Pricing: a flat fee vs paying per bundle order

The models are structured differently. SillyCube’s Build Your Own Bundles is priced by how many bundle orders you get each month — roughly $25 to $199 as your order count climbs — so the more successful your bundles, the more you pay. Qe BYOB charges a flat tier: $19, $39 or $59 a month, no matter how many orders come through.

For a store that wants its bundle feature to drive volume, paying more per order works against you. A flat fee keeps the maths simple as you grow:

Monthly app cost as your box sales grow

Getting Started (Low Volume)

Qe BYOB

$19 flat

SillyCube BYOB

~$25

Scaling up (Mid Volume)

Qe BYOB

$39 flat

SillyCube BYOB

~$99

Growing Fast (High Volume)

Qe BYOB

$59 flat

SillyCube BYOB

~$199

As your monthly bundle orders grow, an order-based plan climbs toward ~$199 while Qe BYOB stays at $59. If you want your builder to drive volume without penalising success, a flat fee is the better structure. Confirm current tiers on each App Store listing before deciding.

Personal Gifting: Messages, Media and Multiple Boxes

SillyCube’s app is built with developers in mind — conditional logic and custom code. That is useful for complex catalogs, but it is not a gifting-first experience. If your store sells gift boxes, hampers and occasion bundles, the personal details are what convert — and that is where Qe BYOB leads.

The standout is recorded audio and video gift messages. Most builders let a buyer type a note. Qe BYOB lets them record a voice or video message right inside the box, so the recipient opens a genuinely personal gift. For birthdays, anniversaries, long-distance gifting and condolences, that single feature lifts both conversion and perceived value — and it's not something you can bolt on later with a text field.

The second edge is multi-box checkout. A shopper doing their holiday gifting can build several different boxes for several different people and check out once. That's a direct average-order-value lever, and it removes the friction of repeating the whole flow per recipient. Add product personalization, multi-filter pickers and multi-currency selling, and Qe BYOB covers the full gifting journey rather than a single box at a time.

What you Get Beyond the Builder

Real support without the wait

No ticket queues or canned replies. A dedicated expert works directly with your team, from setup to theme customization, over call or email.

Built to match your brand

The builder integrates seamlessly with your theme. From custom layouts to unique pricing, everything feels like a natural part of your store.

Speed and scale without the bloat

Built to stay responsive even during peak traffic. A big sale or a launch won't slow your store — which protects conversions.

Data that helps you grow

Beyond basic numbers: know what's working, where to improve, and how to raise average order value, turning insight into real growth.

Switching to Qe BYOB is simple

Leaving a developer-dependent setup behind is the point. Qe BYOB installs without code, works with your theme out of the box, and includes done-for-you styling on the top plan, so you are not waiting on engineering to change a layout or a discount.

Predictable Flat Pricing

Enjoy consistent, flat-rate pricing that grows with your business—no per-order fees or unexpected costs, even during your busiest months.

Is there any reason to pick SillyCube BYOB?

A comparison that flatters only one side isn't useful, so here's the honest boundary.

One scenario where SillyCube BYOB may fit

If you have a developer team that wants raw CSS/JS control and complex conditional bundle logic across a large or unusual catalog, SillyCube’s Build Your Own Bundles gives that flexibility. For stores that want a higher-rated, gifting-first builder that works without code and stays affordable as orders grow, Qe BYOB is the stronger choice.
