Brand new
| Why merchants look elsewhere | No free plan (7-day trial). Per-order fees above plan limits ($0.20, $0.15, $0.10). Two reviewers in 2025 reported bills of $500 to $800 against the listed $19.99. English only per listing, though Rise says text customization exists. |
|---|---|
| What Rise.ai does well | 4.7 from 763 reviews. In market since December 2014. Gift cards, store credit, referrals and loyalty in one wallet. POS and Shopify Flow integrations. |
Rise.ai covers gift cards, store credit and loyalty. Most merchants who leave want one piece of it: store credit, cheaply, without per-order fees. These seven apps are ranked by our 100 point score for that job.
Quick answer by reason
- Billing surprises: pick a flat price. Bulk Store Credit Pro ($49), StoreCred ($19) and CreditsYard ($29 to $149) list no per-order fees.
- No free plan: Bulk Store Credit, Dollarback, Redeemly, Stork and Koin list one.
- Want loyalty, not just credit: Rise.ai is still the broadest. See what a store credit app can and cannot replace.
Switching safely
- List the outstanding balances in the old app before you touch anything.
- Check where the balance lives: native Shopify store credit or the app's own wallet.
- Load a small test CSV in the new app and check one customer's account.
- Keep the old app installed until balances match, then cancel.

Where Rise.ai still wins
If you run a loyalty program with referrals and want gift cards, store credit and cashback in one place, with POS and Flow, no app in this list replaces all of that. Rise.ai has the longest history and the largest review base here. Read the Rise.ai listing and price your own order volume before you decide.
Questions people ask
What are the best Rise.ai alternatives for Shopify?
For bulk store credit, Bulk Store Credit. For free cashback and referral, Dollarback and Redeemly. For a heavily reviewed option, Koin. For gift cards, Bulk Gift Cards, Datora or Gift Card Hero. Scores are on this page.
Why is my Rise.ai bill higher than $19.99?
Rise.ai plans include 100, 400 or 2,000 store orders and add $0.20, $0.15 or $0.10 per order above that, as listed. The count is total store orders, not only gift card orders. Check the plan page inside the app.
How do I switch store credit apps without losing customer balances?
Before cancelling, export or record every outstanding balance, and ask the old app whether balances live in Shopify's native store credit accounts or in its own wallet. Bulk Store Credit and Koin say they use Shopify-native credit. Rise.ai's listing does not say.
