Feature-by-feature comparison

Fifteen features, each mapped to the plan that unlocks it. "Not listed" means the sources we reviewed do not mention it, not that the feature is impossible.

Pricing side-by-side

SC Product Options lists yearly billing at $149.99 (Basic) and $399.99 (Premium). The OPTIS listing does not show annual billing. Both apps offer a 14-day trial and bill through your Shopify invoice.

Where OPTIS is the stronger fit

Three scenarios where OPTIS earns its place:

• You want to start free on a live store. The OPTIS free plan covers 10 option sets and 10+ option types. SC's free Developer plan is for development stores, so a live store pays from $14.99 a month.
• You need conditional logic, price add-ons, or cart editing without paying $40 a month. OPTIS Advanced ($9.99/mo) includes conditional logic and price add-ons, and Platinum ($19.99/mo) adds cart page editing and option quantity. SC lists all three on Premium ($39.99/mo). If you are outgrowing Shopify's variant limit, our guide to adding unlimited variants shows the setup step by step.
• You run Shopify Plus and want the setup done for you. OPTIS Unlimited ($49.99/mo) includes a customization service and 1-on-1 support from the BSS Commerce team.

Where SC Product Options is the stronger fit

Two scenarios where SC Product Options is the better choice:

• You want install help and a yearly bill from day one. SC Basic ($14.99/mo) lists free install and consultation, 24/7 live chat support, file uploads, and batch apply, and yearly billing saves 17%.
• Your order workflow runs through Order Printer, Spently, or EComposer. The SC listing names these integrations, plus Reorder Master and PageFly. If your packing slips or order emails already depend on those apps, SC fits the stack you have.

Migration guide: SC Product Options to OPTIS in 7 steps

Neither listing mentions a direct import between the two apps, so plan to recreate your option sets by hand.

• Step 1. Document every SC option set: field types, values, conditional rules, priced extras, and the products each set is applied to. Screenshots work.
• Step 2. Install OPTIS Product Options, Variant on a duplicate of your live theme.
• Step 3. Recreate each option set in OPTIS using your notes from Step 1.
• Step 4. Assign the sets to one pilot product. Check that fields render, rules fire, and price add-ons reach the cart.
• Step 5. Roll out to the remaining products, place a test order, then uninstall SC Product Options. In the test order, use a discount code and, if your theme shows one, the Buy Now button, then confirm the option fee and every selection appear on the order. Avoid running both apps on one product page: duplicate fields confuse shoppers.
• Step 6. Check that the old app left nothing behind. In Shopify admin, open Online Store > Themes > Edit code on a duplicate theme and search `theme.liquid` and the Snippets folder for the old app's name. If any app's support team needs store access for this, give a collaborator or staff account with limited permissions and ask them to work on the duplicate theme, not the live one.
• Step 7. Make sure the old orders stay readable. Before you uninstall, export your orders from Shopify admin (Orders > Export > CSV) and check whether the option values appear in the file: values saved as line-item properties travel with the order, values that only the old app's dashboard could render do not. After the uninstall, open two or three old orders and confirm the selections still show. Do this while reinstalling the old app is still easy, not a month later.
