Infinite Options vs Bold Product Options: which one?
Infinite Options (by ShopPad) is a simpler, focused product options app: good for stores that need to add a few extra options quickly. Bold Product Options SC ($14.99-$39.99/mo per Shopify App Store) is a mature, deep options builder with math fields, conditional logic, and variant-based pricing. Both solve the 3-option cap. If you want unlimited options + personalization + live preview + real free plan, consider Print It My Way ($0-$24.99/mo flat).
Step-by-step setup
- Identify option count and pricing needs. Both handle 4+ options. Pricing model differs.
- Compare tier vs field-type coverage. Bold has more field types; Infinite Options is simpler.
- Consider price + free-plan availability. Neither has a permanent free plan.
