“Free wishlist app” means two different things on the Shopify App Store. Some apps are free, full stop: one plan, every feature, no counter ticking in the background. Others have a free plan that caps saved items or monthly saves, adds the vendor’s branding to your store, or keeps the useful parts (alerts, multiple lists, integrations) behind a paid tier.
Both can be the right choice. A capped free plan is fine if you want restock emails and plan to pay once the wishlist proves itself. A fully free app is the better pick if you want the core job done, saving items and bringing shoppers back, without a monthly bill waiting at the end of a trial.
This guide compares the 10 best free wishlist apps for Shopify in 2026, with ratings, review counts and free-plan limits checked on the App Store on 30 October 2026. Two apps you may have seen on older lists are not here: Wishlist Plus by Swym is currently unavailable on the Shopify App Store, and Smart Wishlist dropped its free plan. New to wishlists? Start with how to add a wishlist to your Shopify store.
Quick answer: if you want a wishlist that is free with every feature and saves the exact size and color, pick MP Wishlist & Favorites. If you need restock and price-drop emails on a free plan, WishlistSuite and Fish Wishlist include them at no cost, with limits. If you already run a loyalty program, Growave bundles a wishlist into it. Wishlist by Square is the most-reviewed fully free option and supports 16 languages.

Fully free vs free plan: what to check before you install
The table above separates the apps into two groups, and the difference matters more than the star rating.
- Fully free apps (MP Wishlist & Favorites, Wishlist by Square, WishlistSuite, Wishlist Monk, Joy) have one plan. What you see is what you keep, however many shoppers save items.
- Free plans (Wishlist Fade, Fish, Hulk, Wishlist Hero, Growave) are the first tier of a paid app. Each caps something: saved items, monthly saves, customers, or orders. Two of them put the vendor’s branding on your storefront until you pay.
Three questions to ask about any free wishlist app:
- What is capped? 500 items or 500 saves a month sounds like plenty until a collection launch. Check what happens at the cap: some apps stop saving, others nag the shopper.
- Is there a “powered by” badge? A branded free plan turns your product page into an ad for the wishlist vendor.
- Does it save the exact variant? A wishlist that saves “the hoodie” instead of “the hoodie, medium, navy” sends the shopper back to the size picker on the return visit. Only a few listings say this clearly.
10 best free wishlist apps for Shopify, reviewed
1. MP Wishlist & Favorites
- Rating: 5.0/5, launched October 2026
- Best for: Stores that want a wishlist that saves the exact size and color, works for guests, and stays free with every feature.
MP Wishlist & Favorites is the newest app on this list and the only one built around one specific problem: wishlists that forget the variant. Every save keeps the exact size and color the shopper picked, the product page shows whether the current variant is already saved, and the wishlist page sends that variant to the cart. It comes from Shopplaza, the team behind MP Size Chart & Size Guide (5.0 from 876 reviews, Built for Shopify), so it is tested alongside a size guide on the same product page.
It is free with every feature included. There is no item cap, no monthly save limit, and no “powered by” badge. Setup is one switch: turn on the app embed in the theme editor, and the product-page button, product-card icon and header shortcut are already on.
Key features
- Wishlist button on product pages (below or above Add to cart, or on the image), product cards, and a header, menu or floating shortcut with a saved-items counter.
- Saves the exact variant; the button reflects the saved state when the shopper switches size or color.
- Guest wishlist with no login; the list moves into the customer account if they sign in later.
- Wishlist page with stock and sale badges, Add to cart, Add all to cart, and a recommendations block.
- Star ratings and review counts on saved items, from AG Product Reviews App & UGC.
- Live preview on your own products, Match with your theme, and display conditions by product or collection.
- Analytics: wishlist saves, guest vs customer saves, most-saved products by variant, and a Customers page.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Fully free, no caps, no branding.
- Exact-variant saving, which most free wishlists do not state.
- Guest saving that merges into the account at login.
- Add all to cart and most-saved analytics on the free plan.
- Shows product reviews from AG Product Reviews on the wishlist page.
- One-step setup with no theme code.
Cons
- New app with a small review base so far.
- No restock or price-drop emails, and no wishlist sharing.
- Storefront strings are in English only.
Pricing
- Free, every feature included

