What we keep on Pro, and why
Four capabilities sit on the $9.99 tier. They are the ones with a running cost behind them, and they are the only gaps against the apps above.
- EU VAT validationPro
- File upload on formPro
- Age verification gatePro
- Country / IP rulesPro
Everything else, including checkout enforcement, unlimited locks, the registration form and the approval queue, is free and stays free for your store.

The obvious objection
Why trust an app that launched this year?
We have no review count and no Built for Shopify badge. Both are earned over time and we have not earned them yet. Here is what we can point at instead, all of it checkable in about five minutes.
The promise is in the contract
Whatever is free on the day you install stays free for your store. That is a clause in our terms of service, not a line on a landing page, and the clause states what it survives: price rises, plan restructures and new paid tiers.
Read the clauseSupport answers in 24 hours, on the free plan
Not a paid add-on and not a tier. If a wholesale customer is stuck behind a gate, you write to a real address and a person replies within a day, whether you pay us anything or not.
Contact the teamAspedan runs two other Shopify apps
Discount Prime for volume and B2B pricing, and Prime MOQ for order rules. Same team, same conventions, both in production. Open them and judge the work for yourself.
Leaving costs you nothing
One app embed, with no Liquid written into your theme. Uninstall and your theme is exactly as it was, and your customer tags stay on the customer records, because they belong to Shopify rather than to us.
How the app embed worksIn a year we would rather you judged us on the review count. Today, judge us on the terms.
Capability analysis
What the category actually publishes
13 of the 20 capabilities we track are published by fewer than half the apps we looked at. Hiding a price is table stakes, because every app here does it. What separates them is what happens after the price is hidden.

How we gathered this
All figures come from each app's public Shopify App Store listing, read on 30 July 2026. Capabilities are recorded only when the app publishes them. Where a row reads “Not listed”, it means the capability is not published on that app's App Store page, not that it does not exist.
Ratings, review counts and prices change; we re-verify quarterly. Wholesale Gorilla was excluded because it is no longer on the App Store.
If we have something wrong about your app, email support@primelock.app and we will fix it and re-date the page.
Decide who gets to see your store.
Early access opens with the free plan. Unlimited locks, enforced at checkout.
No newsletter. One email when Prime Lock is live.
