Pushy vs PushLast: Which Out-of-Stock Push-Down App Is Better? (2026)
Both Pushy and Out of Stock Sold Out PushLast move sold-out products to the bottom of your Shopify collections and bring them back up when you restock. PushLast has been around the longest of any app in this category; Pushy is the newer, Built for Shopify option. Here’s how they stack up.

The Short Version
- Choose PushLast if you have a very large catalog and prefer pricing tiered purely by product count, and you don’t need a free plan.

Where PushLast Is Strong
PushLast has been around since 2020, the longest track record of any app here. A few things it does well:
- Its pricing is built for big catalogs. Tiers go purely by product count, up to 100,000 products, with metered overage capped at $50/month. If you run a very large store, the top tier may line up cleanly with your catalog.
- The model is simple: real-time sorting that keeps in-stock products at the front and sends sold-out ones to the end.
- It’s been in production for several years, so it’s well tested.
Where Pushy Is Different
Pushy is newer, and here’s where it differs:
- It has a free plan. You can manage up to 5 collections for free with no time limit. PushLast gives you a 14-day trial but no free tier, so you start paying once the trial ends.
- It’s rated higher: 5.0★ versus PushLast’s 3.9★ (as of May 2026).
- It carries Shopify’s Built for Shopify badge for performance and admin integration.
- You can exclude products by tag to keep them pinned no matter their stock level.
- It sorts in real time and runs an hourly safety sync, so the order stays right even if an event gets missed.
Pricing Compared
The big difference is the free plan. Pushy starts free for 5 collections and scales to $3.99–$14.99/month. PushLast has no free tier; after the 14-day trial it’s $3.99/month for up to 1,000 products, $9.99 for up to 10,000, or $19.99 for up to 100,000. Smaller and mid-size stores will spend less with Pushy, both to start and over time. If you have a very large catalog, check your product count against PushLast’s tiers.
Which Should You Choose?
- Want to try it free, care about the rating, and want a Built for Shopify app? Go with Pushy.
- Running a very large catalog and prefer product-count pricing? PushLast may fit your size.
Switching to Pushy
There’s no theme code to touch, and setup takes about two minutes: install the app, pick your collections, and turn auto-push on. Pushy re-sorts right away and keeps the order maintained from then on.
