Shoptin vs usage-based checkout consent for Shopify
Both approaches solve the same core job: region-aware checkout email and SMS consent vs Shopify's default. The difference is price. Shoptin is flat fee ($400/mo or $333/mo billed $4,000/yr) with unlimited consents vs usage-based per-contact pricing (~$2 per incremental contact).