2. Wishlist by Square
- Rating: 5.0/5 / Total reviews: 143
- Best for: Stores selling in several languages that want a simple, fully free wishlist with a proven support record.
Wishlist by Square launched in mid-2025 and has become the most-reviewed fully free wishlist on the App Store, with a 5.0 rating and the Built for Shopify badge. It works without customer accounts, offers Favorites and Save for later list types, and reports top saved products, wishlist value and conversions. The listing names 16 storefront languages, which makes it a frequent pick for EU and APAC stores.
Reviews often mention the support team, which is a good sign for a free app. The listing does not mention variant-level saving, sharing or email alerts, so check those in a test store if you need them.
Key features
- Guest wishlist with automatic saving, no account required.
- Favorites and Save for later list types.
- Wishlist page with add to cart.
- Analytics: top saved products, wishlist value, conversion.
- 16 languages.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Fully free with no plans to compare.
- Built for Shopify, 5.0 rating from 143 reviews.
- Strong language coverage.
Cons
- Variant saving, sharing and alerts are not stated on the listing.
- Fewer display and styling options than the paid apps.
Pricing
- Free
3. WishlistSuite Wishlist & AI
- Rating: 5.0/5 / Total reviews: 41
- Best for: Stores that want back-in-stock and price-drop emails without paying for them.
WishlistSuite Wishlist & AI by SimpleSuite packs more into a free listing than any other app here: guest wishlist, save for later, multiple lists, sharing by email and social, back-in-stock and price-drop emails, 25 languages, and a conversion dashboard. It lists Klaviyo, Omnisend, Meta Pixel and GA4 under “works with”. The live listing shows a single Free plan with no limits.
The catch is history rather than features. Older cached versions of the listing showed a 1,000-item free cap and a $5 premium tier, so the pricing has changed before and may change again. Install it for the alerts, but re-check the pricing page every few months.
Key features
- Guest wishlist, save for later, multiple lists.
- Share via email, social and links.
- Back-in-stock and price-drop emails.
- Klaviyo, Omnisend, Meta Pixel, GA4.
- 25 languages, conversion and revenue analytics.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Alerts and integrations on a free plan.
- Built for Shopify, 5.0 rating.
- Wide language support.
Cons
- Pricing has changed before; limits may return.
- Smaller review base.
- Many settings for a store that only needs a heart icon.
Pricing
- Free (no limits shown on the current listing)
4. Wishlist Monk
- Rating: 5.0/5 / Total reviews: 38
- Best for: Stores that want shareable wishlists and bulk add to cart on a fully free app.
Wishlist Monk by Monk Commerce launched in April 2026 and already carries the Built for Shopify badge with a perfect rating. It covers guest wishlists, shareable lists, bulk add to cart and conversion analytics, with Public, Favorites, Save for later and Guest list types. Storefront text is English only.
Monk Commerce is better known for its bundle and upsell app, and the wishlist follows the same pattern: clean, fast, and without a paid tier to upsell you into.
Key features
- Guest wishlist.
- Shareable wishlists.
- Bulk add to cart.
- Public, Favorites, Save for later and Guest list types.
- Conversion analytics.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Fully free, Built for Shopify.

Pricing
- Free
5. Joy Wishlist & Back in Stock
- Rating: 5.0/5 / Total reviews: 23
- Best for: Stores already using Joy Loyalty that want a matching, fully free wishlist.
Joy Wishlist & Back in Stock comes from the team behind Joy Loyalty Program & Rewards. It is fully free, Built for Shopify, and offers Public, Favorites and Save for later lists, add to cart from the wishlist, custom branding and icons, analytics on customer lists and shopping behaviour, and six storefront languages.
Despite the name, the current listing does not describe how back-in-stock notifications work, and it does not state guest saving or sharing. If those matter, test them before relying on them.
Key features
- Public, Favorites and Save for later list types.
- Add to cart from the wishlist.
- Custom branding, layouts and icons.
- Analytics on wishlists and shopping behaviour.
- 6 languages (EN, FR, DE, IT, JA, ES).
Pros & Cons

6. Wishlist Fade
- Rating: 5.0/5 / Total reviews: 62
- Best for: Small stores that want a generous free plan today and cheap alerts later.
Wishlist Fade by Fade Commerce launched in May 2026 and has collected 62 five-star reviews since. The free plan is one of the better ones in the “free plan” group: 500 wishlist items, unlimited wishlist actions, guest wishlist, sharing, bulk add to cart and analytics. Multiple wishlists, save for later, price-drop, restock and low-stock alerts, Klaviyo and Shopify Flow start at the $3.99 Starter plan, with 100 emails a month.
The 500-item cap is the thing to watch. For a store with steady traffic it will fill within a season, at which point the $3.99 plan (1,000 items) is the realistic price.
Key features
- Guest wishlist, sharing and bulk add to cart on the free plan.
- Advanced analytics on the free plan.
- Alerts, multiple wishlists, Klaviyo and Flow from $3.99.

