Kumo Review (2026)

Five stars over nine reviews is not a track record, and the age makes that worse rather than better.

Pricing (2026)

✓ Pricing re-verified 16 Sep 2026

Two plans and no free tier: B2B at $15 a month and PLUS at $30, both with a 7-day free trial, billed in USD every 30 days. B2B carries the whole working app — wholesale pricing, volume pricing, customer registration forms and the approval workflow — and pricing rules are unlimited rather than metered, so the ladder is not a volume ladder.

PLUS adds exactly three things, and all three are Shopify Plus features: company registration, product catalog assignment and checkout integration. If you are not on Shopify Plus, the $30 tier has nothing to sell you. The app is Built for Shopify, launched on 21 November 2024, and shows 5.0 stars over 9 reviews. Plans change — always verify the live price on their site.

What the pricing page doesn’t say

The catch

The app launched on 21 November 2024, so it has had close to two years on the App Store to collect them. Nine reviews in that window is a small installed base, and a small installed base is what decides whether an app is still maintained in 2028 — the rating tells you the nine are happy, not that the app is safe to build a wholesale channel on. The second plan is a trap for anyone who reads the ladder as a feature ladder.

PLUS costs twice B2B and the three things it adds — company registration, catalog assignment, checkout integration — are all labelled Shopify Plus on the listing itself. On a standard Shopify plan the extra $15 a month buys nothing you can switch on.

What Kumo does

Shopify wholesale app from Cloudlift GmbH: unlimited custom pricing rules that apply automatically to named customer groups, CSV import and export of price lists, B2B registration forms with an approval workflow, and prices that update in the theme without code edits. Two plans and no free tier — B2B $15 a month, PLUS $30, both with a 7-day trial; everything PLUS adds requires Shopify Plus. Built for Shopify, launched November 2024, 5.0 stars over 9 reviews as of 16 Sep 2026.

Kumo vs Wholesale Gorilla, side by side

Both columns come from the same place: each vendor’s own published pricing, read on the date shown in the sources at the foot of this page. We do not average them into a score.

Kumo →

What it costs

Two plans and no free tier: B2B at $15 a month and PLUS at $30, both with a 7-day free trial, billed in USD every 30 days.

The catch

Five stars over nine reviews is not a track record, and the age makes that worse rather than better.

Best for

Shopify merchants on a standard plan who need wholesale prices for named customer groups, with CSV price lists and a registration form that someone approves, and who would rather not pay three times as much for a heavier wholesale app

Wholesale Gorilla →

What it costs

Three tiers, all billed in USD every 30 days: Lite $34.95 a month, Advanced $69.95 and Premium $149.95.

The catch

It is a feature ladder, not a volume ladder, and the features most people picture when they say wholesale sit high on it.

Best for

Shopify merchants who already have wholesale buyers and want them ordering from the same store as retail customers — custom price groups, a signup and approval flow, net terms and wholesale-only shipping rules — without moving up to Shopify Plus for native B2B.

Both names above are affiliate links: we may earn a commission if you sign up, at no extra cost to you. Neither changes what this table says: both columns come straight from the vendors’ own pricing pages.

The natural comparison is Wholesale Gorilla — Same job, very different bill. Wholesale Gorilla runs $34.95, $69.95 and $149.95 a month against Kumo's $15 and $30, and buys you a nine-year history and 313 reviews at 4.7 stars against Kumo's nine. That is the whole trade: Gorilla is the safer bet on longevity and the deeper app, Kumo is less than half the entry price with unlimited pricing rules and a 7-day trial instead of Gorilla's 21-day one. On a standard Shopify plan with a handful of wholesale groups, Kumo does the job for the price of Gorilla's trial period..

Frequently asked questions

What should I weigh before buying E-commerce software?

Check your platform and version specifically. Shopify support is close to universal in this category, while WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Magento and headless setups vary a lot, and 'supported' sometimes means a generic API rather than a maintained app. A listing in your own platform's app store, with recent reviews there, is a better signal than the vendor's logo wall.
