OrderRules vs KOR Order Limits
The budget pick vs the full-stack pick — features, pricing, and use-case fit.
Updated May 2026
KOR Order Limits is the cheaper option; OrderRules is the more capable option. KOR starts at $3.99/month and covers per-product and per-collection quantity rules. OrderRules adds automated store hours, a holiday calendar, storewide daily / weekly / monthly caps, time-based scheduling, and per-customer purchase limits — and includes a free Starter plan with no paid tier required for basic use. Pick KOR if you only need product-level limits; pick OrderRules if your store has any kind of capacity, scheduling, or customer-level constraint.

Per-checkout vs per-customer
KOR offers per-customer rules on its Pro plan, but only through manual customer tagging — you have to tag each shopper before the rule applies. OrderRules maintains a server-side per-customer ledger that identifies every shopper by Shopify customer ID, email, and shipping address fingerprint, with no manual tagging required. True "one per customer, not per checkout." Read the full explainer.

Which App Should You Pick?
By use case — based on rule type and budget.
| Your store | Pick | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Budget store, basic per-product min/max only | KOR | If all you need is per-product min/max + collection rules, KOR's $3.99/mo plan is the cheapest mature option. |
| Bakery / Cafe with daily production limits | OrderRules | Daily storewide caps + holiday calendar + store hours. KOR has none of these. |
| Restaurant with shift-based lunch / dinner ordering | OrderRules | Time-based scheduling for separate windows. KOR does not schedule. |
| Limited drop / streetwear with anti-reseller needs | OrderRules | Per-customer purchase limits enforced at checkout. KOR has no customer-level enforcement. |
| B2B store with customer-tag pricing tiers | OrderRules or KOR (Pro) | Both support customer-tag rules on their paid tier. OrderRules adds per-customer spending caps; KOR is cheaper for tag-only setups. |
| Need scheduling, daily caps, AND customer rules together | OrderRules | OrderRules combines all three rule families. KOR would need a separate app for scheduling and customer limits. |
Final Verdict
KOR Order Limits is a solid budget pick for Shopify stores that only need per-product and per-collection quantity rules — $3.99/month is the cheapest mature option in the category. However, KOR has no storewide daily caps, no automated store hours, no holiday calendar, no time-based scheduling, and no per-customer purchase limits. For most stores with capacity constraints (bakeries, restaurants, limited drops, B2B), OrderRules is the better fit despite a slightly higher Pro price, because it covers the rule types KOR doesn't.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — OrderRules is the right KOR Order Limits alternative for any store that needs more than basic per-product min/max rules. OrderRules adds automated store hours, holiday calendar, storewide daily caps, time-based scheduling, and per-customer purchase limits — none of which KOR offers. KOR remains cheaper at $3.99/month if you only need product-level limits.
No. KOR Order Limits caps quantities at the product or collection level, not at the storewide order level. If you need to cap total daily orders across your entire store (common for bakeries, restaurants, and meal prep), OrderRules is the right choice — it supports daily, weekly, and monthly storewide caps that reset automatically.
Only via customer tags on the Pro plan, which you have to maintain manually for each customer. OrderRules supports automatic per-customer purchase limits tracked by customer ID and email — including daily, weekly, monthly, and lifetime periods — without manual tag management.
Yes, for paid plans — KOR starts at $3.99/month and tops out at $5.99/month vs OrderRules Pro at $9.99/month. However, OrderRules has a free Starter plan that includes store hours, holiday calendar, daily order limits, and 3 product limits — features KOR does not offer at any price.
Yes. Both apps run independently on Shopify Functions, so you can install OrderRules alongside KOR, configure equivalent rules, verify behavior on a draft order, then uninstall KOR. No theme edits or code changes are required.
Yes. Both OrderRules and KOR Order Limits use Shopify's official Checkout Validation API (Shopify Functions) for server-side enforcement. Limits apply to every checkout method including Shop Pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and headless storefronts, and cannot be bypassed by direct checkout URLs.
