Best free bundle apps for Shopify (2026): what each free plan really includes
Almost every bundle app says "free to install". That can mean a free plan you can run for years, a free plan capped at a few hundred dollars of sales, or free only on a development store. Here is what each free plan actually covers.
We make ZS Bundles, so weigh that. The facts about other apps are from their Shopify App Store listings, checked on 22 October 2026. Apps change their plans, so check the listing before you install.
Three kinds of "free"
- Free with no sales cap. You can run it on a live store as long as you like. The limit is in the features.
- Free up to a cap. Free until your bundle sales, the revenue the app brings in, or your orders pass a number. Then you pick a paid plan.
- Free on development stores only. Useful for testing a theme, not for selling. On a live store the first paid plan applies.

Which free plan fits which store
You only need quantity breaks or buy X get Y
Bundler's free plan is hard to beat here: no revenue or order cap, and it has been on the App Store since 2019 with 2,742 reviews. If those two offer types are all you will ever run, start there.
You want to try a box, a gift or a fixed set too
Most free plans give you one or two bundle types, or every type with a small sales cap. ZS Bundles gives you every type on Free, including mix & match boxes and free gifts, with one bundle live at a time. That lets you test a different offer each month and keep the one that works.
You need inventory sync for kits
Simple Bundles is built around component inventory and SKU breakdown for fulfilment. Its free plan covers 3 bundles and 50 monthly orders.
You only sell fixed kits
Shopify's own Bundles app is free and made by Shopify. Read its documented limits before you build many variants.
What happens when you outgrow the free plan
This is the part people skip. Look at the first paid plan and what it is based on:
| App | First paid plan | Based on |
|---|---|---|
| ZS Bundles | Starter $12.99 / month (14-day trial) | Bundle orders: 500 a month, unlimited live bundles |
| Bundler | Premium $9.99 / month (7-day trial) | Features (no revenue limit) |
| Appstle Bundles | Starter $7.99 / month (30-day trial) | Bundle sales: up to $2,000 a month |
| Pumper Bundles | Starter $9.99 / month (7-day trial) | Extra revenue: up to $1,000 |
| Easy Bundles | Essential $29 / month (15-day trial) | Bundle sales: up to $3,000 a month |
| Kaching Bundles | Starter $14.99 / month (7-day trial) | Additional revenue: up to $1,000 |
| Fast Bundle | Standard (1K) $19 / month (7-day trial) | Monthly bundle sales: up to $1,000 |
Checked 22 October 2026. A revenue cap of $1,000 or $2,000 is passed quickly once a bundle works. An order cap grows with the number of orders, not their size. We compare this in detail, with worked examples, in Shopify bundle app pricing compared.
Where ZS Bundles fits
ZS Bundles is new on the App Store, so it doesn't have the review history of the apps above. What it offers on the free plan:
- Every bundle type except progressive gifts (gifts that unlock as the cart value grows, on Scale).
- The offer on your product page, in a widget that matches your theme, using the products you already have.
- The price applied by Shopify at checkout through Shopify Functions. No discount codes to leak.
- Our team sets up your first two bundles for free.
When one live bundle isn't enough, Starter is $12.99 a month for 500 bundle orders and unlimited live bundles, with a 14-day free trial.
Questions
Is there a bundle app that is completely free?
Yes. Bundler's free plan has no revenue or order cap for buy X get Y and quantity breaks, and several apps list only a free price. Shopify Bundles is free for fixed bundles and multipacks.
Can I use a free plan on a live store?
For most apps in the table, yes. Kaching Bundles and Fast Bundle list their free plan for development stores only.
Does the ZS Bundles free plan expire?
No. It keeps one bundle live at a time and up to 20 bundle orders a month for as long as you use it.
What counts as a bundle order?
An order that contains a bundle. One order with three bundles in it counts once.
