Shopney vs Dzine Your App: Which One Should You Use?
Shopney and Dzine Your App both build native iOS and Android apps for Shopify stores, and both charge a flat monthly fee with no commission on your sales. The decision usually comes down to two things: how much of the build you want to do yourself, and which push notifications you get without moving up a tier.
Shopney's Silver plan is $149 a month. Our Starter plan is $99. The more consequential difference is tier placement — Shopney puts abandoned-cart push on Gold at $299 and segmented push on Platinum at $599, while we include abandoned-cart push in Starter. Figures come from both companies' published pricing pages, linked at the end.

The honest pros and cons
Where Dzine Your App wins
- Abandoned-cart push is included in the $99 Starter plan rather than requiring a $299 tier.
- Done-for-you setup on every plan, so you're not building the app alone under a deadline.
- $50/month less at entry, and $700/month less than Shopney's Platinum for segmented push.
- Most brands launch in under 48 hours.
Where Shopney is a fair pick
- In-app live chat is a native Shopney feature; ours depends on a third-party tool.
- A longer track record in the Shopify ecosystem and more public reviews to read.
- A 30-day free trial, considerably longer than our 7 days.
- Annual billing cuts roughly 20% off every tier, which suits teams that can commit upfront.
- Strong theme and merchandising options for teams that want hands-on design control.
The verdict
Shopney is a fair choice if you want native in-app chat, a long evaluation window, or the design control of building it yourself. Its 30-day trial is genuinely generous, and plenty of capable teams prefer the DIY route.
Where we differ most is what you pay to get push notifications working. Recovering abandoned carts is the mechanism by which most mobile apps pay for themselves, and on Shopney that means the $299 Gold plan. On our Starter plan at $99 it is included. If you want segmentation on top, Shopney's Platinum is $599 against our Growth at $199.
The honest caveat: Shopney has been in market longer, has more reviews to read, and its native live chat is a real advantage if support conversations matter to your conversion rate. If those weigh heavily for you, Shopney is a reasonable pick.
Frequently asked questions
- What's the main difference between Shopney and Dzine Your App?
- Setup and tier placement. Shopney is self-build with a flat fee from $149/month, and puts abandoned-cart push on its $299 Gold plan and segmented push on its $599 Platinum plan. Dzine Your App includes done-for-you setup on every plan, starts at $99/month flat, and includes abandoned-cart push in that Starter plan.
- Is Shopney or Dzine Your App cheaper?
- Our Starter plan is $99/month against Shopney's Silver at $149/month. The gap widens for push features: abandoned-cart push costs $299/month on Shopney's Gold plan but is included in our $99 Starter plan. Shopney does offer annual billing at roughly 20% off, which narrows the entry-level gap.
- Does either one take a percentage of my sales?
- No. Both Shopney and Dzine Your App charge flat monthly subscriptions with no commission on sales. Some other builders do — Appmaker adds 1% of in-app sales on top of its monthly fee.
- Do I have to build the app myself with Dzine Your App?
- No. Done-for-you setup is included on every plan at no extra cost. You can still use the no-code editor yourself if you prefer — it's a choice, not a requirement. Shopney expects you to build it, with design assistance reserved for its Enterprise tier.
- How fast can I launch?
- Most brands go live in under 48 hours of build time once their store is connected and the screens are mapped. Apple's app store review queue typically adds a few days on top, and that applies to any builder you choose.
