Shopify app comparison · 2026

BIG vs
FetchApp.

FetchApp offers inexpensive delivery tiers with unlimited paid-plan orders and bandwidth. Its entry storage allowances are small, so file size and whether you already host files elsewhere matter much more than the starting price.

The decision in a minute

Which one fits your store?

BIG Digital DownloadsChoose BIG when

Your Shopify delivery workflow comes first.

BIG Starter includes 15 GB of hosted storage for $9.99. That is a useful fit when you want to host a real catalogue in the app, rather than managing an external storage service or choosing a higher storage tier.

Small catalogues and external storage.

Choose FetchApp if you have a tiny catalogue, already use external hosting, or want its cross-platform delivery workflow. Paid unlimited bandwidth can be valuable for popular small files.

Illustrative capacity comparisons, not like-for-like feature bundles. Annual revenue is used where a provider gates plans on revenue. These examples do not require streaming, subscriptions or API access.

Before deciding

FetchApp’s $10 plan lists the option to use your own storage. External storage costs and configuration are separate. More storage tiers exist beyond the four shown on Shopify, so request current pricing for larger catalogues.

Make a clean switch

Test the journey, then migrate.

01

Map what you sell

Export your products, orders and keys where supported. Match each file to the correct product and variant. Keep an independent backup.

02

Test a real purchase

Check email delivery, mobile download, PDF stamping and a previous customer’s access. Try the exact custom or scheduled workflow you intend to use.

03

Switch deliberately

Disable duplicate delivery messages once tests pass. Monitor support requests and bandwidth during the first campaign. Keep the source app until access is verified.

How we compare

Published by BIG Digital Downloads. Public product and pricing information reviewed on 22 September 2026; this is not an independent hands-on test. Monthly USD prices before tax, Shopify subscription fees and payment processing. Promotions and annual discounts excluded. A check means the source documents the capability; a dash means it is not stated, not that it is impossible.
