Facts checked July 2026. Both apps change; if something here is out of date, tell us and we will fix it.
Fundpop has been on the Shopify App Store since July 2023, holds a 4.5-star rating across 19 reviews, and simply does more things than Fundcap does today. If you came here expecting a rigged comparison, this is not one. Fundpop wins on track record, on pledge flexibility, and on reward features, and this page says so in plain terms.
Fundcap is the new app in this comparison. It has zero reviews and is built by a single developer. What it offers instead is a different bet: one flat price of $19 per month with no percentage of your raise and no per-order fees, a storefront widget designed to look right without fiddling, and all-or-nothing campaigns where buyers are charged real orders at checkout and automatically refunded if the goal is missed.
Below is a row-by-row breakdown. Every Fundpop number comes from its Shopify App Store listing and its own pricing page as of July 2026. Where Fundpop is better, the row says so.
Side by side
| Fundcap | Fundpop | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | $19 per month flat. No usage fees, no percentage of your raise, no per-order fees. Build campaigns free; the plan starts when you go live.Fundpop's entry price is lower than Fundcap's. The difference shows up when a campaign actually raises money. | Four plans billed every 30 days: Free ($0, development stores only), Standard $9.99, Pro $29.99, Premium $99.99. Every paid tier adds a usage fee on funds raised: 1% on Standard and Pro, 0.5% on Premium, after monthly fee-free thresholds of $1,000, $2,000, and $5,000. |
| Cost on a $10,000 raise | $19. The flat price does not change with raise size.Math assumes the full raise lands inside one 30-day billing cycle, since Fundpop's fee-free thresholds reset monthly. | $99.99 on Standard ($9.99 + 1% of $9,000), $109.99 on Pro ($29.99 + 1% of $8,000), $124.99 on Premium ($99.99 + 0.5% of $5,000). |
| Cost on a $50,000 raise | $19. Same flat plan.Same one-cycle assumption. At this size, Premium's lower percentage makes it Fundpop's cheapest tier. Note Standard also caps campaigns at 5 products. | $499.99 on Standard ($9.99 + 1% of $49,000), $509.99 on Pro ($29.99 + 1% of $48,000), $324.99 on Premium ($99.99 + 0.5% of $45,000). |
| Free trial | 14 days. You can also build and preview campaigns for free indefinitely; billing starts only when you take a campaign live. | 7 days on paid plans. The free plan works on development stores only, so there is no free tier for a live store. |
| Storefront widget and design | Design-first theme app block with 4 presets and any accent color, showing live progress, backer count, and countdown.Fundpop offers more storefront extras and more knobs. Fundcap puts its effort into one widget that looks right out of the box. | Theme app extension with deep style controls (colors, typography, progress bar) and multiple widget templates, plus extras: status badges and progress bars on collection cards, countdown timers, social proof displays, multi-language copy, and currency conversion. |
| Goals and caps | Unit or revenue goals, plus an optional max cap so a campaign can be funded AND capped. Included in the single $19 plan. | Flexible goals by units sold or money raised, unlimited simultaneous campaigns, and draft campaigns. Auto-end at goal is a Premium feature at $99.99 per 30 days. |
| Pledge options, reward tiers, and campaign types | All-or-nothing campaigns, one product each. Buyers are charged at checkout as real Shopify orders, not pledges. No deposits or reward tiers yet; both are on the roadmap.Fundpop wins this row on breadth, and it is not close. If you need deposits, tiers, or multi-product campaigns today, use Fundpop. | All-or-nothing or keep-it-all, partial pledges with fixed or percentage deposits and deferred balance capture, instant full payment, plus pre-order, product drop, and coming-soon modes. Up to 5 products per campaign on Standard and 25 on Premium, with milestones and reward tiers on Pro and above. |
| Refunds when a goal is missed | One-click bulk refunds through Shopify. The promise on every campaign: charged now, automatically refunded if the goal is missed.Both apps automate the refund path. Fundcap's is a single bulk action you trigger, running through Shopify's own refund system, with a backer CSV you can export at any time. | Automated payment capture or refunds based on the campaign outcome. |
| Reviews and track record | Zero reviews. Brand new, single developer, no track record yet, and we will not pretend otherwise.19 reviews over three years is modest social proof, but it is real, checkable, and infinitely more than zero. | 4.5 stars from 19 reviews (13 five-star), live on the App Store since July 2023. Fundpop wins this row outright. |
| Support model | Answered by the founder, the person who wrote the code, in under 24 hours. | Standard support on lower tiers and a dedicated success manager on Premium. One 1-star review alleged slow responses; the developer publicly disputed it, saying replies go out within hours. |
| Who owns the buyer relationship | Backers stay on your store. The brand and the emails belong to you, with backer CSV export included.This row is a tie, and it is the reason both apps exist. | Same philosophy. Fundpop positions itself as a Kickstarter and Indiegogo alternative where you keep 100% of customer data on your own store. |
Which one fits your store?
