Pugglez review for Kiwi Size Chart & Recommender

Sept. 14, 2024

I used Kiwi Sizing to display size charts on my Shopify store, and while the app functions basically as advertised, their pricing model leaves much to be desired. On principle, I have disabled from my store and will be removing the app. The Ultimate Plan starts at $12.49 USD monthly, which seems reasonable until you delve into the fine print. They charge extra fees based on the number of web orders you receive: $0 extra for less than 100 orders $5 extra for 100–500 orders $20 extra for 500–2,000 orders $60 extra for 2,000–6,000 orders $120 extra for 6,000–10,000 orders $200 extra for 10,000–20,000 orders $350 extra for more than 20,000 orders To put it into perspective, it's like hiring a plumber to fix your pipes, and then being charged not just for the repair, but also an ongoing monthly fee based on how much water you use afterward. It doesn't make sense to pay perpetually—and increasingly—as your usage grows for a service that was set up once. Furthermore, a sizing chart is just one of many factors that contribute to the success of an online store. Even the world's best sizing chart won't boost sales if the site has poor products or a bad user experience. It feels inappropriate for Kiwi Sizing to implement a pricing model that scales with my store's success, almost as if they're taking credit for increased sales that result from a multitude of other efforts. While I appreciate the functionality of Kiwi Sizing, I can't recommend it to other store owners who are mindful of scalable and fair pricing. Unless they reconsider this approach, I'd advise looking for alternative solutions that offer transparent and reasonable pricing without tying costs to your store's performance.
