Best wishlist apps for Shopify in 2026: 7 compared

A Shopify wishlist app lets shoppers save products for later, and the better ones email those shoppers when a saved item comes back in stock or drops in price. We compared seven wishlist apps on features, pricing, ratings and Built for Shopify status so you can choose one without trialling them all.

Quick answer: Swish (Wishlist King) is the best-proven pick for most established stores, with a 5.0 rating from 290 reviews and every feature on every plan, while SE Wishlist Engine and Hulk AI Wishlist & Favorites cost less if you only need the core stock and price alerts.

What to look for in a wishlist app

The right Shopify wishlist app saves items for guests, sends stock and price alerts on a plan you can afford, and connects to the email tool you already use.

• Guest wishlists: shoppers should be able to save items without creating an account first.
• Stock and price alerts: back in stock, price drop and low stock emails are where a wishlist turns into sales, and many apps keep them on paid plans.
• Email integrations: if you use Klaviyo or Omnisend, check that alerts can run through it on the plan you will actually pay for.
• How the price scales: some apps charge by your Shopify plan, some by orders, and some by wishlist items or additions per month.
• Reports: a view of the most saved products helps you plan restocks and promotions.
• Track record: rating, review count and Built for Shopify status show how much proof an app has behind it.

Wishlist apps compared

Swish (Wishlist King) has the strongest mix of rating and review count among the seven Shopify wishlist apps here, while Wishlist by Square and Themivo Wishlist & Alerts are the only fully free options.

How we compared: we read each app's Shopify App Store listing in November 2026 and used the rating and review counts shown on the listing pages. We did not read individual reviews for this article. Prices, plans and ratings can change, so check each listing before you install.

The apps in detail

The seven wishlist apps below are ordered by how well they serve most Shopify merchants on the evidence: features, pricing, ratings, review count and Built for Shopify status.

Swish (Wishlist King)

Swish (Wishlist King) is the most complete stand-alone wishlist app in this comparison, and it pairs that with a 5.0 rating from 290 reviews and the Built for Shopify badge. The developer says it is the former Wishlist King, first launched in 2015.

What it does well: every plan includes every feature, plus free setup and customisation. You get guest, public, favorites, save for later and multiple lists, along with price, stock and purchase alerts with email templates. Klaviyo, GA4 and Meta integrations are included, and it works with Hydrogen, Markets, Tapcart and Customer Accounts. Shopify's AI summary of its reviews highlights support, the Klaviyo integration and the stock and price emails.

Pricing: the price follows your Shopify plan: $19/month on Basic, $29/month on Shopify, $49/month on Advanced and $99/month on Shopify Plus, with yearly options and a 30-day free trial. There is no free plan.

Best for: established brands that want a fully customised wishlist set up for them, with Klaviyo-driven stock and price alerts.

Watch out for: you pay more as your Shopify plan goes up, not as your wishlist usage grows. The listing names only English as a language, even though multi-language appears in the feature list.

SE Wishlist Engine

SE Wishlist Engine offers a full set of stock and price alerts at a moderate monthly price, backed by a 4.9 rating from 275 reviews and the Built for Shopify badge.

What it does well: guest wishlists, saving several items at once, and reports on the most saved products and who saved them. Automatic emails cover price drop, restock and low stock. It notices variant changes on the product page and works with Shopify Flow, Klaviyo and PageFly. Registry and public list types are available.

Pricing: a free plan covers up to 100 wishlist items with a wishlist page, popup, social sharing and basic insights. Basic is $7.99/month (unlimited wishlist, no branding), Advanced is $14.99/month (alerts, reminders, recommendations, import and export, Facebook pixel and Klaviyo), and Premium is $21.99/month (multi-language and multi-currency). Yearly prices and a 5-day trial are available.

Best for: mid-size stores that want every alert type without paying Swish (Wishlist King) prices.

Watch out for: all alerts and the Klaviyo integration start on the $14.99 Advanced plan. Multi-language needs the $21.99 Premium plan, and the listing shows English as the only language.

Hulk AI Wishlist & Favorites

Hulk AI Wishlist & Favorites gets you price drop and back in stock alerts from $9.90 a month, the second-lowest entry price for alerts among the paid apps here, with a 4.9 rating from 140 reviews and the Built for Shopify badge.

What it does well: guest, B2B and multiple wishlists, plus gift registries. Alerts cover price drop, low stock and back in stock. AI product recommendations appear on the wishlist page. It works with Klaviyo, Shopify Flow, Zapier, Google Sheets, Meta and GA4, supports POS and is available in 20 languages.

Pricing: free for 500 wishlist items a month, including guest wishlists, sharing and AI recommendations. Growth is $9.90/month (5,000 items, alerts, multiple wishlists, Klaviyo, Mailchimp, Omnisend, Shopify Flow), Pro is $24.90/month (25,000 items, advanced reporting, Zapier, POS) and Scale is $49.90/month (unlimited items, API access). Yearly prices and a 14-day trial are available.

Best for: stores that sell to business buyers or want multiple wishlists and alerts at a mid-range price.

Watch out for: every plan except Scale caps wishlist items per month, and POS support starts on the $24.90 Pro plan.

Growave: Loyalty & Wishlist

Growave: Loyalty & Wishlist is the only app in this list that bundles the wishlist with loyalty points, referrals and product reviews, and it has by far the most reviews: 4.8 from 1,290, with the Built for Shopify badge.

