Shoplift alternatives for Shopify stores

Price testing is not on the entry plan. Shoplift's Core plan covers template, theme and URL tests; price testing starts on Advanced at $399 a month, which is a big step for a store that mainly wants to test prices. source, checked 25 September 2026

Visitors set the price. Plans are based on site-wide monthly unique visitors, and Core covers up to 100k, so a store with a lot of low-intent traffic pays for visitors who rarely buy. source, checked 25 September 2026

Someone still has to decide what to test. Lift Assist can build variants, but choosing the hypothesis, and knowing which customer objection a change should answer, remains the owner's job. source, checked 25 September 2026

The upper plans are a jump. Advanced is $399 a month and Pro $999; stores that only need a few extra features can find the step from Core steep. source, checked 25 September 2026

Figures come from each tool's own pricing page or Shopify App Store listing, linked in the table with the date read. Where a listing showed no reviews, none are shown. Tilly wrote this page and is on the list.

Best for: a store that needs the test ideas and the copy as much as the testing: Tilly's CRO agent finds problems on your pages, ties each to a customer objection, writes the fix on a preview theme, and the experiments agent tests it, along with email and Meta ad variants.

Watch out for: No theme swaps, no price tests and no template-level testing. Stores whose testing programme is mostly those should keep a specialist.

Pricing: CRO audit 20 credits, each fix 10, each test 10; Store plan $49 a month for 500 credits after 100 free.

Decide what you want to test first. Theme and template tests point to Shoplift; price and shipping tests to Intelligems or a plan that includes price testing; page copy, emails and ads to Tilly; many sites and heavy analysis to VWO or Convert.

Then check how each counts you. Visitors, orders, tested users and active users give very different bills for the same store. Put your own monthly numbers into each pricing page before comparing.

Be realistic about traffic. Every testing tool needs enough visitors and orders to reach a reliable answer. A small store is better served by fewer, bolder tests, and by fixing obvious problems without testing them at all.

Finally, think about who writes the variant. If the answer is nobody, choose a tool that writes it, or budget time for it; an empty testing tool teaches nothing.

Finish or stop live tests before moving. Apply the Shoplift winners you want to keep to your live theme first, so the next tool starts from the version customers are actually seeing, and keep a note of what each test showed.

If you use Shoplift's theme testing for a rebrand, plan that as a one-off project rather than a reason to keep a subscription. Many stores test a new theme once, apply the winner, and then need page-level tests far more often than theme-level ones.

Use the free trials on a real question. Shoplift and Intelligems both give 14 days, Convert 15 and Wingify 30. Pick one page and one change you genuinely want an answer on before starting a trial, so the trial ends with a result rather than a half-built setup.
