Trying to decide between Zipify OneClickUpsell and AfterSell? Here’s a comprehensive guide that compares their features, price, customer support, and app integrations to help you choose the best upsell app for your Shopify store.
Trusted by over 15,000 of Brands.
Feature Checklist
If you’re looking for the best upsell app for your Shopify store, you can see pretty immediately from this checklist that OneClickUpsell has many more offer types and targeting features than AfterSell.
This is important for ecommerce sellers because, generally speaking, the more upsells you can offer, the more revenue you can make — especially when those upsells are put in front of the right people. But let’s go a little deeper because even though checklists are fun to look at, they can’t tell you the full story.

8 Key Differences
We did an in-depth comparison of both apps, and here are the 8 most important differences we found between Zipify OneClickUpsell and AfterSell:
OCU Maximizes Upsell Revenue
OCU adds upsells across your entire customer journey from pre-purchase to post-purchase, but AfterSell only gives post-purchase upsells which greatly reduces how much upsell revenue you can make.
OCU Includes Free Cart Drawer
OCU includes this shopping cart replacement for free with our unlimited plan. AfterSell’s cart drawer is a separate app called UpCart that they charge extra for, and it costs you $14.99–$199/mo.
OCU Has All-In-One Pricing
OCU gives you more upsells features plus unlimited orders for a flat price while AfterSell charges separately for each feature: shopping cart upsells cost an extra $14.99–$199/mo. and in-checkout upsells are $99/mo. Both are included with OCU at no additional cost.
AfterSell Charges By The Order
With OCU, the cost only increases when you make more upsell revenue, but with AfterSell the cost increases based on your total order volume, whether your orders include an upsell or not.
OCU Has More Pre-Purchase Upsells
You can add pre-purchase upsells directly on your native Shopify product page with a customizable buy box widget and a pre-purchase popup, two significant revenue drivers that are missing in AfterSell.
OCU Has Shop App Upsells
OCU is the only upsell app that lets you offer upsells on Shopify’s Shop app, an exclusive feature that’s not available with AfterSell or any other tool.
AfterSell Is Not Shopify Plus Certified
With OCU, the cost only increases when you make more upsell revenue, but with AfterSell the cost increases based on your total order volume, whether your orders include an upsell or not.
OCU Is Designed By Shopify Merchants
You can add pre-purchase upsells directly on your native Shopify product page with a customizable buy box widget and a pre-purchase popup, two significant revenue drivers that are missing in AfterSell.
I love how easy to use OCU is. I’ve been using it years ago before the integration with Shopify, and now with the integration, it’s a night-and-day difference. It’s basically turn-key. Just flipped the switch on, and we’re immediately generating extra revenue. Also, the support is world-class. Very responsive and helpful. Thank you guys!
— ANSON BELT & BUCKLE, US
We just downloaded this app because our other upsell app has limited functionality. After the first couple of days we are already seeing a 2-3x increase in upsells which is amazing. I have no doubt over time, with more testing we will be able (to) improve upon these early successes. This app is a no brainer if you have up or cross sell products.
— KENNEDY BLUE
OCU has been a god send! My AOV has gone up 20% since I started using it. It's so easy to set up. Everything just works. I can focus on marketing instead of tech stuff. I love it. Thanks!
— DAVE P.
OCU Is an incredible app. It has increased our average order value by nearly 2x. It’s easy and intuitive to set up, a real no brainer if you are selling on Shopify!
— SIMON C.
Outstanding app. INSTANTLY Added an extra $6,000 (or 10%) in revenue during our first month! PLUS - Zipify has one of the BEST customer support teams I've ever encountered. Always there to help, always willing to go the extra mile.

A Comprehensive Feature Comparison
When it comes to choosing between OneClickUpsell and AfterSell, the most important difference is that OneClickUpsell adds upsells across your entire customer journey and AfterSell only offers upsells after a customer’s initial purchase or in the shopping cart if you also purchase UpCart.
Even though AfterSell promises on their sales page that you can “upsell throughout the customer journey,” the truth is you can’t because AfterSell is missing these 3 key upsells.
3 Upsell Features that AfterSell doesn't have
With OCU, you can add a custom product page widget that lets you offer up to 8 upsells on your native Shopify Product Page. Customers can scroll through your products, select different variant combinations, and even create their own bundles with a single click by toggling items in and out of their cart.
This pre-purchase popup can appear on your Product Page or Cart page, and it’s an easy way to get customers to add extra items to their cart. You can offer up to 5 upsells and use interactive discounts and free shipping to incentivize shoppers to spend more money.
OCU is the first and only upsell app on the market that lets you add Thank You page upsells on Shopify’s popular Shop app. As the only post-purchase upsell app allowed on Shop app, OCU gives you a new revenue stream and a significant competitive advantage at no additional cost.
OCU Was Designed By Shopify Merchants
With OneClickUpsell, you also benefit from upsell funnels and digital marketing strategies that have been proven on one of the biggest Shopify stores in the world.
OneClickUpsell’s CEO, Ezra Firestone, is the owner and operator of multiple 7, 8 and 9-figure ecommerce businesses, including one of the largest Shopify stores in the world, Boom by Cindy Joseph. We use our first-hand experience building multi-million dollar brands to design products that are uniquely merchant-focused and high-performing.
With OneClickUpsell you can copy the same funnels and digital marketing strategies that have made Boom by Cindy Joseph over $5 million+ in additional upsell revenue.

