Sky Pilot is a well-rated app. The comparison that matters is the pricing model: usage-metered plans with bandwidth overages versus Fulfile’s flat pricing and per-file download limits. Every Sky Pilot number below was verified on their Shopify listing on July 6, 2026. Disclosure: this page is written by Fulfile’s founder.
The 30-second answer
Pick Sky Pilot if streaming video inside Shopify is your core product and the $54.99 Growth plan (where streaming lives) fits your budget. Pick Fulfile if you sell files: bundles, PDFs, printables, presets, audio, or software with license keys, and you want a bill that stays flat no matter how big your files are or how well your launch goes.
Metered bandwidth means your delivery bill scales with your success. A concrete example from their published rates (July 2026): sell a 2 GB video pack 25 times in a month on Sky Pilot’s $9 Starter plan and you have used 50 GB against a 15 GB allotment. The 35 GB overage at $2 per GB is a $70 charge on a $9 plan. Your best sales month becomes your worst app bill. On Fulfile the same month costs exactly your flat plan price: $0, $19, or $39, with files up to 10 GB and nothing metered.

| Bandwidth | Never metered, no overage fees, ever | 1 GB (Free) to 200 GB (Growth) per month, then $1 to $2 per GB overage |
| Storage | No cap | 100 MB (Free) to 10 or 20 GB on mid tiers; unlimited on Growth ($54.99) |

| License keys | Yes, one key per order from a per-product pool, on every plan | Not advertised on the listing |
| PDF watermarking | Yes (Pro): buyer name, email, and order stamped at download | Not advertised on the listing |

Most delivery setups cap downloads at the order level: one shared budget across every file in the purchase. Sell a 10-file bundle with a 3-download cap and an honest buyer can lock themselves out of most of what they paid for, which lands in your support inbox. Fulfile counts the limit per FILE, so each file has its own budget. Buyers also help themselves: expired links renew on the download page, and anyone who loses the email can re-send every purchase from fulfile.app/recover. Per-file budgets are not something Sky Pilot advertises; they are the reason Fulfile exists.
Honesty cuts both ways: if streaming video to customers inside your store is the product (courses hosted as streams, watch-only content), Sky Pilot’s Growth plan does that today and Fulfile does not. It is also a mature app with 405 reviews at 4.8 stars. If your product is files the customer downloads and keeps, the metering is the tax you pay for features built for a different job.

Does Sky Pilot charge for bandwidth?
Yes. Per their Shopify listing (July 2026), plans include 1 GB to 200 GB of bandwidth per month, and overages cost $1 to $2 per GB depending on plan. Fulfile does not meter bandwidth or storage on any plan.
Is video streaming included in every Sky Pilot plan?
No. Per their listing (July 2026), streaming is included on the Growth plan at $54.99 per month. Fulfile focuses on delivery and downloads, with free audio previews that never consume a download.
Does Fulfile have a free plan?
Yes: 3 products, per-file download limits, license keys, and files up to 10 GB, with nothing metered. Sky Pilot's free plan includes 100 MB of storage and 1 GB of monthly bandwidth (July 2026).
What makes per-file download limits different?
Each file in an order gets its own download budget, so a buyer of a 10-file bundle can never lock themselves out of files they paid for by re-downloading one of them. Per-file budgets are not an advertised Sky Pilot feature; Fulfile is built around them.
How hard is it to switch?
About 15 minutes for a typical catalog: install Fulfile free, link your Shopify products, bulk-upload the same files (up to 10 GB each), set limits and expiry, and send yourself a test delivery. New paid orders deliver through Fulfile immediately.
A good sales day should just be a good sales day.
Flat pricing, per-file limits, 10 GB files, license keys, and a real free plan. Nothing metered, ever.
