, and the usual competitor-page moves do not work on them. Their prices are consistent across their own site and their Shopify listing. Their review record is close to spotless. They do not take a commission. If you were expecting a teardown, this is not one.

What the other Shopney comparisons leave out

Most pages in this category get prices wrong. On Shopney, they mostly do not.

AppBrew's best Shopify mobile app builders roundup prints Shopney at $149, $299 and $599 — correct, though it stops before the $1,299 Enterprise tier. On the same page it prices Tapcart at $200, $400 and $1,000 when Tapcart's listing says $250, $500 and $1,000, and prices Vajro at $149 to $999 when the current listing says $150 and $1,000. MobiLoud's builder roundup gets Shopney right too, down to the Enterprise tier and the absence of a revenue fee.

That is worth noticing on its own. When third-party pages agree on a vendor's prices, it usually means the vendor has not moved them in a while.

The gap is elsewhere. Superfans publishes a Vajro vs Shopney page that names no dollar figure for Shopney and none for itself either. And nobody publishes the thing that actually decides a purchase here, which is not what Shopney costs but what each specific feature costs. Abandoned cart notifications are not on the $149 plan. Neither is a bottom navigation bar. Knowing that before you start a trial is worth more than knowing the entry price.

What Shopney costs in 2026

Here is the ladder as published on the Shopify App Store listing.

Plan	Monthly	Billed yearly	What the listing shows against it
Silver	$149	$119/mo	Unlimited push notifications, back in stock notifications, theme options for listing and product pages, in-app chat and Shopify Inbox, Google Analytics and Meta ads
Gold	$299	$239/mo	Bottom bar navigation, abandoned cart notification, product review integrations, multi-language and multi-currency, search and filter integrations
Platinum	$599	$499/mo	Multiple showcases, segmented and AI push notifications, augmented reality, barcode scan, live selling, loyalty and subscription integrations, Klaviyo, Rebuy and Nosto
Enterprise	$1,299	$999/mo	Scheduled showcases, multi-store support, AppsFlyer and Adjust, professional design support, dedicated success manager

All four come with a 30-day free trial. There is no free plan.

The yearly column comes from shopney.co/pricing, which shows the same monthly figures as the Shopify listing and adds an annual discount — Shopney's own page puts the saving at $360 a year on Silver and $3,600 on Enterprise.

Give them credit for that. We have now written three of these comparisons, and Shopney is the first vendor whose Shopify listing and own pricing page agree with each other. Tapcart publishes two different ladders at once. Superfans shows a $150 plan on Shopify that does not appear on superfans.io. Shopney just publishes the number, in both places, the same.

Two more things they publish that most vendors bury. Their site states plainly: "No, Shopney does not charge any success fees or commissions." And it names the fees that are not theirs: "All plans require Apple Developer ($99/year) and Google Play Developer ($25, one-time fee) accounts." Those apply to publishing a native app under your own brand no matter who builds it, including with us.

---

The part nobody prices: which rung your feature is on

This is where the $149 headline stops being the useful number.

Read the ladder in terms of what a small merchant actually asks for.

Abandoned cart notifications are on Gold, at $299. For most stores this is the single feature that pays for a mobile app, and it is the second rung, not the first.

A bottom navigation bar is on Gold. That is the row of icons along the bottom of every app on your phone. It is table stakes for how a shopping app feels, and it sits at twice the entry price.

Segmented push notifications are on Platinum, at $599. Unlimited push is on Silver, so you can message everyone. Messaging a particular group of customers starts at four times the entry price.

Multi-language and multi-currency are on Gold. If you sell across borders, your floor is $299, not $149.

We should be precise about what the listing does and does not say. It shows what each plan adds and does not spell out that higher plans include everything below them, which they very likely do. It is also normal and legitimate for a vendor to tier its features — that is how most software is sold, and Shopney is not hiding any of it. Every line above is printed on their public listing.

The point is only this: the number that matters to you is not the one at the bottom of the ladder. It is the one on the rung where your feature lives. Work that out before the 30-day trial starts, not on day 28.

Where Shopney is genuinely the better choice

Four cases, and they are not close.

You want someone to design the app for you. Shopney's site says every plan includes personalised onboarding support, and their homepage promises "Launch in 5 days – without lifting a finger." That is a done-for-you model and merchants clearly like it. MobiCart hands you a builder and expects you to use it. If you would rather not touch a builder at all, we are the wrong shape.

You need live selling. It is on Platinum, along with augmented reality and barcode scanning. We do not do live selling at all, and we are not going to pretend a roadmap counts.

