What is a good Discounty alternative for Shopify?
Who this guide is for
This guide is for Shopify merchants who use Discounty, or looked at it, and want to compare other apps before they pay. Discounty runs store-wide sales, quantity discounts, BOGO and free gifts from one app, so a good alternative has to cover the offers you actually run.
We compared 5 alternatives with Discounty. Every competitor fact, rating and price comes from the app's Shopify App Store listing, checked on November 12, 2026. We did not install the other apps for this page. Prices are per month, in US dollars, and can change.
Shopstack makes Discount Genie, one of the apps on this list. It is listed first, and every other app is described from its own listing.

- Run the offer as a discount code or as an automatic discount. Source: help.shopify.com
Shopify can’t
