Fast Bundle's pricing page lists "Bundle as product (Combo products)" on every plan, Free included. SMART only creates discount offers on the products you already have. - You want the app to pick pairings. Fast Bundle offers frequently bought together on selected products, and AI-powered suggestions across all products from Standard. SMART has no recommendations. - Shoppers should build a kit on a builder. The listing describes mix & match bundles, fixed bundles and custom kits made with its Bundle Builder. SMART's Mix and match lives inside the product page widget, with no separate builder page. - You run a high-volume store. Fast Bundle's Enterprise plans add automatic bundle detection in the cart, Shopify POS integration and a post-purchase order split for bundles. ## When SMART Bundles fits - You want no sales ceiling and no request for a free plan. Fast Bundle's Free plan covers up to $500 a month for eligible stores; past that, Standard starts at $19/mo. SMART is free at any volume ([plan and pricing](https://smart-bundles.io/help/getting-started/plan-and-pricing)). - You sell in more than one language or through a subscription app and don't want a paid tier for it. Fast Bundle puts multilingual translation and subscription-app integration on Standard. In SMART, both come with the free plan ([translate the widget](https://smart-bundles.io/help/getting-started/translate-the-widget), [subscriptions in a bundle](https://smart-bundles.io/help/bundles/subscriptions-in-a-bundle)). - You want checkout rules beside the widget. SMART includes **Order goal**, **Shipping discount** and **Advanced discount** types, and **Settings > Restrictions** can hide payment or delivery options once a discount is on the cart ([cart discounts](https://smart-bundles.io/features/cart-discounts)). - You want a countdown timer, a savings summary and a low stock alert in the bundle widget. Neither Fast Bundle's listing nor its pricing page names them; in SMART they come with every bundle ([upsells and extras](https://smart-bundles.io/features/upsells)). ## Combo product or discount on the page A combo product is a new listing in your catalog that a shopper buys as one item. SMART works the other way round. The shopper stays on the product they're viewing, picks an offer card, for example two units at 10% off or this product plus a matching one, and the theme's own Add to cart button adds the real products. The discount then applies at cart and checkout. If you want both, a combo product for a gift set and quantity breaks on single products, that's two jobs, and Fast Bundle covers both; SMART covers the second ([complete the bundle](https://smart-bundles.io/features/complete-the-bundle)). **Bundle offers with no sales cap** Install SMART Bundles for free and put quantity breaks, Buy X get Y or a product bundle offer on your product pages. [Install SMART Bundles App & Upsells on the Shopify App Store](https://apps.shopify.com/smart-automatic-discounts). ## Frequently asked questions ### Can SMART Bundles create a combo product like Fast Bundle's bundle-as-product? No. SMART Bundles creates discount offers only. It doesn't create a bundle SKU, a packaged product or a bundle that tracks component stock. The products in an offer stay separate Shopify products with their own inventory.
