UpCart alternatives: 5 cart drawer apps compared

UpCart is one of the most popular cart drawers on Shopify. If its order-based pricing or feature set isn't right for you, here's what else to consider.

Key takeaways

  • UpCart is Built for Shopify, highly customizable, and starts at $29.99/month for up to 200 orders.
  • Monster Cart and iCart offer free tiers for low order volumes.
  • Rebuy Smart Cart fits larger brands that want AI personalization across the whole funnel.
  • Amose includes a cart drawer, bundles and post-purchase in its $14.99 Starter plan.

What UpCart does well

UpCart (by Rokt) has the Built for Shopify badge. It includes upsells, add-ons, a rewards bar, announcements and custom HTML, CSS and JSX templates. Paid plans start at $29.99/month for up to 200 monthly orders, then $34.99 and $54.99 as you grow, with a 14-day trial.

The main reasons merchants compare alternatives: the price for small stores, and the need for separate apps for product page bundles and post-purchase offers.

Prices come from each app's Shopify App Store listing, checked in October 2026. They change often, so check the listing before you install.

1. Amose Bundle, Cart & Upsell

The Amose cart drawer includes a progress bar with free shipping and gift milestones, upsells, a reservation timer, a toggle upsell (for example shipping protection), trust badges, payment icons and more than 20 design options. Because the same app runs your product page bundles and post-purchase offers, they share one design and one set of rules.

Amose pricing: free plan up to $100 of additional revenue (bundles, free gifts, progressive gifts, upsells, swatches). Starter at $14.99/month up to $1,000 of additional revenue, adding the cart drawer, post-purchase upsells, translations and personal support. $29.99/month for unlimited revenue. 3-day free trial.

Where it falls short: no custom JSX templates.

2. Monster Cart

Monster Cart combines a slide cart with progress bar rewards (free gifts, free shipping, store credit), one-tick upsells for shipping protection and warranties, and product page volume discounts. Free up to 50 orders, then plans from $9.99/month, with free design customization by their team. English only.

3. iCart

iCart lets you choose between a slide cart drawer, a popup and a full cart page, with AI upsells, a multi-tier progress bar, bundles, volume discounts and a countdown timer. It has a free tier for your first orders, then order-based plans starting at $9/month.

4. Rebuy Smart Cart

Rebuy's Smart Cart is part of a wider personalization platform: AI recommendations, checkout and post-purchase offers, search and A/B testing. Pricing is modular, you pay for the packages you use. It's powerful, and best suited to brands with the traffic and team to use it fully.

5. AfterSell

AfterSell is known for post-purchase, but its $59.99/month pre-purchase plan adds AI cart building, drag-and-drop blocks, reward bars and free gifts. A good fit if checkout and thank-you page offers are your priority.

How to choose a cart drawer

  • Count your orders. Order-based plans get expensive as you grow, revenue-based plans grow with the results.
  • Check the mobile experience. Most carts are opened on a phone.
  • Check compatibility with your bundle, subscription and gift apps, or pick one app that does all three.
