BON is one of the highest-rated loyalty apps on the Shopify App Store, which makes it a serious name to weigh against Keystone. Both are points-and-tiers programs with genuine free plans, both target growing stores, and both price competitively at the entry level. So this comparison is about where the ladders diverge - and BON's ladder has one unusual feature worth flagging up front.
BON launched in 2021, carries the Built for Shopify badge, and holds a 5.0 rating across roughly 1,792 reviews as of July 2026 - an exceptional score at real volume. Keystone Loyalty Rewards launched in 2025 with a 5.0 rating from 4 reviews. BON has by far the deeper review history; that's the honest starting point.
Here's the rest. All pricing is as of July 2026.
The Plan Ladders Side by Side
BON: Free (150 monthly orders), Starter $15 (300 orders), Basic $29 (500 orders), Growth $129 (unlimited orders).
Keystone: Free (250 monthly orders), Starter $14.99 (500 orders), Standard $69 (1,250 orders), Growth $129 (2,000 orders).
Same entry price, and the top plans meet at $129. What differs is what each plan covers - and one detail on BON's top plan that changes the calculation for high-volume stores.
Where BON Wins: Unlimited Orders on the Top Plan
This is BON's standout feature and the first thing a high-volume store should notice.
BON's Growth plan at $129 includes unlimited monthly orders. Keystone's Growth plan at the same $129 covers 2,000 monthly orders. If you're processing well beyond 2,000 orders a month, BON's flat rate is simply cheaper at scale - there's no honest way around that.
For very high-volume merchants, that single line can decide the whole comparison.
Where BON Wins: Cheaper Route to POS and Integrations
BON puts several features lower on its ladder than most competitors.
Shopify POS, limited-time offers like 2x point days, multi-language display, and unlimited integrations including Shopify Flow all sit on BON's Basic plan at $29. On Keystone, POS is on Starter at $14.99, but native integrations and Shopify Flow are on Growth at $129.
If your priority is connecting loyalty to Shopify Flow and other tools without paying a top-tier price, BON reaches that at $29. That's a real advantage for integration-led stores.
Where BON Wins: Engagement Mechanics
BON's Growth plan includes some mechanics Keystone doesn't match directly: points for purchase streaks, points for daily check-ins, and a B2B tiers program alongside consumer VIP tiers. If gamified daily engagement or wholesale loyalty is central to your plan, BON has built for it.
Where Keystone Wins: Order Headroom in the Middle
BON's advantage is at the very top; Keystone's is in the middle of the ladder, where most stores actually live.
BON's Basic plan covers 500 monthly orders at $29. To exceed that, you jump to Growth at $129. Keystone's Standard at $69 covers 1,250 monthly orders - so a store doing 600 to 1,200 orders a month lands on a $69 plan with Keystone versus a $129 plan with BON. Between roughly 500 and 2,000 orders, Keystone is the cheaper ladder.
Where you fall decides it: above 2,000 orders favors BON's unlimited plan, and the 500 to 2,000 band favors Keystone's Standard.
Where Keystone Wins: VIP Tiers Land Lower
On BON, VIP tiers are on the Growth plan at $129. On Keystone, VIP tiers arrive on Standard at $69, with the Thank you page block and done-for-you setup where the Keystone team builds the program with you.
If tiers are your reason for upgrading and you're not yet at unlimited-order scale, Keystone reaches them for $60 a month less.
Where Keystone Wins: Languages
Keystone supports 20 languages; BON's listing shows 5 as of July 2026. For stores selling across several language markets, Keystone's multi-language and multi-currency storefront on the Growth plan covers more ground.
The Honest Recommendation
Choose BON if you process well over 2,000 monthly orders and want unlimited orders at a flat $129, you want POS and Shopify Flow at $29, or engagement mechanics like streaks, daily check-ins and B2B tiers are central to your plan.
Choose Keystone if you do between roughly 500 and 2,000 monthly orders and want the cheaper middle of the ladder, you want VIP tiers without jumping to a $129 plan, or you sell across many languages.
Both have strong free plans and both are highly rated. As always, the safe move is to run one on your own store before committing.