You can also copy the funnels that increased average order value by 50% at Overtone, another one of Ezra’s 8-figure Shopify stores.
Over 15,000 Shopify stores use OneClickUpsell, including 2,000 Shopify Plus stores because it helps them accomplish two important things: increase their AOV and increase their revenue.
And OCU’s first-hand expertise as Shopify merchants is what allows us to build a product that makes it easy for them to accomplish both.
Price Comparison Example
Here’s how much you would pay with both apps if your store did 500 orders and generated $900 in extra upsell revenue in one month:
AfterSell:
USD 64.98 / month
AfterSell’s price is based on total orders for both upsell apps, so the monthly price of AfterSell is $64.98 ($29.99 for post-purchase upsells + $34.99 for the shopping cart upsell).
OneClickUpsell:
USD 44 / month
OneClickUpsell’s charges a flat fee for unlimited orders plus 1% of upsell revenue, so you only pay $44 for the month ($35 subscription + $9 in upsell revenue).
In this example, AfterSell actually costs 47% more than OCU, and you’re paying for fewer features. Use cases like these are why OneClickUpsell has an average return on investment (ROI) of 30x.
OneClickUpsell Only Charges You For Upsell Revenue
On the other hand, OneClickUpsell includes unlimited orders at every price tier and charges 1% of upsell revenue instead so you don’t pay extra just because you have a high-volume store.
This pricing model ensures that merchants only pay for the value the app provides.
Why OCU is a better deal than AfterSell
The starting price of AfterSell may be cheaper for some low-volume stores, but before you make a decision based solely on price, consider the extra sales you could lose from AfterSell.
For most businesses, the extra revenue you make with OneClickUpsell’s pre-purchase upsells will be much more than the $28/mo you save by choosing AfterSell’s limited feature set.
Most OCU merchants see a 16% increase in total revenue immediately after installing the app, and our pricing plans are structured to give every user a 3.5x - 410x ROI on the cost of their subscription.
Check out the following reviews for the real proof that OCU’s pre-purchase upsells are worth far more to Shopify merchants than the relatively small difference in cost.
Amazing app guys!! Their pre-purchase upsell is definitely worth it. You will get so much more revenue just by the pre-purchase feature. Ezra is also constantly making videos and giving a lot of hints on how to get bigger AOV and CVR. Really Amazing.

Comparing Customer Support
Both OneClickUpsell and AfterSell are recognized by Shopify for their excellent and speedy customer service, so there isn’t a significant difference there.
However, OneClickUpsell has been a leading upsell app since 2016, so their in-house support team has more years of experience on the Shopify platform and a longer track record of success.
That experience is important when your money’s on the line and you need a quick solution.
And for OCU Plus merchants, OneClickUpsell also offers concierge account management and ongoing optimization, and AfterSell does not.
This exclusive customer support feature adds 20% to your AOV, on average.
And to prove it, here’s what OneClickUpsell users have said about the customer support they received:
I recently contacted customer service and was absolutely blown away by the level of care and attention I received. The representative I spoke with was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and went above and beyond to ensure that all of my concerns were addressed. Their exceptional service has made me a loyal customer for life. Thank You!

Comparing Shopify Integrations
OCU is a Shopify Plus Certified App and AfterSell is not.
For an app to become Shopify Plus Certified App it requires rigorous testing by Shopify. This certification ensures the app’s technology works seamlessly with their platform, so it’s safe and reliable for their highest-end stores.
Less than 150 apps in total have earned this certification, and it’s a stamp of approval from Shopify that OneClickUpsell’s is designed to “reduce complexity in your business so you can focus on growth”.
So whether you’re on Shopify Plus or you just want the most reliable upsell app for your Shopify store, OneClickUpsell is a better choice than AfterSell.
OneClickUpsell Integrates With Shopify’s Shop App
OneClickUpsell is the only upsell app on the market that integrates with the Shop app. That means OCU users are the only merchants on Shopify who can offer post-purchase upsells to the app’s 100 million users.
In fact, Shopify asked OneClickUpsell to develop the new upsell integration for their Shop app instead of AfterSell or any other app developer because of OCU’s exceptional performance.
OneClickUpsell users get this Shop integration for free, and it gives your business a clear competitive advantage by unlocking a brand new revenue source you can use to scale your store.
If you aren’t familiar with the Shop app yet — it’s Shopify’s new mobile shopping app for iOS and Android. Shopify created Shop to compete with Amazon and they’re calling it the future of the Shopify platform. That’s why this integration is such a big deal for Shopify merchants.

Conclusion: Which App Is The Best?
After comparing both upsell apps, we found that OneClickUpsell is the best choice for most Shopify merchants in 2024.
Only OneClickUpsell includes the pre-purchase upsells, product page upsells, and Shop app upsells you need to maximize upsell revenue throughout your entire customer journey. By comparison, AfterSell by comparison is critically limited in what upsells you can offer and where.
OneClickUpsell is also the cheaper option in many cases because you don’t need to purchase a second UpCart app for shopping cart upsells and the price of OCU doesn’t increase based on your total order volume. However, if you’re looking for a drawer cart feature or if you only want an upsell app that adds post-purchase upsells, then AfterSell may be the cheapest option.
But with all the extra upsell features you get with OCU, you can earn more money in the long run with OneClickUpsell than AfterSell, even if AfterSell costs slightly less.
When you combine these benefits with OCU’s exclusive Shop app integration and it’s status as a reliable Shopify Plus Certified App, it’s clear that OneClickUpsell is the winner here.
