Is Appstle worth running as a client service?

Appstle is a Shopify-only retention suite with strong customization and support evidence (40,000+ merchants, $100M+ in merchant revenue, 10,000+ five-star reviews), making it viable for agencies serving Shopify and Shopify Plus merchants who need subscriptions, memberships, loyalty, or bundles. The vendor's tiered pricing means the actual cost basis per client is unknown until the applicable Appstle plan is confirmed; agency pricing and ROI cannot be modeled from the supplied data.

An agency-fit judgement for reselling this service. It is separate from the tool description on the decision record.
