Navidium vs Route, at a glance
Route is free to install because the customer-paid protection fee funds it. Navidium is a flat monthly plan where you set the fee and decide what happens on every claim.
Ratings pulled from each app's official Shopify App Store listing as of July 2026. "Who decides claim outcomes" is sourced from Route's own Merchant Help Center articles on its claims process and claim status definitions. *The ~1,000+ orders/month figure is reported consistently across multiple third-party reviews, not a number Route discloses on its own pricing page — confirm current eligibility directly with Route.
