Merchants highly recommend this backup service for its reliability and seamless operation, praising its user-friendly interface and effective data restoration capabilities. They appreciate the responsive and professional customer support, especially during critical situations. The app is valued for providing security and peace of mind, particularly for businesses managing multiple stores, with many referring to it as a "lifesaver" in data loss scenarios.

I do not recommend this app. It no longer backs up inventory tracking quantities, so when you restore listings in Shopify, all items are returned as untracked inventory.
Rewind informed me that due to Shopify’s API limitations, they’re unable to properly track inventory quantities within listings. This means that if you need to restore products you accidentally deleted, you still have to manually re-enable inventory tracking for each item and physically recount and re-enter all stock quantities.
Given the high price point, the app doesn’t offer nearly enough time savings or functionality to justify the cost.
Bad app. They more than doubled the price without any warning !!! Shady Shady way of running a business. Was difficult to unsubscribe. Not any guide on their site how to do it. No humans at their chat service. Regrets to have subscribed for more than a year with this company. With the help of Shopify AI I could finally cancel the subscription uninstalling this app.
Terrible experience with Rewind
I’ve had this app for over 4 years and honestly, it’s been nothing but disappointing.
In all that time, I only needed to use it once—and it failed completely. Their response? An apology and two months of free credit, which didn’t come close to covering the huge amount of work we lost.
To make matters worse, they quietly increased the subscription from $3 to $19 without ever notifying us. We ended up paying this massive price hike without even knowing.
On top of that, the app is full of bugs. Just yesterday, our store (surface-2-air-sports.myshopify.com) couldn’t even connect because of an ERR_BLOCKED_BY_RESPONSE error.
Bottom line: Do not waste your money on Rewind. It’s unreliable, overpriced, and not worth the risk.
We’re sorry to see you go. We remember your case and appreciate you working with us as we escalated to engineering to understand the intricacies and find a solution.
We know price increases sting. This was our first such adjustment in many years and we did build communications around it so that it wouldn't come as a shock. Whatever the case, we wish you well, and strongly encourage you to keep a backup and recovery solution in place—even if it isn’t Rewind.
We recently required support for a highly complex technical issue. The service we received was exceptional in every regard. The team was immediately available for a call to diagnose the situation, demonstrating a high level of responsiveness and expertise.
Most impressively, they developed a custom solution to address our specific requirements, a gesture that far exceeded our expectations. The implementation was flawless and resolved our issue completely and efficiently.
This level of dedication and technical capability is rare. We are thoroughly impressed and grateful for their outstanding support. A truly five-star experience.
I would strongly caution anyone considering this app. After years of paying for their service, I discovered I had been overcharged more than 50% above the publicly listed plan price for nearly 80 months. The company never informed me of this “silent” price change, and when I raised the issue, they insisted it was correct — despite their own archived website and Shopify App Store listings proving otherwise.
To make matters worse, they recently announced yet another price increase, even though the first one was never communicated transparently. Their explanations shifted, citing plans that simply never existed, which only undermines confidence further.
This kind of billing practice feels dishonest and predatory, especially toward long-time customers who trusted them. After this experience, my trust in this company is completely gone. There are other backup apps available on Shopify that offer the same features at the advertised prices — I’d recommend exploring those instead.
We're sorry for your frustration. To clarify, this is the first price adjustment in many years and we communicated it clearly. We have not raised prices silently. Ever. That's not how we operate.
If we can clarify anything further, please reply to our email.
This app has saved us BIG TIME on at least two occasions. The restore process is delightfully easy. Fantastic app. Can't recommend it enough.
The only time I ever needed to revert to a back-up due to a coding mix-up, I learned it was not automatic and I needed to contact someone to do it. With response times taking 2 days each time, it was quite frustrating. You can imagine, when you need to revert your website due to a coding error, you want it to revert asap. I ended up just hiring a coder to fix it. That said, I decided to continue using the app as a fail-safe, just in case. However, with their recent announcement that they are taking a *100%* price increase (yes, 100%) next month, I am moving on to another backup app. I get the cost of business is going up, but for an app with no COGs, no Tariffs, etc, a 100% increase is ridiculous. Bye bye.
We’re sorry this didn’t go as quickly as you needed. Rewind backs up and restores themes—including .liquid code—and in most stores, recovery is automated, requiring just a few clicks. In some cases, custom code and ongoing code changes can make an automated rollback more involved. In these cases, we aim to move fast to help. If we missed the mark here, we apologize.
We migrated from Bigcommerce to Shopify. Since we migrated over a large number of order, there we some questions about fees. Stephan helped me get everything sorted out. We used Rewind on our Bigcommerce store and we are thrilled to be able to continue to use Rewind with Shopify. Great support. Very helpful!!
There are other better options. Some of our SKUs got corrupted due to an incorrect file upload. The back-up restore feature did not work.When we contacted support, there was no response. When they need to increase your plan and charge more money, they seem to have enough resources for that. This app has proved to be useless to us. Find someone else.
We’re sorry we didn’t meet your expectations. We know how frustrating it is when things don’t go as planned. There are always edge cases and restoring data after complex updates can sometimes require extra context from the team involved. We’ll use the experience to keep improving how we support our customers.
We’ve been using Rewind Backups for about a month, and it’s been a great experience so far. We accidentally uploaded a SKU spreadsheet to the wrong store, but thanks to Rewind we were able to quickly revert and avoid any issues.