What it does well: guest, multiple, shareable and gift registry lists, with price drop and back in stock alerts. It works with POS, Shopify Flow, Klaviyo, Omnisend and more than 30 other integrations, and it is available in 16 languages.

Pricing: free for 200 orders a month (loyalty points, wishlist and reviews, with Growave branding). Entry is $15/month for 500 orders, Growth is $199/month for 1,500 orders and Plus is $499/month for 3,000 orders, each with extra charges per additional 100 orders. Paid plans have a 14-day trial.

Best for: merchants who want a wishlist as one part of a wider loyalty and reviews programme.

Watch out for: back in stock emails are listed only on the $199 Growth plan, and B2B wishlists only on the $499 Plus plan. Costs rise with order volume, so if you only need a wishlist, a stand-alone app is cheaper.

Wishlist by Square

Wishlist by Square is a completely free, simple wishlist with a 5.0 rating from 138 reviews and the Built for Shopify badge, but its listing shows no alerts.

What it does well: a one-click wishlist button near Add to Cart that works with no setup, no customer accounts required, and add to cart from the wishlist page. You can change the text, colors, icons and placement, and see insights on top saved products, total wishlist value and shopper activity. It is available in 16 languages.

Pricing: free, with no paid plans listed.

Best for: merchants who want a clean saved-items list and do not plan to send stock or price emails.

Watch out for: the listing shows no back in stock, price drop or email alerts, no sharing, and no integrations beyond Shopify Admin.

Wishlist Hero

Wishlist Hero has the cheapest paid entry point for alerts in this comparison at $4 a month, with a 4.7 rating from 423 reviews.

What it does well: automatic install on popular themes with free help for others, guest wishlists with no login, low stock and price drop email reminders, and sharing by email and social media. It supports Klaviyo, GA4, Facebook and TikTok pixel tracking, offers REST and JS APIs, and is available in English, French, Spanish and German with multi-currency.

Pricing: free for up to 500 wishlist additions a month. Silver is $4/month (1,000 additions, Klaviyo, pixels, low stock and on-sale reminders), Gold Plus is $17/month (5,000 additions, SendGrid, Klaviyo and Omnisend, REST API) and Platinum is $29/month (10,000 additions). Paid plans have a 14-day trial.

Best for: budget-minded stores that want alerts and pixel tracking for a few dollars a month.

Watch out for: plans are capped by wishlist additions per month, and email reminders start on the paid Silver plan. The listing does not show the Built for Shopify badge, and about 5% of its ratings are 1-star (23 of 423), the highest share among these apps.

Themivo Wishlist & Alerts

Disclosure: Themivo, our sister studio, makes this app.

Themivo Wishlist & Alerts is the only app in this comparison that includes back in stock, price drop and low stock alerts for free, but it launched in October 2026 and has no reviews yet.

What it does well: guest wishlists that carry over when the shopper signs in, plus back in stock, price drop, low stock and reminder emails for saved products. Alerts can be sent directly or through Klaviyo, Omnisend or Shopify Flow. Reports show the most saved products and orders that came from a wishlist. Wishlist buttons are styled to match the theme in a live preview, and lists are shareable with POS support.

Pricing: free, with no paid plans listed.

Best for: stores that want stock and price alerts without a monthly fee and are comfortable trying a newer app.

Watch out for: with few or no reviews, there is far less proof behind it than behind the other six apps. It focuses on wishlists and stock or price alerts, and it is not a full email marketing tool.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a free wishlist app for Shopify with back in stock alerts?

Themivo Wishlist & Alerts is free and includes back in stock, price drop and low stock emails, though it launched in October 2026 and has no reviews yet. Wishlist by Square is also free but lists no alerts. Growave: Loyalty & Wishlist, Wishlist Hero, SE Wishlist Engine and Hulk AI Wishlist & Favorites all have free plans, but their stock and price alerts start on paid plans.

Which Shopify wishlist apps work with Klaviyo?

Swish (Wishlist King), Growave: Loyalty & Wishlist, Wishlist Hero, SE Wishlist Engine, Hulk AI Wishlist & Favorites and Themivo Wishlist & Alerts all list Klaviyo support. On most of them Klaviyo is tied to a paid plan: Silver ($4/month) on Wishlist Hero, Advanced ($14.99/month) on SE Wishlist Engine and Growth ($9.90/month) on Hulk AI Wishlist & Favorites. Swish (Wishlist King) includes it on every plan, and Themivo Wishlist & Alerts is free.

Can shoppers use a wishlist without creating an account?

Yes, all seven Shopify wishlist apps in this comparison support guest wishlists or saving without a customer account. Themivo Wishlist & Alerts also carries a guest's list over when the shopper signs in. If keeping a list across devices matters to you, check how each app handles guests who later log in.

What happened to Swym Wishlist Plus?

Swym Wishlist Plus was a well-known Shopify wishlist app, but its App Store listing said in November 2026 that the app is not currently available on the Shopify App Store. That is why it is not included here. If you used it before, the apps above with import features, such as Swish (Wishlist King) and SE Wishlist Engine, are worth checking for moving saved lists.

Next step

The next step is to shortlist two Shopify wishlist apps and try them on a duplicate or unpublished copy of your theme before going live. Check which plan includes the alerts and integrations you need, estimate your monthly wishlist items, additions or orders against each app's limits, and use the free trial to see how the button looks on your product pages. Prices and ratings change, so confirm the details on each listing before you commit.
