How does Amplify pricing actually work?
Amplify's App Store listing shows one plan. It is called Pay as You Grow, it starts at $99.50 a month, and the listing describes it as volume based, for brands generating up to $30,000 in total store revenue per month. There is a 30-day free trial and no free plan.
Amplify's own pricing page tells the rest of the story. Bundles & Upsell bought as an individual product is listed at $299.50 a month for the $0 to $100,000 monthly revenue band. The full platform, Amplify One, bundles Bundles & Upsell with Cart & Checkout and Subscriptions and starts at $499 a month on a one-year term.
The number that matters is what the price is charged on. Amplify's bands move with your store's total revenue, so a good month on products that have nothing to do with bundles still pushes you up a tier. Libautech's bands move only with the extra revenue the app generates. If the app earns you nothing, you are on the $9.99 plan.
What would you actually pay?
Amplify bills on your store's total revenue. Libautech bills only on the extra revenue the app generates for you. Set your numbers and see the gap.

Where Amplify (PickyStory) wins
- Subscriptions. Amplify One covers recurring orders, which Libautech: Bundles & Upsell does not do at all.
- A bundle can be sold as a single product with its own SKU, which suits stores that need bundles to behave like real inventory.
- Checkout and post-purchase upsells sit inside the same app, rather than being a second install.
- A 30-day free trial, more than four times the 7 days we offer.
- 519 reviews against our 38. There is far more public evidence of it working at scale.
Where Libautech: Bundles & Upsell wins
- Price basis. Amplify bills on your whole store's turnover; we bill only on the revenue the app makes you. A $100,000-a-month store with $2,000 of bundle revenue pays Amplify $299.50 and pays us $14.99.
- A hard ceiling. Our top plan is $49.99 a month and there is no band above it. Amplify's published ladder runs to $499 a month and beyond.
- No annual commitment. Amplify One starts at $499 a month on a one-year term. Every Libautech plan is month to month.
- The Built for Shopify badge, which Shopify grants for meeting its highest standards on performance, design and integration. Our listing carries it. Amplify's does not.
- A 4.9 rating against 4.5, though on far fewer reviews.