7. Fish Wishlist
- Rating: 5.0/5 / Total reviews: 19
- Best for: Stores that want every feature, including Klaviyo and alerts, free while they are small.
Fish Wishlist by Native App Co. takes a different approach to its free plan: all features, capped by customers rather than items. Up to 100 wishlist customers get guest saving, multiple lists, sharing, price-drop and back-in-stock alerts, Klaviyo, Shopify Flow triggers, POS and Markets support, and conversion analytics. Above 100 customers you move to Grow at $12 a month (500 customers) or Lightning at $40 (unlimited). A $90 Trade plan adds B2B quote requests and draft orders.
This is the most complete free tier on the list in feature terms, and the fastest to outgrow. It suits a new store that wants to test alerts and Klaviyo flows before committing.
Key features
- Guest wishlist, multiple lists, sharing.
- Price-drop and back-in-stock alerts on the free plan.
- Klaviyo integration and Shopify Flow triggers.

8. Hulk AI Wishlist & Favorites
- Rating: 4.9/5 / Total reviews: 141
- Best for: Stores that want a well-established vendor and plan to pay for alerts and multiple lists.
Hulk AI Wishlist & Favorites has been on the App Store since 2020 and carries the Built for Shopify badge. The free plan gives you a wishlist page, guest wishlist, sharing by email and social, and Shopify AI product recommendations, capped at 500 wishlist items a month and with Hulk branding on your store. Price-drop and back-in-stock alerts, multiple wishlists, branding removal and Klaviyo, Mailchimp and Omnisend integrations start at Growth ($9.90).
Think of the free plan as an extended trial. The features most stores install a wishlist for, alerts and a clean storefront, are on the paid tiers.
Key features
- Guest wishlist and sharing on the free plan.
- Shopify AI product recommendations.
- Alerts, multiple wishlists, Klaviyo and Flow from $9.90.
- Advanced reporting, Google Sheets export, Zapier from $24.90.

