Comparison · Updated October 2026
Both apps turn a tablet into a Shopify kiosk where shoppers browse your live catalog and pay on their own phone by QR. Kioskify is Built for Shopify, runs in the browser on any touchscreen, and charges one flat price for as many tablets as you like. Amplify Kiosk is a native iPad and Android app priced by the number of devices.

Up to five devices. $100 for more.
Prices in USD per month, as of 7 October 2026. Growth covers up to $5,000 a month in kiosk revenue; Pro ($50) has no limit. Running one tablet? See what $30 gets you.

Kioskify has Shopify's Built for Shopify badge. Shopify gives it to apps that “meet our highest standards for performance, design, and integration”, and it checks each app against those standards before the badge goes on the listing.
Amplify Kiosk's App Store listing doesn't show the badge (as of 7 October 2026).
For you, that means:
This is the biggest difference between the two.
One price for the plan, and there's no limit on tablets. Open the same kiosk on one tablet or on ninety and the price stays the same.
No limit on tablets, on every plan
Charges by the number of devices. Every plan has the same features, including checkout and branding.
Kioskify Growth covers up to $5,000 a month in kiosk revenue across all your tablets. Above that, Pro has no limit. Amplify's listing doesn't mention a revenue limit.
One tablet with checkout
On a single tablet with checkout, Amplify Plus is $19.99 a month and Kioskify Growth is $30. Here's what the difference buys.

Shoppers fill a cart on the kiosk, scan a QR code, and pay through your Shopify checkout. No payment hardware to buy. Kioskify adds:
Amplify: QR checkout too, on every plan.

Amplify: also lets shoppers order what's not in the store. It's their main feature.
“This is the app all small businesses need. For pop ups or storefronts, when you can't hire someone to simply be on hand to take payments. The app works seamlessly with our Shopify store. The customer service is excellent with some of the quickest turnarounds we've seen!”
“I'm not very tech-savvy, but I found it incredibly easy to set up and use. [...] It's been a great conversation starter, and many customers ask to see items they hadn't noticed while shopping.”

Both apps read your products straight from Shopify, so there's no catalog to export or import. Switching looks like this:
Your Shopify orders, products, and discounts stay where they are.
