FAQ

StarBox and VOL: common questions

Is StarBox or VOL cheaper?
Both list a free plan. Paid plans start at $9.99/month for StarBox and $15/month for VOL. Shoplist compares base prices only between monthly plans in the same currency; usage charges and annual plans vary, so check each plan’s limits.
What features does each app list that the other doesn’t?
StarBox lists 11 the others don’t mention, such as All reviews page, Custom requests, Photo reviews, Promotions. VOL lists 1 the others don’t mention, such as Forms. A feature missing from a listing may still be supported; this compares what each App Store listing says.
Where does this comparison’s data come from?
Shoplist crawls Shopify storefronts to detect which apps each store runs, and reads each app’s Shopify App Store listing for reviews, pricing, features and integrations. Store counts are as of Oct 14, 2026 for StarBox, Oct 23, 2026 for VOL; estimated figures are labeled.

How Shoplist compares apps

Store counts come from Shoplist’s crawl of Shopify storefronts, which detects the apps each store runs; they are as of Oct 14, 2026 for StarBox, Oct 23, 2026 for VOL. Reviews, ratings, plans, features and integrations come from each app’s Shopify App Store listing. 28-day figures are labeled when estimated, and a figure that is missing or estimated never decides who leads.
