A Rewind alternative that does not charge by order volume

Who this is for

You back up your Shopify store with Rewind, sales grew, and the bill grew with them. Nothing about the backup got better - the same products, the same themes, the same collections - but the invoice moved because you sold more. That is the one thing StoreVault is built to do differently.

If your order volume is flat and the bill does not bother you, there is no urgent reason to switch. Backups are infrastructure: the right time to change them is when something concrete is wrong.

What Rewind is, fairly

Rewind is the incumbent in this category and has been backing up Shopify stores for years, with 4.2 stars across 545 reviews on the app store as of 2 August 2026. It backs up, in its own words, "products, themes, collections, customer data" plus metafields and integrations with Klaviyo and Mailchimp, and it supports "bulk & individual restores". If you need those marketing integrations backed up, StoreVault does not have them and Rewind does. That is a real reason to stay.

The difference that shows up on the invoice

Rewind's listing prices two plans as of 2 August 2026: Backup + Restore at $19/month "Up to 300 orders/month", and Protection Suite at $99/month "Up to 600 orders/month", with higher order tiers priced on their own pricing page.

Their price is chosen by a band of average monthly orders - there is a selector on their pricing page, and we walk through how it works on a separate page.

StoreVault charges by how much store there is to back up, not by how much you sold: $9/month up to 1,000 products, $19/month up to 10,000, $39/month with no product limit. A busy December does not change the bill, and neither does a viral week. The work of backing up a store is proportional to the store, so that is what we price.

There is also a free plan - 50 products, 7 days of history - with the same restore machinery, not a crippled preview.

Proof instead of promises

A backup nobody has ever read back is a promise, not a backup. StoreVault re-reads its own stored copies on a schedule, decrypts them, compares a sample against your live store and emails you the result - whether it passed or not. You get evidence on an ordinary Tuesday rather than a discovery on your worst day.

Restores are planned before they happen. You see exactly which records will change and how many will be left alone, you approve that plan, and if the result is not what you expected, one button puts it back. A record edited by you between the plan and the restore is skipped rather than silently overwritten.

What StoreVault does not do

Orders and customers are backed up in full, compared, and exportable - but they are never written back into your store. Shopify's API does not let an app recreate an order or a customer as it was, so we do not call that a restore. Product images are captured with their metadata and included in exports, but a restore does not re-attach them. Themes are stored version by version and download as a .zip that you upload yourself; StoreVault never publishes a theme into your store.

These limits are on this page for the same reason they are in the app: the one thing worse than a missing feature is a feature you find out about during an emergency.

Switching

Install StoreVault next to what you already have. The first backup starts by itself and the first drill receipt arrives within the day, so you can see the evidence before you cancel anything. Keep both for a month if you like - backups are the one place where redundancy is the point.
