- Growave's $15/month Entry plan sits in the 38th percentile of 32 priced Shopify loyalty apps, undercutting the $19 category median.
- Entry includes 500 orders/month with $20 per additional 100 orders; Growth ($199/mo) and Plus ($499/mo) include 1,500 and 3,000 orders respectively.
- At roughly 1,420 orders/month, Entry's overage fees cost the same as Growth's flat rate — past that volume, Growth is cheaper.
- The free plan includes loyalty points, wishlist, and reviews with no published order cap, letting stores test Growave before paying anything.
- VIP tiers and store credit are gated behind the Growth plan at $199/month — Entry never unlocks them regardless of overage spend.
Growave's paid plans run $15, $199, and $499 a month, and the pick for most stores is the $15/month Entry plan — it undercuts the median of comparable Shopify loyalty apps and covers 500 orders before any overage kicks in. Growave's entry price is positioned against the category median of 32 priced peers in Shopify's loyalty-and-rewards category ($19 median, $5.95–$199 range), which puts Growave's $15/month starting tier in the 38th percentile — cheaper than most of the field, not just cheap in isolation. The exception: stores running past roughly 500–1,000 monthly orders should budget for Growth ($199/month) instead, since Entry's metered overage fees erode the savings fast.
01 Growave Pricing at a Glance
Growave (4.8 stars, 1,171 reviews on the Shopify App Store) runs four published tiers on the Shopify App Store listing.
| Plan | Monthly price | Orders included | Overage | Notable gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100% Free Forever | $0 | No published order cap | — | Growave branding shown |
| Entry | $15 | 500 | $20 / 100 orders | No VIP tiers or store credit |
| Growth | $199 | 1,500 | $15 / 100 orders | Live chat support unlocked |
| Plus | $499 | 3,000 | $10 / 100 orders | Shopify Plus checkout & Hydrogen API |
02 Entry Plan ($15/Month): Who It Fits
Entry adds a referral program, purchase "nudges," fraud protection, one integration slot, and 24/7 email support on top of the free tier's loyalty points, wishlist, and reviews. It's built for stores doing well under 500 orders a month — once volume climbs, the $20-per-100-orders overage stacks quickly, and Entry never unlocks VIP tiers or store credit, no matter how much you pay in overage fees. That's the real limit of this plan: it's a volume cap dressed up as a feature gate.
Against the category, $15/month lands Growave in the 38th percentile of 32 priced competitors — cheaper than most, but not the cheapest available; some peers in the same category start as low as $5.95/month, and 81% of the category carries some kind of free tier the way Growave does.
03 Growth ($199) and Plus ($499): When You Actually Need Them
Growth is where Growave stops being a discount option. At $199/month it unlocks VIP tiers, store credit, a dedicated loyalty page, POS loyalty QR codes, back-in-stock emails, and live chat support — none of which Entry offers at any price. It also triples the included order volume to 1,500 and drops the overage rate to $15/100 orders.
Plus, at $499/month, is a Shopify Plus play specifically: it adds checkout and customer-account extensions, Hydrogen/headless API and SDK access, and a B2B points program — features that only function on a Shopify Plus store. If you're not on Plus, this tier buys you nothing the Growth plan doesn't already cover, aside from the higher 3,000-order cap and phone support.
04 How Growave Compares to Other Loyalty Apps
The category median across 32 priced Shopify loyalty apps is $19/month, so Growave's $15 entry point beats the midpoint of the field. Where Growave stacks up against specific named competitors depends on which features matter most to your store — VIP tiers, store credit, and integration depth vary widely across apps at similar price points, so it's worth pulling current pricing for your own shortlist directly before deciding.
05 Hidden Costs: Order Overage Fees Explained
Entry's $20-per-100-orders overage is the detail most pricing pages skip. Run the math against Growth's flat $199/month, and the two plans cost the same at approximately 1,420 orders/month — below that, staying on Entry and paying overage is cheaper; above it, upgrading to Growth is cheaper even before counting the VIP tiers and store credit Growth adds for free. A store doing 1,000 orders/month on Entry, for example, pays $15 base plus $100 in overage ($20 × 5 blocks of 100) — $115/month, still under Growth's flat $199, but with none of Growth's extra features.
06 Is Growave Worth the Price?
Growave's entry price is positioned against the category median in a way that clearly favors it: $15/month against a $19 median, with a usable free tier to test loyalty and wishlist features before paying anything. For stores under roughly 500–1,000 monthly orders, Entry is the right call and the clear winner here. Once a store crosses roughly 1,420 orders/month, or needs VIP tiers and store credit, Growth's flat $199/month becomes the better deal — budget for the upgrade rather than stretching Entry past its limits with overage fees.
The takeaway: don't evaluate Growave's $15 sticker price in isolation. Compare it against your actual order volume, and the Entry plan holds up as a strong starting point in the category — provided you upgrade before overage fees quietly erase the discount.
