A sign shop prices by the square foot. The rate drops at 25 signs, a setup fee goes on every order, and no job ships under a minimum. Can Easify price that?
It can do the square-foot part, on a higher plan. The rest of that rate card needs a pricing engine, and that's where Appify Custom Product Options comes in. It prices the whole sheet: rate tables, quantity breaks, fees and a floor on the total, on every plan.
Here is why merchants go looking for an Easify alternative, what to check before you switch, and how the options compare.
Why merchants look for an Easify alternative
Easify does what options apps were built for, and does it well. It puts choices on a product page and adds a price to each one. Fifteen option types on the entry plan, 28 higher up.
Pricing is where it stops. Its formula pricing is a price from measurements: the customer types up to three numbers, and the app multiplies them by your rate. You set that on the dimension option, on a higher plan.
A quantity option can charge per unit, and tiered pricing takes a fixed amount or a percentage off each item. There is no rate table, and no formula that reads the rest of the customer's choices.
So a store that quotes from a real price sheet ends up simplifying the sheet to fit the app. Sizes get rounded and a grid gets flattened into a few tiers.
What advanced pricing actually needs
Before you install the next app, check it against the price sheet you already use. These are the parts that separate a pricing engine from an options list.
- A formula on the final price, not only on one option.
- Your rate sheet as written, read to the row or between rows.
- Quantity breaks that follow the size, so a big sign and a small one get different discounts.
- Fees and a minimum on the job, charged the way you quote them.
- One choice pricing another. Premium vinyl costs more per square foot, not a flat extra.
- A way to see why a price is wrong, before a customer finds it.
1. Appify Custom Product Options
It replaces a list of priced choices with a pricing engine that reads every choice. The customer sees the price update as they build the product, and that price is what they pay at checkout.
Your price sheet, as written
Pricing tables hold your rate sheet in a spreadsheet-style grid: width by height, or size by material. A lookup can match exactly, take the nearest row, or blend between rows for a size you never listed. One table can serve every calculator in your store.
Formulas run on any option and on the total price. They can use if/then logic, named variables, table lookups, and math and rounding functions.
Every rule on your rate card
Quantity breaks that follow the size. A simple ladder by quantity, or a two-way grid where the discount depends on quantity and on width or area. Each break can be a percentage off, an amount off, or a set price per unit.
- Fees. A setup fee on every order, or a rush fee only when Rush is picked. Fixed fees are never discounted.
- Minimum and maximum price on the total, so no job goes out under your floor.
- Price adjustments. Add a percentage when the material is premium, or a flat charge when the area passes a size you set.
- Limits that move. One choice can set another option's value, its range or its step.
You don't build it by hand
Describe your pricing to Chat with AI, or attach the spreadsheet you already use, plus a screenshot for the look. It builds the options, the formulas, the discounts, the rules and the styling. You can edit anything it writes.
When a price comes out wrong, the Troubleshoot tab shows every part of the formula with the preview's choices loaded, names the likely problem, and offers the fix. Or tell Chat with AI the number you expected, and it opens that tab for you.
Every feature is on every plan. No tier to upgrade to when the rate card grows.
Who it's for: any store whose price comes from a sheet, a measurement or a rule. For the setup in depth, see how to set up formula-based pricing on Shopify.
2. SE: Option Price Calculator
You'll meet other names while searching, so here is how they line up. SE: Option Price Calculator is the next most capable formula engine after Appify Custom Product Options. It puts formulas on every option and on the final price, reads pricing tables and lookups, and uses product metafields in formulas.
It also calculates weight by formula, shows and hides options by rule, and offers quantity breaks. Shopify Markets currency and option translation are built in. It's a focused calculator for measurement-based products, and a strong one.
Appify Custom Product Options adds the wider engine around the formula: two-way discounts, fees, minimums, price adjustments, troubleshooting and AI setup.
3. Globo Product Options, Variant
Globo is the other name you'll meet while searching, and it takes the same approach as Easify. Choices with add-on prices, 15 option types on the entry plan and 30 or more at the top.
Its measurement pricing works the same way: up to three typed numbers and your rate, on its top plan. Tiered and volume pricing aren't something its add-ons do.
Where it fits: choice-driven products priced by add-ons. That job lives inside Appify Custom Product Options too, with the pricing engine behind it.
Moving from Easify to Globo is a sideways move on pricing.

Compared September 2026. Apps change, so features may have moved since.
Appify Custom Product Options is a full Yes on all 19 rows. Easify and Globo are a full Yes on none. The rate sheet, every rule on it, the setup and what happens after checkout, in one app with every feature on every plan.
Switching from Easify without starting over
The catalog you already built is the real reason people stay. Here is how the move goes.
- Hand over what you have. Attach your price sheet and a screenshot of a product page as it looks today, and tell Chat with AI what you sell. It drafts the options, the pricing and the look.
- Check it against real orders. The live preview shows the price as you change choices. Put in the sizes from last week's orders and compare.
- Publish when it matches. Nothing reaches the storefront until you publish, so the old setup keeps selling while you test.
- Build it once, reuse it. A global pricing table serves every calculator that reads it, so one rate change updates them all.
For the two most common starting points, see turning your pricing spreadsheet into a Shopify pricing system and building a Shopify product calculator from a screenshot.
How to decide
If your price comes from a sheet, a measurement or a rule, Appify Custom Product Options is the one to install. It prices the whole rate card, not one line of it, and every feature is already on your plan.
If you're weighing the other apps, SE: Option Price Calculator is the next most capable formula engine, and Globo prices the way Easify does. Choosing any of them is choosing fewer features, not different ones.
