Pricing and sales fees
Plobal is listed from about $99/month, and some plans include fees on sales made in the app. Fees on sales are worth modelling: at $40,000 a month of app revenue, a 1% fee adds $400 a month to the subscription. Casa charges a flat monthly plan to publish, with no fees on sales, and nothing until you publish.
Self-serve vs managed
If you'd rather hand the app to a team, Plobal's managed approach suits you. If you'd rather build it yourself in an afternoon and change it whenever you like, Casa's builder is in your Shopify admin with a live preview, and design changes go live without a new app release. Casa still handles the parts merchants don't want to: our team submits your app to both stores.
