| What to check | Shopify Bundles | Fast Bundle |
|---|---|---|
| Simple fixed bundles | Built for a straightforward fixed bundle or multipack. | Can do the job, but may add more controls than a simple offer needs. |
| Offer flexibility | Best when the contents and quantities are fixed. | Supports more ways for customers to build and buy bundles. |
| Cost-conscious test | A free first option for validating a straightforward bundle. | The monthly cost should earn its place through a better offer or more sales. |
| Speed to launch | Lighter setup when the bundle and stock rules are simple. | More choices to configure, test and manage after launch. |
