Frequently asked
How is Modulo different from Section Star?
Both provide native theme sections. The main difference is the model: Modulo is one subscription that includes its entire section library plus storefront blocks and bundling, whereas Section Star is a marketplace where you buy sections individually. Match the specific sections you need before deciding.
Can I keep Modulo's sections if I cancel?
Modulo's sections render while the app is installed, since they're part of the app rather than one-time purchases. In exchange you get the full library, conversion blocks, bundling, and ongoing updates under one subscription.
Do I need a separate app for bundles?
No. Bundling is built into Modulo, so you don't need to add a separate bundling app alongside your sections.
