Is the mobile app better than the website?

Both are great — it really depends on how you prefer to shop. The app and website offer the same products, prices, and features. The difference is in the experience: the app is optimized for phones while the website gives you more screen space and flexibility. Here's a quick comparison to help you decide.

When the App Is Better

You shop on your phone regularly. The app is built specifically for mobile — it loads faster, navigates more smoothly, and feels more natural on a touchscreen than the mobile browser version.

You want real-time updates. Push notifications alert you instantly when your order ships, when a delivery arrives, when a flash sale starts, and when there's a deal you don't want to miss. The website can't send push notifications to your phone the way the app can.

You want the fastest checkout. The app integrates seamlessly with Apple Pay and Google Pay, and keeps you logged in persistently. Repeat purchases take seconds.

You browse on the go. The app caches recently viewed products, so you can browse items you've looked at even with a weak connection. Opening the app is faster than typing a URL and waiting for a page to load.

You like quick access. Tap the app icon and you're shopping. No browser tabs to manage, no URLs to type, no accidentally closing your session.

When the Website Is Better

You prefer a larger screen. Browsing product photos, reading reviews, and comparing items is more comfortable on a laptop or desktop monitor. You can see more products at once and read descriptions without scrolling as much.

You want to compare products in multiple tabs. Open several product pages in separate browser tabs and switch between them easily. This is harder to do in an app.

You don't want to download another app. The mobile website works perfectly in any browser — no installation, no storage used, no updates to manage.

You're making a one-time purchase. If you're buying a quick gift and don't plan to shop regularly, the mobile website gets the job done without adding an app to your phone.

You're on a shared or public computer. The website lets you log in, shop, and log out without installing anything.

What's the Same on Both

Everything that matters: the full product catalog of 20M+ products, all payment methods (credit cards, PayPal, Venmo, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Afterpay, Klarna), your account, cart, wishlist, and order history (synced across both), customer reviews and product details, all security protections and encryption, Perks membership benefits, and full customer support access.

Your account is the same whether you access it through the app or website. Add something to your cart on the app and it's there on the website, and vice versa.

Our Recommendation

Use both. Many of our customers do. They browse and impulse-shop on the app during downtime, compare products and do research on the website at home, get instant shipping notifications through the app, and manage their account on whichever is most convenient at the moment.

There's no commitment to one or the other. Use the app when it suits you, use the website when it suits you, and switch freely without losing any data.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the app free? A: Yes, completely free. Download from the App Store (iPhone/iPad) or Google Play (Android). No subscription, no premium version, no in-app purchases. Every feature is included.

Q: If I have the app, do I still need the website? A: You don't need both, but many people find value in having both options. The app is great for phone-based shopping, while the website is better for detailed research on a larger screen. Use whatever works for you.

Q: Does the website have features the app doesn't, or vice versa? A: The core shopping experience is identical. The app's main exclusive feature is push notifications. The website's main advantage is the ability to use browser features like multiple tabs, extensions, and keyboard shortcuts.

Q: I started shopping on the app. Can I finish on the website? A: Yes. Your cart, wishlist, and account sync in real time. Add items to your cart on the app, switch to the website on your laptop, and your cart is waiting for you. Just make sure you're logged into the same account on both.
