# Pricing

### Who this guide is for

Shopify merchants evaluating Joy Loyalty or looking to understand their current plan and upgrade options.

***

### Overview

Joy Loyalty offers four pricing tiers designed to scale with your business — from new stores testing loyalty programs to enterprise brands managing complex omnichannel experiences. All plans include a 14-day free trial (except Starter), the Ultimate goes with 30-day free-trial and pricing is transparent with no hidden fees.

***

### Pricing structure

Joy Loyalty uses a **base subscription + order volume** pricing model:

* **Base monthly fee** — Covers access to all plan features
* **Free monthly orders** — Each plan includes a quota of orders at no extra cost
* **Overage fees** — Additional orders beyond your quota are charged per 100 orders