Choose Fundpop if
- You need deposits or partial pledges. Fundpop can take a fixed or percentage deposit now and capture the balance later. Fundcap charges the full amount at checkout, and deposits are only on its roadmap.
- You want reward tiers, product bundles, early-bird pricing, or stretch goals. Fundpop has all of these on Pro ($29.99 per 30 days) and above. Fundcap has none of them yet.
- You want campaigns with more than one product, or you want pre-orders, limited drops, and coming-soon pages from the same app. Fundcap campaigns are one product each and crowdfunding only.
- You want a verifiable track record before installing anything. 4.5 stars from 19 reviews since July 2023 beats zero reviews, full stop.
Choose Fundcap if
- You want one predictable number. $19 flat with no percentage of the raise and no per-order fees, whether you raise $500 or $50,000. On a $10,000 month, Fundpop's tiers cost $99.99 to $124.99; Fundcap costs $19.
- You want funded AND capped. Fundcap lets you set a goal plus an optional max cap in its one plan, without paying for a $99.99 tier to auto-end at goal.
- You care most about clean money handling. Buyers are charged real orders at checkout, and if the goal is missed you refund everyone in one click through Shopify: charged now, automatically refunded if the goal is missed.
- You want answers from the person who built the app, in under 24 hours, and a widget that looks right in your theme without an evening of tweaking.
Common questions
Which app is actually cheaper?
It depends on the raise. If you raise under $1,000 in a month, Fundpop's Standard plan at $9.99 is cheaper than Fundcap's $19. Once real money moves, the usage fee flips it: a $10,000 month costs $99.99 to $124.99 on Fundpop depending on tier, and $19 on Fundcap. A $50,000 month costs $324.99 to $509.99 on Fundpop, and still $19 on Fundcap.
Do my backers pay upfront on Fundcap?
Yes. Backers are charged at checkout like any Shopify order, so there are no unpaid pledges to chase later. If the campaign misses its goal, you refund everyone in one click through Shopify. The promise shown to every buyer: charged now, automatically refunded if the goal is missed.
Why should I trust an app with zero reviews?
You should not, on faith. Fundcap is brand new and built by one developer, and this page says so plainly. What we can offer is a way to check for yourself: build your campaign for free, take the 14-day trial, and email support, which the founder answers in under 24 hours. If Fundpop's three-year record matters more to you, that is a reasonable choice.
Fundpop is the more capable app today. It has been live since 2023, holds 4.5 stars, and covers ground Fundcap does not: deposits and partial pledges, reward tiers, stretch goals, multi-product campaigns, and pre-order modes. If any of those are on your must-have list, choose Fundpop and do not look back. Fundcap's case is narrower and simpler: one flat $19 price with no cut of your raise, a widget built to look good in your theme from the first click, goals that can be funded AND capped without a premium tier, and support answered by the founder in under 24 hours. If you are running a focused all-or-nothing campaign for a single product and want to know exactly what it will cost before you start, that is the job Fundcap was built for.
