One flat price, not a stack of bills
Getting a branded app on Shopify means stacking a flat-priced app-builder on top of your Shopify plan. Those bills are flat — but you pay both, and they don't shrink as you grow. YourCart is £49/month, all in.
A branded app on Shopify is really two subscriptions: Shopify itself, plus an app-builder like Tapcart or Superfans on top. Each is flat-priced, so neither grows with your sales — but you carry both every month. YourCart replaces that stack with a single £49/month subscription that already includes a branded iOS app, a branded Android app, and a web store.
The table below lines the options up flat-versus-flat: what each one actually includes, and the real monthly cost at the cheapest tier that gets you a live branded app.
What you get, and what it really costs
| Option | Branded iOS app | Branded Android app | Web store included | Admin portal | We build & submit your apps | Real monthly cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shopify + Tapcart | Yes | Yes | Yes (Shopify) | Yes | Self-serve | ≈ £393/mo |
| Shopify + Superfans | Yes | Yes | Yes (Shopify) | Yes | Self-serve | ≈ £767/mo |
| YourCartAll-in | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes — we do it | £49/mo |
Costs are the cheapest tier that actually gets you a live branded iOS + Android app, at published list prices (converted to GBP where a builder is priced in USD; verified 2026-07-09). Shopify + Tapcart is Shopify Basic UK (from £19/mo) plus Tapcart Growth ($500/mo); Shopify + Superfans is Shopify Basic plus Superfans ($1,000/mo). None of these charge a per-sale success fee today.
Two reasons the gap holds
The price gap is structural
An app-builder on Shopify is a second flat subscription bolted onto a first one. Even at the cheapest tiers that stack lands around £393/month; the popular alternative is closer to £767. YourCart is £49/month for the same branded iOS app, Android app, and web store — one bill, not two.
Flat means flat: none of these grow with your sales. But paying one £49 subscription instead of two is the difference that compounds every single month.
And you own the outcome
YourCart builds and submits your apps for you — you don't touch Xcode or a build pipeline. On Apple you are the publisher of record under your own developer account; on Google your brand ships under our managed Play Console, the same hybrid model Tapcart runs for large brands.
That ownership survives competitor repricing. A rival can drop its price tomorrow; it can't hand you a done-for-you build-and-submit service and your name on the App Store listing at £49/month.
Apple charges $99/year for your developer membership, paid by you directly to Apple and never collected by us. Google's $25 one-off is on us. Detailed head-to-heads: vs Tapcart, the 3-way comparison, and vs an agency.
