What does each app cost as you grow?
On Shopify, Essential Upsell & Cross Sell has a free plan up to $100 of added monthly revenue, and Zipify One Click Upsell has no free plan for merchants. The two start at almost the same price, but between $2,500 and $10,000 of monthly upsell revenue Essential costs $59.99 or $99.99 where Zipify lists $149.
Zipify prices by monthly upsell revenue: $9.95 up to $200, $25 to $99 (per the listing) for $200 to $2,500 of monthly upsell revenue, and $149 above $2,500. So $2,500 sits at the top of the $25 to $99 range, and above it the listed price is $149. The listing doesn't make clear where in the $25 to $99 range the price moves. Every plan includes all features and a 30-day free trial, and the listing says you never pay for order volume.
Essential Upsell & Cross Sell is priced by added revenue: Free ($0, up to $100), $9.99 (up to $500), $19.99 (up to $1,000), $39.99 (up to $2,500), $59.99 (up to $5,000), $99.99 (up to $10,000), $149.99 above that, and a custom Enterprise plan. Revenue is counted when the order is completed, the trigger product in a frequently bought together offer isn't counted, and you move up a plan automatically as you grow. Details are on our Upsell pricing page.
| Monthly upsell revenue | Essential Upsell & Cross Sell | Zipify One Click Upsell |
|---|---|---|
| $50 | $0 | $9.95 |
| $200 | $9.99 | $9.95 |
| $500 | $9.99 | $25 to $99 |
| $1,000 | $19.99 | $25 to $99 |
| $2,500 | $39.99 | $25 to $99 |
| $5,000 | $59.99 | $149 |
| $10,000 | $99.99 | $149 |
| $12,000 | $149.99 | $149 |
From $200 to $2,500 the two price lists overlap and Zipify's range makes it unclear which is cheaper.
Two honest caveats. Above $10,000 Zipify is cheaper by 99 cents ($149 against our $149.99). And cart offers start on our $19.99 plan, while every Zipify feature sits on every Zipify plan. Paid Essential plans also come with a 14-day free trial and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Winner: Essential Upsell & Cross Sell Free start and price between $2,500 and $10,000, because it is the only one with a free plan for merchants, and it costs $59.99 or $99.99 where Zipify lists $149. Zipify keeps the edge on plan simplicity and trial length.
How do the offers and placements compare?
On Shopify, Essential Upsell & Cross Sell offers product page, cart page, post-purchase and pop-up offers, in cross-sell, add-on and frequently bought together formats. Zipify One Click Upsell lists in-cart, post-purchase, product page, cart drawer, checkout (Shopify Plus) and thank-you page upsells, so it lists more placements in a single app.
Our post-purchase offers show after payment and before the thank-you page. Accepted items are added to the original order and charged automatically. You can pick products by hand or let the app choose related ones, set triggers and exclusions, add a second offer and a downsell if the customer declines, and apply a percentage or fixed discount with free or paid shipping.
Product and cart offers trigger by product, collection or cart value, with exclusions, and pop-ups fire on add to cart or at checkout. See our guides to cart upsells and frequently bought together. To show offers inside a cart drawer, you also need Essential Cart Drawer.
One limit applies to any post-purchase app, ours included: Shopify, not the app, decides when the post-purchase page shows. It's skipped for some payment methods (Klarna, Affirm, Afterpay, Sezzle, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay express, cash on delivery, bank transfers), for orders under $0.50 and for orders not in your store's default currency. Our help docs say this affects all post-purchase upsells on Shopify.
Winner: Zipify One Click Upsell Placements, because it lists thank-you page upsells (via PostProfit, per the listing) and Shopify Plus checkout upsells. Essential Upsell & Cross Sell matches the post-purchase, product page and cart basics, and adds the rest through free companion apps.
What else does the Essential app suite add?
Essential Upsell & Cross Sell is one of 14 Essential apps for Shopify, and every Essential app has a free plan. Three of them fill gaps in the Upsell listing: Essential Checkout for thank-you page offers, Essential Cart Drawer for cart drawer offers and Essential CRO Split AB Testing for template tests. They are separate installs.
Essential Checkout (free, Built for Shopify, 5.0 from 14 reviews): thank-you page offers and banners for chosen orders, a free shipping bar for upsells at checkout, payment and shipping method rules, validation and checkout discounts. Essential Checkout's listing doesn't state a Shopify Plus requirement; check Shopify's rules for your plan.
Essential Cart Drawer (Built for Shopify, 5.0 from 1,207 reviews): cart drawer upsells picked by Shopify AI or by hand, free shipping and free gift tiers, a progress bar and a sticky add to cart. The free plan covers 30 orders a month, paid plans start at $8.99.
Essential CRO Split AB Testing (free, Built for Shopify, 5.0 from 28 reviews): split tests product pages, collections, the homepage and themes with no page flicker. It tests templates, not individual upsell offers, and it's English only.
So offer-level A/B testing is not in our suite. Zipify has it.
Winner: Essential Upsell & Cross Sell App suite and versatility, because one vendor gives you free apps for the cart drawer, thank-you page and template tests, all Built for Shopify. Zipify's listing shows no comparable companion apps.
Which app has better support?
On Shopify, Essential Upsell & Cross Sell and Zipify One Click Upsell both publish support information, but different details. Our site says "Real humans, 24/7", and our homepage says the team usually replies in under 10 minutes. Zipify's listing says support is provided by Zipify Apps and links an FAQ. These are published claims, not measured results.
On reputation, Essential Upsell & Cross Sell holds 5.0 stars across 2,486 reviews (97% 5-star). Zipify One Click Upsell holds 4.6 across 577. Zipify has been on the App Store since October 2020, and we launched in June 2024, so it has the longer history.
Tie: on their listings and sites Both publish support information; Essential's site says 24/7 and a usual reply in under 10 minutes, Zipify's listing says support is provided by Zipify Apps and links an FAQ.
How do offers look, and in which languages?
Essential Upsell & Cross Sell holds the Built for Shopify badge, installs as a theme app embed with no code and supports 20 languages on Shopify. Zipify One Click Upsell also holds the badge, but its listing shows English only. The language gap matters most if your shoppers don't read English.
Our post-purchase offer inherits your checkout styling, and Shopify limits button customization there. Cart and pop-up offers have adjustable text, layout and colors, and the listing tags include drag-and-drop editor, mobile responsive and custom styles. The languages include French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Dutch, Polish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish and Chinese. We haven't compared the two apps' offers side by side, so we don't call a winner on looks.
Winner: Essential Upsell & Cross Sell Languages, because 20 languages against English only. Both apps are Built for Shopify, so design is a tie on the evidence we have.
Where is Zipify One Click Upsell stronger?
Zipify One Click Upsell is stronger on A/B testing of offers, thank-you page upsells (via PostProfit, per the listing) and Shopify Plus checkout upsells, plan simplicity and trial length. Choose it on Shopify if testing individual offers is how you decide what to show, or if you want every feature from your first paid plan.
