Where DECO is the better choice
- You want discounts, banner bars and trust badges in the same app. DECO creates discount campaigns and countdown banners; Clearlabel only does labels.
- You rely on integrations: DECO lists 50+ (Judge.me and BOGOS among them) on its paid plans.
- You want a long track record: DECO has been on the App Store since May 2016, has the Built for Shopify badge, and 97% of its ratings are 5 stars.
- You want 24/7 live chat. Clearlabel's support is email and in-app help from the developer, answered within 24 hours.
What unhappy DECO users said
Most DECO reviews are positive. These are from its recent 1-2 star reviews, quoted as written, because they show the problems Clearlabel was built to avoid:
“this app caused infinite loop and make page unresponsive”1★, June 4, 2026
“gave all our product pages white overlay”1★, May 17, 2026
“Didnt say anything about max 20 for free version.”1★, August 7, 2024
How Clearlabel avoids those problems
- No overlays and no layout changes. One script under 9 KB adds labels inside product image containers and nothing else. If it doesn't recognise a theme, it shows no label rather than breaking the page.
- Your labels live in your store as metaobjects, so they keep showing if our server is down and stay saved if you uninstall.
- No caps on the free plan: unlimited labels on unlimited products, with every everyday rule (sale %, new, sold out, low stock, tags, collections, type, vendor, price, title).
Switching from DECO takes about ten minutes
- Install Clearlabel and click “Turn on”, then Save in the theme editor. Sale and Sold out labels are created for you.
- Recreate your other labels from the templates (New, Low stock, Bestseller, Pre-order and more). There's no importer, so note DECO's texts and colours first.
- Check the live preview: it shows exactly which of your products get each label.
- In the theme editor, switch off DECO's app embed, then uninstall DECO.
