It is average on entry price. There is no free plan for live stores; the only free plan is for development stores, whereas 61% of the sampled peers offer a free tier. Higher plans run $14.99 (199 orders) and $24.99 (499 orders).
01 Kaching CartDrawer Cart Upsell pricing at a glance
The pricing is tiered by monthly order volume, not by features. As of October 2026, the App Store listing shows three paid plans, billed every 30 days in USD. There is no free plan for live stores; the only free plan is for development stores, which is free for testing.
| Plan | Price | Order limit |
|---|---|---|
| Entry | $9.99/month | 99 orders/mo |
| Mid | $14.99/month | 199 orders/mo |
| Top | $24.99/month | 499 orders/mo |
The app is free for development stores, so you can build and test before paying. All paid tiers list the same features: trust badges, an urgency countdown timer, a free shipping and free gift bar, an upsell slide carousel, a toggle for shipping protection or gift wrap, payment icons and customization. The app supports seven languages: English, German, Italian, French, Dutch, Swedish and Spanish. You are paying for order volume, nothing else.
02 How $9.99/mo compares to 32 priced cart and checkout apps
We measured the category on 17 August 2026, across apps with more than 100 App Store reviews. Of 46 sampled, 32 carry a paid price. The median entry price is $9.99, the range runs from $1.99 to $249, and 61% of the sampled peers offer a free tier.
- Price position — $9.99 sits at the 47th percentile, so slightly cheaper than the middle of the pack by rank, and identical to the median in dollars.
- Free tier — many peers let you start free; Kaching has no free plan for live stores, and its only free plan is for development stores.
- Ceiling — the top plan is $24.99 versus $9.99 at entry, with each tier scaling by order volume.
03 Kaching CartDrawer Cart Upsell review: is the 5-star rating earned?
The listing shows a 5.0 rating across 1,501 reviews. About 98% are 5-star, 1% are 4-star, one review is 2-star and six are 1-star. That is a strong, consistent profile, and the count is large enough to trust.
Recent reviews from August to October 2026 point to three themes:
- Support — the most cited strength, with staff named. One reviewer wrote that "the support is what makes it stand out."
- Revenue impact — one merchant says the UI "has massively increased my AOV."
- Setup — mostly easy, though one reviewer found it "a little tricky at first" before support resolved it.
The visible complaints are minor, such as a request for larger side-bar images on desktop.
04 What you actually pay as your order volume grows
The model bites in one place: the fee rises with orders, exactly when upsell revenue should also be rising. Going from 99 to 199 orders adds $5 a month, and 199 to 499 adds $10. The listing does not specify what happens when you pass a cap, so plan to size up ahead of busy seasons.
Break-even is simple arithmetic. If an upsell earns you $1 in profit, the $9.99 plan needs about 10 upsell sales a month to pay for itself, $14.99 needs about 15, and $24.99 needs about 25. Against 99 orders or more, that is a modest take rate, though your real results depend on your catalog and offers.
On development stores the app is free, so you can build and test your drawer before paying anything. That removes setup risk, but it does not give you a free live-store plan.
05 Is Kaching CartDrawer Cart Upsell worth it? Our verdict
Yes, for most small to mid-size stores. Pick the $9.99 plan if you are under 99 orders a month, and step up only when your volume requires it. The entry price is fair against the category median, the feature set is the same on every tier, and the review record is excellent. There is no free plan for live stores; the only free plan is for development stores.
- Stay with Kaching — if support quality and a polished cart drawer matter more than saving $9.99.
- Choose a free-tier peer instead — if you need zero fixed cost, or you are a brand-new store with only a handful of orders.
06 Conclusion
Kaching CartDrawer Cart Upsell earns its place: install the $9.99/mo 99-order plan, test free on a development store first, and move up the tiers only as orders grow. Its entry price matches the category median, so the real trade-off is that live stores have no free plan, not the cost.
