Most “best apps” lists rank on review count. This one ranks on the three things your customers actually feel: download-limit logic, pricing model, and what the free tier really includes. Full disclosure up front: I build Fulfile, one of the apps below. Every cell is dated July 4, 2026 and sourced from each app’s own listing, so you can check me.
The one setting most lists never mention
Almost every delivery app counts download limits per ORDER. Sell a 10-file bundle with a 3-download cap and your buyer can burn the whole limit on two files, then sit locked out of eight they paid for. That is a support ticket, sometimes a chargeback. SendOwl documents 3 download attempts per order by default, and Shopify’s native app also caps per order. Fulfile counts the limit per FILE, so every file carries its own budget. If you sell multi-file products, check this one setting before anything else, whichever app you pick.