You depend on a specific app in your stack. Klaviyo, Rebuy, Nosto, loyalty and subscription integrations, AppsFlyer and Adjust are all named on Shopney's listing. MobiCart talks to the core Shopify stack and not much beyond it. Their integration list is public; read it against your own stack before you read ours.

You want a track record. Shopney has been on the Shopify App Store since 5 July 2019 and holds 5.0 stars across 740 reviews. We are new in 2026 and our listing is still under review. That is not a gap we can argue our way out of, and we are not going to try.

---

What merchants say goes wrong

Here is where a competitor page usually finds its ammunition. On Shopney there is almost none.

Of 740 reviews on the Shopify listing, 725 are five stars, nine are four, five are three, one is two, and none are one star. We went looking for a pattern of complaints and did not find one. What follows is nearly the entire critical record, which is three reviews.

On support speed, from the only two-star review. Verso (Ireland, 5 October 2022), about a year on the app:

"I was quite happy with this app until we ran into constant problems with the discount codes. We had to pull two arranged discount campaigns as help didnt' come back to us fast enough and when WE thought we had fixed it ourselves it's happened now again and we've had to pull a third campaign because it could be hours again before someone helps. This is probably the only reason I would delete this App, other than that it's really good but I have no confidence in the discounts working."

On technical fixes taking weeks. CurlyGirlMethodClub (United Kingdom, edited 25 April 2024), eight months on the app:

"Haven't published an app yet, but I had a short call with Melissa. She is helpful and I will wait for her feedback on a few things to carry on with the next steps. Edit: there is a clear weakness in their technical team. We've been trying to resolve a simple issue with regards to the checkout language for 2 weeks now with no results."

On results not arriving fast enough. nunubebe (United Kingdom, 19 November 2025), three months on the app:

"VERY MIXED FEELINGS AT THE MOMENT, HAVE THE APP NOW FOR 20 DAYS , TRACKING FROM FACEBOOK STILL NOT WORKING , CLIENTS CANT SAVE PAYMENT FOR NEXT ORDER WITH IS A HUGE FACTOR TO CLIENTS RETURN AND PLACE MORE ORDER MORE OFTEN. I WILL CAME BACK TO REVIEW AGAIN , BUT AT THE MOMENT 3 WEEKS IN SALES HAVE NOT IMPROVED…"

Three critical reviews across seven years, two of them about how long a fix took. That is a good record by any standard, and it would be dishonest to present it as anything else. The third one is worth reading for a different reason: an app does not lift sales by existing. It works on customers who already buy from you.

One number we could not reconcile

Shopney's homepage says "3000+ 5-star reviews from Shopify merchants". The Shopify App Store listing shows 725 five-star reviews out of 740. We could not work out what the larger figure counts, and we are not going to guess — it may include reviews on other platforms or feedback collected privately. Both pages are theirs and both are linked here. If the number matters to your decision, ask them.

For what it is worth on adoption, Store Leads counts 720 live Shopify stores running Shopney, down 3.7% year over year, in data updated 24 July 2026. That is a broadly flat, stable installed base — not a business in trouble, and not one growing quickly either.

$49, and nothing above it

Start with what is missing from our pricing rather than what is in it: there is no second plan.

No Gold. No Platinum. No rung where the feature you came for turns out to live. Everything we have built is on the one price, and when we build something new it goes on the same price. That is the whole design, and it is the thing a four-tier ladder cannot copy without dismantling itself.

The second thing missing is a clock. Designing the app, wiring it to your store and checking it on your own handset are all free and stay free — we do not count the days. The $49 begins the month your white-label app goes into the App Store and Play Store, and not before.

A 30-day trial and a flat $49 are answers to different problems. Thirty days is generous, and it is still thirty days that start ticking while you are working out where the buttons are. Taking the clock away is simpler than making it longer.

On $49 you get a builder you drive yourself, your live app on your own phone by QR code while you are still moving things around, iOS and Android builds published under your own brand rather than ours, push notifications to your installed base, and Shopify catalog, inventory and checkout staying in step in real time.

Not on $49, because we have not built it: live selling, a directory of named third-party integrations, and any track record at all — we launched in 2026. If one of those decides it, Shopney will serve you better today and you should go and buy it.

For anything else on Shopney's Gold, Platinum or Enterprise lists, ask us directly rather than assuming either way. We would rather answer a specific question honestly than publish a feature grid we have to keep correcting.

You still pay Apple $99 a year and Google $25 once, same as with any builder. Nobody in this category absorbs those.

