Who this comparison is for
This page is for Shopify merchants who use Multiscount, or are about to, and want to compare other apps for tiered discounts such as spend $100, save 10%; spend $200, save 15%.
We compared 5 apps against Multiscount on tiered discounts, free plans and price. Every competitor fact, rating and price comes from the app's Shopify App Store listing, checked on November 12, 2026. Prices are per month, in US dollars, and can change. We did not install or test the other apps.
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.
What Multiscount does
Multiscount: Tiered Discounts by Nextools runs stackable and tiered discounts. Its listing names four discount types: volume discounts, free gifts, order goals and shipping discount. It shows widgets on the product page and the cart page, and a banner at checkout with the available discounts. It is rated 5.0 from 25 reviews, per its Shopify App Store listing, checked November 12, 2026.
Multiscount's free plan is "Free for dev stores" and "Free for Shopify Plus sandbox stores". A live store pays for one of two plans:
- Premium, $8.99 a month, with unlimited discounts and up to 5 tiers each for product, order and gift discounts.
- Advanced, $15.99 a month, with up to 12 product and order discount tiers and discounts that run on POS only.
Each paid plan has a 7-day free trial. If you want a free plan on a live store, compare the apps below.
What Shopify does on its own
Shopify has no tier setting. Each amount off discount takes one minimum purchase amount, so you build one automatic discount per tier. Each item below links the Shopify page it comes from (checked November 12, 2026).
To run spend-more-save-more tiers with Shopify's own automatic discounts:
- 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%.
- In the Value section, select 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 15%. A $250 cart qualifies for both, and Shopify applies the better one.
