6 Swym Wishlist Plus alternatives for Shopify in 2026

This guide is for Shopify merchants who pay for Swym Wishlist Plus, or are weighing it, and want to know what else can do the job for less money or with less hassle. We compared six alternatives on price, alerts, integrations, reviews and Built for Shopify status.

Quick answer: Hulk AI Wishlist & Favorites is the strongest Swym Wishlist Plus alternative for most stores, with a 4.9 rating from 141 reviews, the Built for Shopify badge, a free plan, and price drop and back in stock alerts with Klaviyo from $9.90 a month.

Why merchants look for Swym Wishlist Plus alternatives

Merchants look for Swym Wishlist Plus alternatives mainly because of price and plan quotas, which came up in 7 of the 15 low-star reviews we read. Swym Wishlist Plus has no free plan, starts at $29.99 a month for 3,000 wishlist actions, and puts the Klaviyo, Omnisend and Attentive integrations on the $59.99 Pro plan.

The themes in the low-star reviews were:

• Price, quotas and plan changes (7 of 15): costs rising with traffic, a plan changed without notice, quota limits that were not made clear, and having to move to the $99.99 plan for a small styling change.
• Installing or removing it (3 of 15): an install on an old theme that broke the site, an icon that could not be removed, and leftover code that was hard to clean up.
• Wishlist and alert behavior (3 of 15): shoppers unable to delete items, items disappearing from lists over time, and back in stock emails going only to people who saved the item in the last 30 days.
• Slow or repetitive support (3 of 15).
• Confusing or broken admin screens (2 of 15).
• Too little do-it-yourself customization (2 of 15, both older reviews): merchants needed support to change copy, email styling or the Klaviyo setup.

To be fair to Swym Wishlist Plus, those complaints sit against a strong record. It holds a 4.7 rating from 1,478 reviews, far more than any other wishlist app, and only 3% of ratings are one star. Recent positive reviews praise its effect on sales, multiple lists and sharing, the price drop and back in stock alerts, the Klaviyo connection, and fast, hands-on support. It also has the widest integration list in this group (Klaviyo, Attentive, Omnisend, Listrak, Bloomreach, HubSpot and more), gift, in-store and online registries, Shopify POS access, Shopify Sidekick support and a Customer Accounts extension.

One thing it lacks: the Built for Shopify badge, which every alternative below except our own app carries.

If you rely on Attentive, Listrak, Bloomreach or HubSpot, run registries, or need the REST API and JavaScript SDK on the Premium plan, staying on Swym Wishlist Plus is a reasonable choice.

Swym Wishlist Plus alternatives compared

Swym Wishlist Plus alternatives range from free apps to usage-priced custom builds, and most of them cost less than Swym's $29.99 entry plan.

How we compared: we read each app's Shopify App Store listing, and the low-star reviews of Swym Wishlist Plus, in November 2026. Prices and ratings can change, so check each listing before you install.

The alternatives in detail

Hulk AI Wishlist & Favorites

Hulk AI Wishlist & Favorites covers most of what Swym Wishlist Plus does at a much lower price, including gift registries, multiple shareable wishlists and POS. It is by HulkApps, holds a 4.9 rating from 141 reviews and has the Built for Shopify badge.

What it does differently: it has a free plan, and price drop and back in stock alerts start at $9.90 a month instead of $29.99. Klaviyo, Mailchimp, Omnisend and Shopify Flow are on that $9.90 plan, where Swym puts Klaviyo on its $59.99 plan. It also sends low stock emails, reports the revenue wishlists bring in, offers AI product recommendations and supports 20 languages.

Pricing: Free (500 wishlist items a month, guest wishlists, sharing, AI recommendations). Growth $9.90/month (5,000 items, alerts, multiple wishlists, Klaviyo, Mailchimp, Omnisend, Flow). Pro $24.90/month (25,000 items, advanced reports, Google Sheets export, Zapier, POS). Scale $49.90/month (unlimited items, API, priority support). 30-day free trial. The listing also showed a Black Friday offer on the first three months; check the listing for current terms.

Best for: stores that want a free start, cheap alerts and registries.

Watch out for: every plan caps wishlist items, and POS support starts on the $24.90 Pro plan. It lists fewer integrations than Swym.

Swish ‑ Wishlist & Accounts

Swish ‑ Wishlist & Accounts is the strongest Swym Wishlist Plus alternative for larger or design-led brands that want a fully custom wishlist set up for them. It is by Swish, holds a 5.0 rating from 290 reviews and has the Built for Shopify badge.

What it does differently: every plan gets the full feature set, free setup and customization, and unlimited wishlists, so you do not upgrade to unlock a feature. It adds a shopper hub and customer accounts area, wishlist curation, advanced analytics, save from cart, and back in stock and price alerts. It lists 15+ integrations, including Klaviyo, Omnisend and Attentive, and works with Hydrogen, custom mobile apps, Markets and B2B.

Pricing: Starter $19/month (10,000 website sessions included, then $0.001 per session). Growth $79/month (100,000 sessions, then $0.0008 per session). Scale $499/month (500,000 sessions, then $0.0005 per session, white-glove customization and custom integrations). 30-day free trial.

Best for: larger or design-led brands that want a custom wishlist without building it themselves.

Watch out for: usage fees per website session mean the bill grows with traffic, which is the same complaint several Swym reviewers raised. It is English only.

