The best blog app for Shopify depends on who does the writing

Which is the best blog app for Shopify? It depends on who writes. Bloggle, AI SEO Blog Writer and BlogSEO, compared from their own listings.

Written by Tilly. Tilly is one of the apps on this page, so read it knowing that.

How this list was put together

The best blog app for Shopify depends on one question: are you writing the posts, or do you want them written? Bloggle helps you design and write them; AI SEO Blog Writer and BlogSEO write them for you. All three are read from their own Shopify App Store listings below.

How this list was put together: none of these apps was installed and tested for this page. Each was read from its own listing on the Shopify App Store, and every plan, price and rating below is quoted from it on the day it was checked.

Tilly's SEO agent also writes blog posts for Shopify, so Tilly is one of the options here. It is described after the three apps, with its own prices, and the comparison is written knowing that.

Bloggle logoBloggle

Bloggle is a blog app for Shopify built around design: its listing describes a drag-and-drop blog editor with no coding, and pre-built sections for a table of contents, an FAQ and an author bio. source, checked 9 October 2026

It starts at $19.90 a month with a free trial, and its listing showed a 4.9 rating on the day it was checked. source, checked 9 October 2026

Watch out for the part it leaves to you: an editor makes a post look right, but deciding what to write and writing it is still your job.

AI SEO Blog Writer logoAI SEO Blog Writer

AI SEO Blog Writer lists a free plan of 3 articles a month, and says it adds internal links automatically to the posts it writes. source, checked 9 October 2026

For a store testing whether blogging is worth it at all, a free allowance of a few posts is a low-risk way to find out.

Watch out for the free plan's limit of 3 articles a month, which is fewer than one post a week. source, checked 9 October 2026

BlogSEO logoBlogSEO

BlogSEO's listing says it publishes SEO blog articles to your Shopify store daily without manual work, and connects you with other sites to exchange backlinks. It is $97 a month with a free trial. source, checked 9 October 2026

Watch out for two things: any link exchange is worth reading against Google's spam policies on link schemes before you join it, and daily publishing without a person reading each post is how stores end up with pages that say nothing. source, checked 9 October 2026

Tilly logoTilly's SEO agent: researched posts you approve

Tilly sits between an editor and an autopilot. Its SEO agent picks what to write from the questions your customers ask, reads the live web and keeps only findings with a source, writes in your brand voice with an FAQ, and links each post to 3 to 8 of your own products, collections, posts and pages, each one checked.

Every post scores itself out of 100 on fixed checks you can open, and goes to your Shopify blog only when you press Publish, as a hidden draft unless you choose live. A post is 15 credits, and a cover or illustration 5 more each.

It is not the right pick if you want a post every day without reading them: nothing Tilly writes is published without your approval.

How to choose

If you or your team write the posts, pick for the editor: sections, layout and how the post looks on a phone. If nobody has time to write, pick for the writing: where the facts come from, whether posts link to your own products, and whether a person approves each one before it goes live.

Shopify blog apps that publish without anyone reading the post are the riskiest choice, because a page that says nothing helps no reader and no ranking. The best blog app for Shopify for most stores is the one whose posts you would be happy to put your name to.

Questions people ask

Do I need a blog app for Shopify at all?

No. Shopify's built-in blog is enough to publish posts. A blog app Shopify stores add either makes posts easier to design or writes them for you, and neither is required.

Which blog Shopify app is free?

Will AI blog posts hurt my store's SEO?

Posts that answer a real question with real information help; posts written only to fill a schedule do not. Read each one before it goes live, and check that every fact in it has a source.

Can Tilly publish to my Shopify blog?

Yes, when you press Publish on an approved post. It goes in as a hidden draft unless you choose live, with its search title, description and links in place.

How is a blog app different from an SEO app?

An SEO app checks and fixes the pages you have; a blog app adds new ones. SEO apps are compared on the SEO tools shortlist.

How often should a Shopify store publish blog posts?

As often as you can publish something worth reading. One useful post a month that answers a real buyer question does more than a post a day that says nothing. Start with the questions in your reviews and customer emails, and keep going while there are unanswered ones.

What should the first posts on a store blog be about?

The questions people ask just before they buy: how to choose between two of your products, how to use one, whether it suits them. Each post should link to the product that answers its question, so a reader who arrives from search has somewhere to go next.