---

Price the thing you actually came for

Skip the feature grids. Do this instead, on paper, in about two minutes.

Write down the one feature that made you start looking for an app. Not five features — the one that made this a project instead of an idea.

Now find its rung. If it is push notifications, native iOS and Android, white-label publishing and a catalog that stays in sync, Shopney's price for that is $149 and ours is $49. If it is abandoned cart recovery, a bottom navigation bar or selling in more than one currency, Shopney's price is $299 — ask us before you assume we have it. If it is live selling, Shopney's price is $599 and our answer is no.

Multiply your rung by twelve. That is the real comparison, and for a lot of small stores it is the difference between an app that pays for itself and one that has to work quite hard before it does.

Then, if the answer came out at the first rung, build it on both and look at the two apps on your phone. Ours costs nothing to get that far and theirs is free for 30 days. Nobody has to take our word for anything.

---

Where this sits in the wider category

Shopney is the closest thing to a fair fight in this market, and the rest of it is priced higher.

Superfans, formerly Vajro, publishes $150 and $1,000 a month with a 30-day trial. Tapcart publishes $250, $500 and $1,000 on its Shopify listing, each with additional charges based on in-app performance, and a different ladder starting at $500 on its own site. MobiLoud states $1,499 a month plus a one-time setup fee on its own comparison page.

Line those up and Shopney's $149 is the low end of the established field. That is the point. The entry price for a native Shopify app from a company with a track record is somewhere around $149 to $150 a month, and it has been for a while, because the merchants who could not justify that were quietly written off as a segment. We think that is a mistake, and $49 is our argument.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Shopney cost in 2026?
Silver $149, Gold $299, Platinum $599 and Enterprise $1,299 a month, all with a 30-day free trial. Billed yearly the same plans work out at $119, $239, $499 and $999 a month. Those figures match on both the Shopify App Store listing and shopney.co.

Does Shopney have a free plan?
No. There is a 30-day free trial on every plan, and their site says you can design, test and even go live during it. After 30 days every plan is paid.

Which Shopney plan do I actually need?
Depends entirely on one or two features. Abandoned cart notifications, a bottom navigation bar and multi-currency start at Gold ($299). Segmented and AI push, live selling, AR and barcode scan start at Platinum ($599). Unlimited push notifications and back-in-stock alerts are on Silver ($149). Price your must-have feature, not the entry tier.

Does Shopney take a commission on app sales?
No. Their site states they charge no success fees or commissions, and their listing carries no revenue-share language. On this one we and Shopney work the same way.

Why does Shopney's site say 3000+ 5-star reviews when the Shopify listing shows 740 reviews?
We do not know, and we are not going to speculate. The Shopify App Store listing shows 740 reviews of which 725 are five stars. The larger figure on shopney.co may count other sources. Ask them if it matters to you.

Do I pay Apple and Google on top?
Yes, with any builder including ours. Apple charges $99 a year for a developer account and Google charges $25 once. Shopney names both amounts on their pricing page, which is more than most vendors do.

Is MobiCart cheaper because it does less?
Partly, yes, and it would be silly to pretend otherwise. We do not have live selling or a directory of named third-party integrations, and Shopney has both. What we do have is the core of a shopping app — native iOS and Android, push, real-time Shopify sync, white-label publishing — on one plan at $49 with nothing held back for a higher tier. If the core is what you need, you are paying for the core.

What is the catch with MobiCart being free until I publish?
There is not one, and it is less generous than it sounds. We think most merchants who finish building an app go on to publish it, so letting you build first costs us very little and removes the reason people stall. Build one and walk away and the cost to you is an evening.

Can I move an existing Shopney app to another builder without losing my downloads?
Sometimes, and it depends on who holds your Apple and Google developer accounts rather than on either vendor's marketing. We went through the specifics in our Tapcart comparison. Ask whoever you are leaving, in writing, before you commit.

Is an app worth it for a small store at all?
Only if you have repeat buyers already. That question deserves more than a paragraph, so we wrote one: does your Shopify store need a mobile app in 2026.

---

See both, then decide

Shopney gives you 30 days. We do not run a clock at all.

Put an hour into the MobiCart builder this week and see what your store looks like as an app. MobiCart Preview on Google Play is the companion app that draws your build on your own phone from a QR code — a real app in your hand, not a screenshot of one. That part is free for as long as you want it to be, and $49 a month starts only if you decide to publish.

Then open Shopney's 30-day trial and do the same thing. Whichever way you go, you will have looked at both before paying anyone.
