About this comparison

What Shopify does on its own
Shopify's own discounts cover the basics without either app. Each item below links the Shopify page it comes from (checked November 13, 2026).
- From your Shopify admin, go to Discounts, click Create discount, and click Amount off orders.
- Under Method, choose Automatic discount and enter the title Spend $100, save 10%.
- Set the value to Percentage and enter 10.
- Under Minimum requirements, select Minimum purchase amount and enter 100.
- Leave the other order discounts unchecked under Combinations, then click Save.
- Repeat for 200 at 20%. A $250 cart qualifies for both, and Shopify applies the better one.

When Dealeasy is the better pick
- You sell bundles. Dealeasy builds fixed, mix and match and build a box bundles. Discount Genie doesn't build bundles.
- You want gifts added for the shopper. Dealeasy adds a free gift to the cart when a shopper reaches a spend goal, and shows a progress bar toward it.
- You want the most offers for the least money. Dealeasy's free plan holds 5 offers, and $9 a month unlocks unlimited offers. Discount Genie's cheapest paid plan is $29.99 a month after the first 3 months.
- You want an app with a long review history. Dealeasy shows 652 reviews on its listing, Discount Genie 50+.
When Discount Genie is the better pick
- You need to block codes during a sale. A Discount Genie rejection rule set to No codes allowed stops every typed code, so a Black Friday shopper gets only your sitewide offer. It works on the basic free plan.
- You send unique codes in bulk. The bulk code generator creates random or uploaded codes and can send them to a Klaviyo coupon, for example one code per email subscriber.
- You discount for specific customers. A condition can match customer tags, emails, email domains, segments, order count or total spent, for example 15% off for shoppers tagged VIP.
- You want every tier in one discount. One Volume discount holds buy 2, save 10%; buy 3, save 15%, and one Tiered order discount holds spend $100, save $10; spend $200, save $25.
- You discount by payment method or store pickup. Both work on every plan, for example 5% off when a shopper pays by bank transfer.
Can you use both?
Yes. A store can run Dealeasy for bundles and gift goals and Discount Genie for code rules and customer discounts. Two points to plan around:
- Shopify applies two discounts together only when both are set to combine. Check the combination settings of each app's offers before a sale.
- Shopify allows 25 active automatic discounts, app discounts included, and each Discount Genie automatic discount counts toward it.
