 "summary": "Shopify app that puts video upsells and bundles on product, cart and post-purchase pages, using your own clips or AI-generated ones.",
 "best_for": "shopify stores that already own product video and want it working as an upsell at the product page, cart and post-purchase moments, or that want to test a handful of AI-generated clips cheaply before committing",
 "skip_if": "you want generated video across a large catalogue — the per-credit pricing, not the $9.99, is then the real bill — or you need an app with a merchant track record you can check before you install",
 "honest_knock": "AI video is the reason to install this, and it is the one thing the subscription does not cover. Starter's $9.99 buys two generated clips a month and Pro's $29.99 buys five; after that you pay $2 or $1.50 per clip. A store with fifty products that wants a video on each is buying credits, not a plan, and should price it that way before signing up. The free tier is a demo rather than a usable floor — one campaign, five conversions, no AI at all. And there is almost no merchant track record to read: the app launched on 30 October 2025 and, read 5 October 2026, carries exactly one App Store review, a five-star note from 11 November 2025 by a store that had used it for two days, so nearly a year in, you would in effect be the test.",

Free gives one active video upsell campaign, up to 5 conversions and bundles, YouTube or Vimeo videos only and all available placements, with a 7-day free trial. Starter is $9.99 a month and removes the campaign and conversion limits, adds AI-generated video and includes 2 AI video credits a month; extra credits are $2 each, sold in bundles of $2, $10, $20 and $40. Pro is $29.99 a month for everything in Starter plus 5 AI video credits a month, all placements and priority support, with extra credits at $1.50 (bundles of $1.50, $7.50, $15 and $30). The subscription is flat. The AI video generation on top of it is not.",

  "name": "AfterSell",
  "why": "AfterSell is the broader, longer-established post-purchase upsell app on Shopify and the safer default if what you want is upsell coverage as such. Optizen is narrower on purpose: the offer is video, either yours or AI-generated, placed at product, cart and post-purchase moments. Choose Optizen if video is the thing you believe will move the offer — and price the AI credits before you do. Choose AfterSell if you want a track record and a wider feature set behind the upsell itself."
