Delivery Time Shopify Apps – Analytics & Insights

Essent Estimated Delivery Date dominates delivery time with 74.2% market share — a clear category leader Shopify merchants gravitate to first, 70.1pp ahead of S Estimated Delivery Date Plus (4.1%). SMART Shipping Rates & Rules sits at #3 with 8.8% share, rounding out the top tier. Together, the top 3 apps absorb 87.1% of all delivery time installs — a highly concentrated landscape with limited room for new entrants. XB Estimated Delivery Date EDD is the standout mover this month, climbing 10 positions — a momentum signal worth tracking.

Essent Estimated Delivery Date's 74.2% share looks dominant, but ShipX ‑ Shipping Rates & Rules slipped 1 position this month and the rest of the top 5 has reshuffled. Delivery Time apps are settled at the top and contested below — for merchants whose needs aren't a perfect Essent Estimated Delivery Date fit, the #2–#5 apps often surface better niche options.

Essent Estimated Delivery Date climbed from #8 (Oct 2025) to #1 (Oct 2026) — a 7-position gain among delivery time apps over the charted window. Across the top 5 plotted delivery time apps, 4 improved their ranking while 1 declined — the category is moving upward overall. Essent Estimated Delivery Date's share expanded +72.3pp from 1.9% (Oct 2025) to 74.2% (Oct 2026) — a sustained widening of the gap against other delivery time apps over this window.

A 7-position move for the leader over the charted delivery time window is large enough to reflect real merchant adoption shifts, not just App Store noise — Essent Estimated Delivery Date's climb as of Oct 2026 is the strongest trajectory signal in this chart.

United States is the largest single market for delivery time apps at 22.1% — but no country dominates, meaning delivery time apps serve a globally distributed merchant base. India follows at 11.1%, with United Kingdom at 6.7%. Together, the top 3 markets account for 39.8% of delivery time app installs worldwide. France (5.6%) and Canada (4.9%) round out the top 5. India is the fastest-growing market this month (+0.7pp), pointing to accelerating demand outside the established leaders.

With United States's 22.1% as the largest single market and the rest spread across many countries, the leading delivery time apps tend to be region-agnostic by design — geography matters less for app choice here than features, pricing, and support quality.

Essent Estimated Delivery Date reached 1,000 reviews in 16 months since launch — the fastest ramp among the top 5 delivery time apps tracked here. Pickup Delivery Date Pickeasy crossed the same milestone in 69 months, 53 months behind.

3 apps on this chart haven't yet crossed 1,000 reviews: Estimated Delivery Date ‑ ETA at 512, SMART Shipping Rates & Rules at 465, S Estimated Delivery Date Plus at 447 cumulative reviews. Estimated Delivery Date ‑ ETA is closest to the milestone — its current count puts it roughly 51% of the way to 1,000.

The 53-month gap between Essent Estimated Delivery Date's and Pickup Delivery Date Pickeasy's time-to-1,000 highlights how unevenly product-market fit landed across this delivery time set — the leader found its merchant audience early, while late-rampers took multiple years to reach the same review depth. For merchants comparing these apps today, slower-ramping apps may have closed the functionality gap but still operate on smaller review bases.
