 "best_for": "Shopify stores that regularly sell out of popular products and want to recover that lost demand with back-in-stock notifications, pre-orders and wishlists",
 "skip_if": "you rarely run out of stock, or your store volume is too low for the recovered sales to outweigh the subscription",
 "honest_knock": "It does one job — turning out-of-stock moments into recovered sales via back-in-stock and pre-order alerts — and its value is entirely tied to how often you actually sell out. If your catalog rarely goes out of stock, you won't see much return. As with any Shopify app it's another monthly line item and another script on your storefront, so weigh it against the real revenue you're leaking to stock-outs.",

Each paid tier runs a discounted first month ($3.96, $7.96 and $15.96). Kickstart and Starter carry the same caps (500 alerts, 500 preorders); Standard raises them to 1,500 each, and the listing says unlimited plans are available inside the app. Pre-orders above the plan limit are $0.20 each and $0.15 on Standard; SMS and WhatsApp are priced per country. Kickstart is restricted to Basic Shopify stores in their first year. Lite's allowances are mostly lifetime, not monthly: 100 back-in-stock requests, 5 pre-orders, 50 wishlist actions and 5 SMS and 5 WhatsApp messages over the life of the store, plus 10 notifications a month. 7-day trial and a 30-day money-back guarantee.",
