The app-stack math

Kiva Logic Features vs. Building a Shopify App Stack

Shopify handles standard e-commerce out of the box, but running recurring boxes and local delivery usually requires adding separate third-party apps for routing, custom boxes, and packing lists. Here is how Kiva Logic compares.

That's $1,114+ a month of Shopify apps, replaced by one platform at $1 per order.

And unlike the app stack, the pieces here actually talk to each other.

Two ways to build it

A stack of apps, or one platform.

Shopify + a pile of apps

A separate monthly bill for every capability

A dozen logins and dashboards to keep straight

Apps that don't share data or talk to each other

Every price rises as your orders and list grow

When something breaks, it's your job to find which app

Kiva Logic

Everything on the list above, included

One login, one platform, one team that knows it all

The pieces are built together, so they work together

$1 per order, no per-app fees stacking up

One team to call when you need help

And this is only the plugin math

There's a whole layer Shopify can't do at all.

Own-fleet route optimization and a driver app, a warehouse packing app, preference-based box substitution, and so much more. There's no plugin for these.

Common questions.

Are these really separate apps on Shopify?

Yes. Each row names a real Shopify app you'd install and pay for to get that capability. Bundle enough of them to run a subscription delivery business and the monthly total adds up fast, before you've sold anything.

How is the pricing figured?

Each figure is approximate entry pricing from that app's own site. Most of them scale up with your order count, contact list, or revenue, so the real number for a growing store is usually higher, not lower.

What does Kiva Logic cost instead?

$1 per order, no minimum and no long-term contract. Because all of this is included, there's no stack of per-app monthly fees on top. See the pricing page for details.

Can you move me off Shopify?

Yes. We migrate customer lists, product catalogs, and order history regularly. Tell us about your setup and we'll map out the cleanest way to bring it over.

Just a conversation

Third-party app names and prices are shown for comparison only. Pricing reflects publicly listed entry-level pricing gathered from each provider's own website as of September 2026; it is approximate and can change at any time, and many of these apps charge more as your orders, contact list, or revenue grow. We do not guarantee the accuracy or currency of any third-party pricing or feature, and we encourage you to confirm current pricing and capabilities directly with each provider. Feature comparisons are general and describe broadly comparable capabilities, not identical products. All product names, logos, and brands referenced (including Shopify and every app named) are the property of their respective owners; their use here is for identification and comparison only and does not imply any affiliation with, endorsement by, or partnership with Kiva Logic. Kiva Logic pricing ("$1 per order") is per our current pricing and terms, and some usage-based services (for example, SMS message sends) may be billed separately at cost. Any totals shown are illustrative of a representative app stack, not a guarantee of savings; your actual costs depend on which apps you use and your volume.
