**Unfair Pricing Model – Feels Like a Hidden Billing Trap**
I am extremely disappointed with Kiwi Sizing's pricing model. After upgrading to a higher-tier plan, I discovered that they charge based on my store's total order volume, even for orders that never use their size charts.
**Why should I pay for orders that have absolutely nothing to do with this app?**
This is an unreasonable and unfair billing practice. Merchants should be charged based on actual usage, not their entire store's sales activity.
This pricing structure feels like a hidden billing trap that penalizes growing businesses. I strongly encourage other Shopify merchants to carefully review the billing terms before upgrading.
**Kiwi Sizing should seriously reconsider this pricing model.**
Hi Liming,
My name is Sharky, a Customer Experience Lead at Kiwi.
I'm sorry to hear how disappointing this experience has been, especially after upgrading your plan and discovering that orders without size charts were still included in your usage charges. Your concerns about how our pricing works are completely understandable, and I recognize that simply explaining the billing structure doesn't address the frustration you've experienced.
I'll be following up with you directly through your existing support conversation. I hope we can find a fair way forward and rebuild your confidence in our app.
Respectfully,
Sharky
Me han cobrado 1 año de suscripción cuando lo tenia quitado para que no me cobraran más. No me parece buenas prácticas y tampoco responden a los correos... No lo recomiendo
We’re sorry for the unexpected charge and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We’ve already processed your refund, and a member of our management team will be reaching out to you directly to make sure everything is fully resolved. We appreciate the opportunity to make this right.

Tried out their "Plus" ($15USD/month) plan with the 2 week free trial and quit that plan before the free trial period ended as I decided to use a different app. Noticed that I was going to be billed for that plan for the month anyway 2 days before it started.
Approached support whilst it was still showing as an upcoming bill to ask about why I was getting billed even though I ended the free trial plan, and set it back to free. Didn't get a response even after multiple follow ups. Now that billing went through and they're still not responding to my messages/emails.
Now not only do I need to waste a huge amount of time to try to find a way to fight for a refund as I never used the application for a paid tier beyond the free trial period, I will also need to find a way to protect myself and ensure that they don't bill me monthly AGAIN as they do not seem to want to respond to my support enquiries.
We’re sorry for the frustration this caused, especially after you canceled the Plus trial and then saw the charge go through while you were still waiting for a response. Your messages came in over the weekend while our team was out of the office, but we understand how concerning it was to see the billing proceed without hearing back from us.
We’ve since resolved the charge through app credits earlier today. We apologize for the delay and the time you had to spend following up, and we appreciate the opportunity to make this right.

I’ve been using Kiwi for over two years now and have always been very satisfied, but I find the recent changes to the pricing plans absolutely ridiculous.
I used to pay $6.99 a month and could publish up to 100 size charts. Now the price has gone up to $7.99, whilst you’re only allowed to publish 10 size charts. That’s a massive downgrade for a higher price.
As if that weren’t enough, Kiwi now also charges extra based on the number of orders you receive each month. This wasn’t the case before and really makes no sense at all.
It’s a shame to see that an app I’ve enjoyed using for years is becoming increasingly expensive whilst offering less and less. Think carefully before choosing Kiwi, as I find the current value for money downright poor. There are much better competitors on the market with fair prices! Kiwi, this is a real shame
We’re sorry the recent plan changes have been such a disappointment, especially after more than two years with Kiwi. We understand why moving from your previous $6.99 plan with up to 100 charts to the current pricing and lower chart limits feels like a significant loss in value.
Our plans were restructured to better reflect different levels of app usage, but we recognize that this change does not work well for every merchant, particularly longtime users of the previous plans. We appreciate you sharing this feedback, and someone from our management team will be reaching out to you directly to discuss your concerns further.

The training materials for implementation could be better, but the staff went above and beyond to help me custom code a solution for my product. They also provided invaluable expertise in ensuring my calculations from tech pack size chart to recommendations were accurate.
It’s wonderful to hear our team could go above and beyond with the custom coding and help make sure your tech pack size chart calculations translated accurately into recommendations! Thanks a lot for the 5-star review!
We have been using this app for several years and were happy with it. Unfortunately, after accidentally upgrading our plan, we were moved to a completely different pricing model without any clear warning.
We used to pay around $5 to $7 per month. Now we are being charged around $150 per month because the pricing is based on the number of orders. This pricing model makes very little sense for our business, especially when the app simply displays size charts and has nothing to do with order processing.
The biggest issue is that once you have created 100+ size charts, switching to another app is extremely time consuming and difficult. It feels like customers are locked in and forced to accept the new pricing.
The pricing is not transparent, and we were never clearly informed that a simple plan upgrade would permanently move us to this expensive order based model.
The app itself works well, but the pricing policy is very disappointing. I hope the team introduces a fair pricing option for long time customers instead of forcing them into an unreasonable pricing structure.
We’re sorry this plan change resulted in such an unexpected price increase, especially after years of using Kiwi and building more than 100 size charts. We understand your concerns about pricing transparency and the difficulty of moving an established setup. A member of our team has reached out directly to review your account, explain what happened, and work with you toward a fair resolution.

This app has been such an important addition to our store. The size charts are professional, and the recommender gives our customers the confidence they need when placing their orders. It has also helped minimize sizing questions and reduce abandoned carts by providing shoppers with the information they need to order with confidence. I've had a few questions along the way, and their customer service has always been responsive and helpful!
It’s great to hear Kiwi’s size charts and recommender are giving shoppers more confidence while reducing sizing questions and abandoned carts. We appreciate Kiwi being an important part of your store over the past eight months!
Overall a great app with very helpful support.
Some things to mention -
1. the settings could be more user friendly with more design options that does not require use of CSS.
2. Most importantly - the localization options are limited. If you are running a store with a less known language, you might have some trouble localizing. That being said, hopefully more default languages (or an option to set up a custom language) will be added soon.
Otherwise, it is great!
Thank you for the thoughtful five-star review, Elorëlle. We’re glad Kiwi and our support have been helpful, and we appreciate your ideas for easier design settings without CSS and broader localization options.

The base app is decent, but false advertising will lead you to buying the upsell.
The translate feature clearly says "Translate your size charts and recommenders". However when you buy it and hit translate, it only translates the buttons and header.
- Content inside the size guide is not translated
- Shopify's native "Translate & Adapt" can't touch it
- Support told me you can't create per-locale Size guides, so there's no workaround
Their recommendation was to use another $40/mo translation app.
Thank you for laying this out so clearly. We’re sorry the translation feature did not meet what you expected, especially around size guide content and per-locale guides.
Our management team has followed up with you directly to review the situation, clarify the current limitations, and see how we can make this right. We’re also using your feedback to improve how Kiwi explains translation support so merchants have a clearer picture before upgrading.
