Most shoppers who start checkout do not finish. A good abandoned cart app sends a short series of reminders, shows the exact items left behind, and stops as soon as the person buys. Here is how the main options compare.
Recover abandoned carts on Shopify, starting free
EmailSync starts you with a 3-step cart recovery template you can fully edit in its flow builder. Each email shows the shopper's real cart, it stops when they buy, and you see the revenue each email brought back.

- More than one email. A series of two or three usually beats a single reminder. See our abandoned cart email best practices.
- Real cart items in the email, with image, variant and price.
- Stops on purchase, so buyers do not get reminders for an order they already placed.
- Revenue tracking you can trust, tied to actual Shopify orders.
- Pricing that fits your store. Contact-based pricing punishes big lists. Send-based or order-based pricing does not.
1. Shopify's built-in abandoned checkout email
Shopify can send an automatic abandoned checkout email out of the box. It costs nothing and takes minutes to turn on. It is a basic option with limited control over timing and content across a longer series. Our abandoned checkout recovery setup guide covers the settings.

2. Shopify Email
Shopify Email's automations include abandoned checkout templates. The first 10,000 emails a month are free, then from $1 per 1,000.
3. Klaviyo
Klaviyo's abandoned cart flows are powerful, with conditional splits and SMS. The free plan covers 250 active profiles and 500 sends a month. Paid plans are priced by active profiles.
4. Omnisend
Omnisend includes pre-built cart abandonment workflows on every plan, including free (250 contacts, 500 emails a month). You can add SMS and push steps. Paid plans are priced by contacts.
5. EmailSync
EmailSync was built for this job. One click creates a 3-step series at 1 hour, 1 day and 3 days. Each email shows that shopper's actual cart items and the series ends the moment they buy. Every paid order is matched to the email that drove it, so the recovered revenue number comes from real orders. You can A/B test any step and keep the version that earns more.
| Plan | Price per month | Paid orders per month | Emails included |
|---|---|---|---|

| Scale | $99.95 | Unlimited | 200,000 |
On paid plans, emails past the included amount cost $1.75 per 1,000. There is no contact limit on any plan, so you are not charged for the size of your list.
Honest limits: no SMS, and the app is new with no reviews yet.
