Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

app-pricing-strategy scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Shopify App Pricing Strategy

Frontmatter Triggers

  • "How much should I charge for my app?"
  • "What's the best pricing model for my Shopify app?"
  • "Should I do free, freemium, or paid-only?"
  • "How do I price a usage-based app?"
  • "What's the right free trial length?"
  • "How do competitors price similar apps?"
  • "When and how should I raise my prices?"
  • "How do I structure my pricing tiers?"

The Four Proven Pricing Models

1. Flat Tiered (Most Common)

When: 90% of successful Shopify apps use this. Pick it unless you have a reason not to.

How it works:

  • 3–4 fixed price points (e.g., Starter $9.99, Growth $29.99, Scale $99.99)
  • Each tier unlocks fixed feature sets + user/order limits
  • Revenue is completely predictable
  • Easy to communicate

Real Shopify examples:

  • Klaviyo Email Marketing: Free, $20, $50, $150, $500/mo (tier by contact count)
  • Gorgias Help Desk: Free, $50, $150, $400, $1000/mo (tier by conversation volume)
  • Printful Print-on-Demand: Free + rev-share, then flat fees by service tier

Conversion lift by tier:

  • Starter tier: 40–60% of free trial users convert
  • Growth tier: 15–25% of Starter converts to Growth
  • Scale tier: 5–10% of Growth converts to Scale

Shopify revenue share and fees:

  • Eligible standard-rate developers keep 100% of the first $1M in lifetime gross app revenue earned since January 1, 2025.
  • Above $1M, Shopify's revenue share is 15% and the developer keeps 85% before other fees and taxes.
  • All billing also has a separate 2.9% processing fee, applicable sales tax, and possible regional fees.
  • Revenue is aggregated across apps and associated developer accounts. Very large developers have separate eligibility rules.

Pro tip: Design tiers so the "sweet spot" (Growth/Scale tier) is your profit engine. Starter should feel limited but functional. Scale should feel unreachable to most but desirable.


2. Usage-Based (For Data/Computation/API Heavy)

When: Your cost to serve grows with merchant activity (emails sent, API calls, storage, image uploads)

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
