Kiwi Size Chart & Recommender

We like Kiwi for its easy setup & ability to use our own designed template. It functioned well for us until this spring when something with the design broke within the app. The Kiwi team addressed our issue quickly only once we left a low-rated review. It ended up being a simple adjustment and our size guides are functioning as they once were, but it would have been a better experience had the team advised to update the sizing plugin when we surfaced the issue months ago. We will continue to use this app & hope for better communication if we run into anything again!

Initially things started off positive. The person helping was responsive and tried to help, but when things were not working as planned, things shifted, responses lessened and then just stopped. I would check to see if any updates were happening on the site and things were happening but not for the better, mostly unsuccessful attempts to fix. Then I received it's working for me etc.(which was not the truth). Eventually, he explained based on a conflict from a different program my request couldn't happen the way I originally wanted, which was fine. Fast forwarding, he was able to make the alternate changes, but I only became aware of them because I kept checking to see if anything was happening. During that process he messed up a few things, and stopped communicating all together. In the end I just starting sending screenshots of how things looked. He eventually, put things back together, but had I not checked and started sending screenshots, I'm not sure what would have happened. Because things did workout in the end I'm leaving 3 stars, because there were honest attempts to support but somewhere along the line things took a drastic turn.

I used Kiwi Sizing to display size charts on my Shopify store, and while the app functions basically as advertised, their pricing model leaves much to be desired. On principle, I have disabled from my store and will be removing the app.

The Ultimate Plan starts at $12.49 USD monthly, which seems reasonable until you delve into the fine print. They charge extra fees based on the number of web orders you receive:

$0 extra for less than 100 orders
$5 extra for 100–500 orders
$20 extra for 500–2,000 orders
$60 extra for 2,000–6,000 orders
$120 extra for 6,000–10,000 orders
$200 extra for 10,000–20,000 orders
$350 extra for more than 20,000 orders

To put it into perspective, it's like hiring a plumber to fix your pipes, and then being charged not just for the repair, but also an ongoing monthly fee based on how much water you use afterward. It doesn't make sense to pay perpetually—and increasingly—as your usage grows for a service that was set up once.

Furthermore, a sizing chart is just one of many factors that contribute to the success of an online store. Even the world's best sizing chart won't boost sales if the site has poor products or a bad user experience. It feels inappropriate for Kiwi Sizing to implement a pricing model that scales with my store's success, almost as if they're taking credit for increased sales that result from a multitude of other efforts.

While I appreciate the functionality of Kiwi Sizing, I can't recommend it to other store owners who are mindful of scalable and fair pricing. Unless they reconsider this approach, I'd advise looking for alternative solutions that offer transparent and reasonable pricing without tying costs to your store's performance.

Update: this app used to be very good but the support is not responsive even after 4 days of waiting. It's hard to reach them although it is mentioned they are available every day. I have checked the chat logs and emails even spam folder and nothing! Very sad to see good apps like this lower their level of customer service after some time. Might switch to another app soon since the app is also throwing an error in our theme.

Old review Sep 2022: This app is very easy to work with and has lots of features. The support team is fantastic!! Highly recommend it

It's ok to use and does what it promises. It is very unfortunate that it does not support multilingual use - not even the native version. Shame.

This app shows in a wrong place about sizes. It is only half visible. How can I change it? It is a bug? Please help

I really like the app, but im having som problems with it changing my store theme. I was using normaly, but at the new theme it doen't show, ene though its activated. I could use some help!
