How InCircle compares with other Shopify membership apps
The right Shopify membership app depends on what you sell. Dedicated membership apps such as InCircle and Appstle are built around perks and access. Subscription apps such as Recharge and Seal are built to reship products. These comparisons use each app's own listing and pricing page.

Read the comparison - A subscriptions app
InCircle vs Recharge Subscriptions

How migration works
What makes InCircle different from other membership apps?
InCircle Memberships is built to grow revenue from a membership, as well as to run one. Alongside plans and perks it includes the tools that bring members in and keep them: a storefront that matches your theme, built-in campaigns and attribution, retention offers, in-store member cards, and a free plan to start on.
Set up around outcomes
You start from what you want (repeat customers, recurring revenue) and the app walks you to a live membership.
A storefront that matches your theme
The join widget and memberships page sit in your theme, and from Starter take their look from it in one click.
In-store member cards
A digital card with a QR code, scanned at the register, so perks work in person.
Marketing and attribution built in
Campaigns, segments, Shopify Flow triggers and tracked join links, without a second app.
Retention offers
A pause or a discount offered at the moment a member tries to cancel.
A real free plan
30 members with no time limit, and 300 members for $19.99 a month.
How we compare
Every fact about another app on these pages was read from that app's own Shopify App Store listing or website when we checked it. When we couldn't find something on those pages we say "not listed", which means exactly that: it may exist, and we didn't see it.
Prices and features change, so confirm the details on each app's listing before you decide. InCircle's own prices are on the pricing page.
Your next loyal member is already shopping with you.
