What is Firepush?
Firepush is a Shopify marketing app that combines web push notifications, SMS marketing, and email campaigns in one platform. It offers abandoned cart recovery, promotional campaigns, and automated flows across all three channels. Pricing starts free with paid plans based on subscriber count and message volume. It has a 4.6 rating on the Shopify App Store across 800+ reviews.
Where Firepush Falls Short
Messaging Platform, Not Revenue Architecture
Firepush sends messages across push, SMS, and email to bring customers to the store. It does not create bundle flows, tiered discounts, or offer stacks that change what customers buy when they arrive.
No Bundle Builder or Cart-Level Rewards
Firepush manages subscriber lists, sends campaigns, and tracks conversions across channels. It cannot build mix-and-match bundles, progressive discounts, or combined discount + shipping + gift rewards.
Per-Message Costs Scale with Growth
Firepush charges based on subscriber count and message volume. SMS costs $0.015-0.05 per message. A store sending 10,000 SMS/month pays $150-500 in messaging alone. Tiergain is flat-rate at $50/month regardless of order volume.
Messages Drive Traffic, Not Cart Value
Firepush can bring a customer back with a push notification or SMS. That customer still sees the same product pages. Without bundle architecture, messaging-driven traffic converts at the same AOV as organic traffic.
Three Channels of Noise, Same Offer
Firepush can reach customers via push, SMS, and email. But all three channels send the customer to the same storefront. If the offer structure is broken - single items, no tiers, no combined rewards - three channels just amplify a weak offer.

Why Merchants Switch to Tiergain
28% AOV lift vs multi-channel traffic recovery
Tiergain lifts AOV 28% on every order. Firepush recovers abandoned carts via push, SMS, and email. Lifting every order is a multiplier. Recovering some abandoned carts is an addition. Multipliers compound faster.
$50/month flat vs per-message variable costs
Tiergain Pro is $50/month regardless of volume. Firepush costs scale with subscribers and messages. A store with 5,000 SMS subscribers sending weekly campaigns can exceed $200/month in messaging costs alone.
Fix the offer before amplifying it
Firepush amplifies your storefront across 3 channels. If the offer is weak (single items, no tiers, no combined rewards), three channels amplify a weak offer. Install Tiergain first, fix the offer, then use Firepush to amplify a strong one.