SE Wishlist Engine

SE Wishlist Engine is a budget Swym Wishlist Plus alternative that sends reminder, price drop, restock and low stock emails for $14.99 a month, about half of Swym's entry price. It is by Script Engine, holds a 4.8 rating from 277 reviews and has the Built for Shopify badge.

What it does differently: it has a free plan, guest wishlists with no login, reports on the most saved products and who saved them, product recommendations, and import and export on the Advanced plan. It works with Klaviyo, Shopify Flow and PageFly.

Pricing: Free (up to 100 wishlist items, social sharing, basic insights). Basic $7.99/month (unlimited wishlist, branding removed). Advanced $14.99/month (all alerts, import and export, Facebook pixel and Klaviyo). Premium $21.99/month (multiple languages and currencies, emails in several languages). 5-day free trial.

Best for: budget-minded stores that want wishlist alerts for under $15 a month.

Watch out for: every alert needs the $14.99 Advanced plan or higher, multiple languages need Premium, and it lists fewer integrations than Swym. The free trial is only 5 days.

WC Wishlist & Back in Stock

WC Wishlist & Back in Stock includes back in stock, price drop and restock alerts on every plan, starting at $4.99 a month. It is by WebContrive LLP, holds a 4.8 rating from 195 reviews and has the Built for Shopify badge.

What it does differently: plans run from $4.99 to $24.99 against $29.99 to $99.99 for Swym, and are priced by email volume rather than wishlist actions. Unlimited, guest and multiple wishlists and save for later come on every plan, along with CSV import and export, automated reminders and advanced analytics. It works with Shopify Flow, customer accounts and Shopify Markets, in 10 languages.

Pricing: Basic $4.99/month (500 email notifications). Pro $9.99/month (2,000). Advance $14.99/month (5,000). Enterprise $24.99/month (10,000, headless and API, Klaviyo, Mailchimp and Meta ads retargeting, AI email templates, priority support). 14-day free trial. No free plan.

Best for: stores that want alerts on the cheapest plan and pricing tied to email volume.

Watch out for: Klaviyo, Mailchimp and Meta retargeting are only on the $24.99 Enterprise plan, and every plan caps email notifications.

Wishlist by Square

Wishlist by Square is a free, simple Swym Wishlist Plus alternative for stores that only need a save button and a wishlist page, not alerts. It is by Square Apps, holds a 5.0 rating from 95 reviews on its listing (all five star) and has the Built for Shopify badge.

What it does differently: it is free with no paid plans. It adds a one-click button near Add to Cart, works without customer accounts, gives shoppers a wishlist page where they can add items to the cart, and lets you change text, colors, icons and placement. It reports on saved products, wishlist value and shopper interest, in 16 languages.

Pricing: Free.

Best for: stores that just want a free, simple wishlist.

Watch out for: the listing mentions no price drop or back in stock alerts and no email or Klaviyo integration, so it does not replace Swym's alert emails.

Themivo Wishlist & Alerts

Disclosure: we make this app.

Themivo Wishlist & Alerts is a free Swym Wishlist Plus alternative that includes back in stock, price drop, low stock and reminder emails, but it is new and has little review history. It is by Themivo and does not have the Built for Shopify badge.

What it does differently: alerts, sharing and POS support come at no cost, where Swym starts at $29.99 a month. Guest wishlists carry over when the shopper signs in. Alerts go out directly or through Klaviyo, Omnisend or Shopify Flow. Reports show the most saved products and the orders that came from a wishlist, and you style the wishlist button to match your theme in a live preview.

Pricing: Free (no paid plans listed).

Best for: stores that want wishlist alerts with Klaviyo or Omnisend without a monthly fee, and are comfortable with a newer app.

Watch out for: it launched in October 2026, so it has few or no reviews; check the listing for the current count. Its listed features do not include gift registries or multiple lists, which Swym has, and it is focused on wishlists and alerts, not a full email marketing tool.

Is Swym Wishlist Plus Built for Shopify?

Swym Wishlist Plus does not show the Built for Shopify badge on its listing. Hulk AI Wishlist & Favorites, Swish ‑ Wishlist & Accounts, SE Wishlist Engine, WC Wishlist & Back in Stock and Wishlist by Square all have the badge.

Will my shoppers' wishlists carry over if I switch apps?

Whether wishlists carry over depends on what Swym Wishlist Plus lets you export and what the new app can import, so check both before you switch. SE Wishlist Engine (on its Advanced plan) and WC Wishlist & Back in Stock list import and export, which helps if you can get a file out of Swym. Ask Swym support what export is available on your plan.

Before you switch

Before you switch from Swym Wishlist Plus, plan the move so shoppers do not lose saved items or alerts.

1. Install the new app on a duplicate or development theme first, and check the wishlist button, wishlist page and mobile layout before you publish.
2. Ask Swym support what wishlist and subscriber data you can export, and confirm the new app can import it.
3. Compare total cost at your real volume: wishlist actions for Swym, sessions for Swish, orders for Growave, items for Hulk and emails for WC.
4. Check that your email or SMS tool is supported on the plan you would actually buy, not just on the top plan.
5. If you also run Swym Back in Stock Alerts, decide whether your new wishlist app's restock emails replace it or whether you keep a separate back in stock app. Our Amp vs Notify back in stock comparison covers that choice.
6. After uninstalling Swym Wishlist Plus, check your live theme for leftover icons or code, since a few reviewers reported this.