9. Wishlist Hero
- Rating: 4.7/5 / Total reviews: 421
- Best for: Stores that want the cheapest paid route to low-stock and sale emails.
Wishlist Hero by Revamp has the largest review base of the wishlist-only apps on this list. The free plan allows 500 wishlist additions a month with guest wishlist, sharing, reports and four storefront languages (EN, FR, ES, DE). Silver at $4 adds 1,000 additions, custom branding, Klaviyo and ad pixels, and low-stock and on-sale email reminders. Gold Plus ($17) and Platinum ($29) raise the caps and add Omnisend, SendGrid and a REST API.
It is not Built for Shopify, and lower-star reviews mention paid customisation requests and slow support. The 4.7 rating is still solid for an app this old.
Key features
- Guest wishlist, sharing and reports on the free plan.
- Low-stock and on-sale email reminders from $4.
- Klaviyo, GA4, Meta and TikTok pixels from $4.
- Omnisend, SendGrid and REST API from $17.
- 4 languages.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Large review base.
- Alerts from $4 a month.
- Popup or standalone wishlist page.
Cons
- Not Built for Shopify.
- Custom branding is a paid feature.
- Some reviews cite paid customisation and slow replies.
Pricing
- Free: 500 wishlist additions/month
- Silver: $4/month
- Gold Plus: $17/month
- Platinum: $29/month
10. Growave: Loyalty & Wishlist
- Rating: 4.8/5 / Total reviews: 1,289
- Best for: Stores that want loyalty, reviews and a wishlist in one app and can live with branding until they pay.
Growave is a loyalty and reviews suite that includes a wishlist, and it is the most-reviewed app on this list by a wide margin. The free plan covers loyalty points, wishlist and product reviews for stores up to 200 orders a month, with Growave branding and 48-hour email support. Entry ($15) raises the order limit to 500 and adds one integration such as Klaviyo; back-in-stock emails appear on the Growth plan at $199.
Because the limit is on orders, not wishlist items, the free plan can suit a small store well. The wishlist itself is one module among several, so if a wishlist is all you need, a dedicated app will be lighter.
Key features
- Wishlist, loyalty points and product reviews in one app.
- Guest wishlist, multiple lists, sharing.
- Price-drop alerts; back-in-stock emails from $199.
- Klaviyo and 30+ integrations on paid plans.
- 16 languages, conversion analytics.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Three apps in one on the free plan.
- 1,289 reviews, Built for Shopify.
- Order-based cap suits small stores.
Cons
- Growave branding on the free plan.
- Per-order overage charges on paid plans.
- Heavier than a wishlist-only app.
Pricing
- Free: 200 orders/month, Growave branding
- Entry: $15/month, 500 orders
- Growth: $199/month, 1,500 orders
- Plus: $499/month, 3,000 orders
How to choose a free wishlist app for your Shopify store
By what you need the wishlist to do
- Save items and bring shoppers back, nothing else: MP Wishlist & Favorites, Wishlist by Square, Wishlist Monk. All three are fully free, so you will never hit a cap.
- Restock and price-drop emails on a free plan: WishlistSuite (no stated cap) or Fish Wishlist (up to 100 customers).
- Loyalty program plus wishlist: Growave.
- Cheapest paid upgrade when you outgrow free: Wishlist Fade ($3.99) or Wishlist Hero ($4).
By store type
- Apparel, footwear, anything with sizes: pick an app that saves the exact variant. MP Wishlist & Favorites states it on the listing; most others do not, so test it.
- Multi-language stores: Wishlist by Square (16), WishlistSuite (25), Wishlist Fade (25), Hulk (20).
- Stores with heavy traffic and no budget yet: avoid the 500-item and 500-save caps; choose a fully free app.
Two things to test before you commit
- Add a product as a guest, then log in. Does the saved item follow you into the account?
- Pick a size and color, save, then open the wishlist page. Is the variant there, and does Add to cart put that variant in the cart?
Want the wishlist that stays free as you grow?
MP Wishlist & Favorites is free with every feature, no item caps and no branding.
- Saves the exact size and color, for guests and logged-in customers
- Wishlist page with stock and sale badges and Add all to cart
- Most-saved product analytics by variant
- One switch to set up, from the team behind MP Size Chart (5.0, 876 reviews)
Frequently asked questions
What is the best free wishlist app for Shopify?
For a wishlist that is free with every feature and saves the exact size and color, MP Wishlist & Favorites is the best pick in 2026. Wishlist by Square is the most-reviewed fully free alternative and supports 16 languages. If you need restock and price-drop emails for free, WishlistSuite and Fish Wishlist include them, with limits.
Is there a completely free wishlist app for Shopify with no limits?
Yes. MP Wishlist & Favorites, Wishlist by Square, Wishlist Monk and Joy Wishlist each have a single free plan with no item or monthly-save caps shown on their listings. WishlistSuite is currently listed as free with no limits, though its pricing has changed in the past.
Which free wishlist apps add their branding to my store?
On the free plans checked in October 2026, Hulk AI Wishlist & Favorites and Growave show vendor branding until you upgrade, and Wishlist Hero lists custom branding as a paid feature. MP Wishlist & Favorites, Wishlist by Square, Wishlist Monk and Joy do not mention branding on their free plans.
Can shoppers use a free Shopify wishlist without an account?
Most apps on this list offer a guest wishlist. MP Wishlist & Favorites, Wishlist by Square, Wishlist Monk, Wishlist Fade, Fish, Hulk, Wishlist Hero and Growave all state guest saving on their listings. Check whether the guest list moves into the customer account at login; MP Wishlist & Favorites does this automatically.
Does a free wishlist app save the size and color the shopper picked?
Not always. Many wishlists save only the product. MP Wishlist & Favorites saves the exact variant and sends it to the cart from the wishlist page. For the other apps, test it in a development store before you rely on it, especially for apparel.
The bottom line
A free wishlist app is only free if it stays free at the volume your store will reach. The five fully free apps on this list (MP Wishlist & Favorites, Wishlist by Square, WishlistSuite, Wishlist Monk, Joy) remove that question. The five free plans are worth it when the paid feature you will eventually want, usually alerts, is cheap and you expect to pay for it.
For apparel and any store where the variant matters, start with MP Wishlist & Favorites: it is the one app here that states exact-variant saving, guest merging and Add all to cart on a plan that costs nothing. For a wishlist alongside a loyalty program, Growave. For free alerts right now, WishlistSuite or Fish.
