Custom Shipping Shopify Apps — Frequently Asked Questions
1. Which custom shipping app has the highest market share on Shopify?
Appstle℠ Subscriptions App currently holds the highest market share for custom shipping apps at 70.9%, but the category is competitive — ShipX ‑ Shipping Rates & Rules is close behind at 20.0%. The right choice depends on your specific store needs.
2. How is market share calculated for custom shipping Shopify apps?
For custom shipping (a keyword page), market share is rank-weighted — apps at position #1 carry roughly 40× the weight of apps at position #22, and apps beyond #22 are excluded. Each app's weighted score is divided by the total weighted score across the keyword to give the share %. This reflects Shopify search behaviour: most installs come from the top of the results.
3. Which custom shipping apps are gaining market share on Shopify?
ShipX ‑ Shipping Rates & Rules is gaining custom shipping app market share fastest this month, up +5.31pp versus 30 days ago. Switch the table sub-tab to "Market Share Changes" to see all gainers ordered by movement.

6. How many custom shipping apps does ShopDigest track on Shopify?
ShopDigest tracks 96 custom shipping apps on the Shopify App Store. Market share, rankings, and review data refresh weekly so you can track competitive shifts as they happen.
7. Why does the highest-share custom shipping app differ from the #1 ranked app?
Rank reflects an app's current position in the Shopify App Store under custom shipping (driven by Shopify's own algorithm), while market share on ShopDigest is estimated from review counts and other factors as a proxy for active installs. The two metrics move on independent dynamics, so the highest-share app and the #1-ranked app are not always the same — and a divergence between them is worth noting rather than assuming one will pull the other along. For custom shipping, Appstle℠ Subscriptions App leads on share; see the rankings tab for who currently holds #1 position.
