The bill follows your orders. Intelligems' plans scale with sitewide order volume, from $69 a month for Smart Content, so a store growing quickly pays more each quarter whether or not it is running more tests. source, checked 25 September 2026

Full coverage is a big step up. Unlimited, which covers every module, starts at $349 a month on the listing, a jump for a store that only needs one or two kinds of test. source, checked 25 September 2026

Some stores mainly need page and theme tests. If price and shipping experiments are not on your list, you may be paying for depth you do not use. source, checked 25 September 2026

Setup takes attention. Intelligems' strength, testing prices and shipping, touches the numbers customers pay, so each test needs care over which products and audiences are in it. Stores without time to manage that often want a simpler page-testing tool first. source, checked 25 September 2026

Each app’s cells come from its own Shopify listing or pricing page, linked beside the words. “Not listed” means we did not find it there, not that the app cannot do it. Tilly’s column is our own product.

Tilly does your Shopify marketing for you. It reads your product pages, your reviews and what customers ask, works out who buys from you and what stops them, and writes for those people: email flows and campaigns, blog posts, SEO fixes, Meta and Google ads, and fixes for the pages that lose you sales.

Everything waits for your approval, then goes where it belongs: emails into Klaviyo as drafts, posts onto your Shopify blog, ads into Meta and Google paused. Every night Tilly reads what each piece earned and writes the next one with what worked, so an ad angle that sells shows up in your subject lines and page headlines too. It also checks every week whether ChatGPT and other AI assistants recommend your store. Plans start at $79 a month, after 100 free credits.

Best for: a store whose open questions are about words and creative rather than prices: Tilly's experiments agent plans and sizes tests of email subject lines and content, Meta ad angles and page copy, writes every test idea and variant from your customers' worries, and calls the winner from the counts you enter.

Watch out for: No price, discount or shipping tests, no profit-per-test reporting, and it does not split traffic itself. If those are why you chose Intelligems, Tilly does not replace it.

Pricing: 10 credits per test including variants; Store plan $49 a month for 500 credits after 100 free credits.

Each figure below is the one the tool publishes on its own pricing page or Shopify listing, linked and dated. Tilly is one of the five.

The second table prices the same store on each app. These apps price by visitors, orders or tested users, so check each calculator for your store. Tilly does not split traffic: it plans the tests, writes the changes and calls the winner, next to a testing app rather than instead of one.

List the tests you actually plan to run in the next three months. If prices, discounts or shipping thresholds are on it, you need a tool built for them, and Intelligems, Shoplift's Advanced plan and Convert all state price testing. If the list is headlines, sections and emails, you do not.

Check what the pricing counts. Intelligems counts orders, Shoplift visitors, Convert tested users and Wingify active users. The same store can be cheap on one and expensive on another; run your own traffic and order numbers through each page.

Look at who writes the variants. Most testing tools give you an editor; the hypothesis and the new copy are still yours. Tilly writes both, which matters most for a store without a designer or copywriter on hand.

Remember traffic limits every tool equally. A store with a few hundred orders a month will wait a long time for any test to reach a reliable answer, and should test big differences rather than small ones.

Finish what is running before you switch. End or conclude live tests in Intelligems first, roll out the winners you want to keep, and write down what each test found. Price and shipping results in particular are expensive lessons; do not lose them in the move.

And keep the rollout separate from the test. A variant that won for one audience, such as mobile visitors from paid social, may not win for everyone. Tools that personalise by segment let you ship the winner only where it won; without that, test again before rolling it out store-wide.
