Methodology
How the shortlist is built.
Ratings, review counts, pricing, “Built for Shopify”, and category memberships come from the live Shopify App Store listing — the same data merchants see, refreshed daily by Ongoing.AI’s crawler. The shortlist is every active app that shares at least one category with Gelato, ranked by review count and excluding apps from the same developer. Pain points come from review topics on lower-rated reviews of the subject app. “Uniquely known for” is the top topic present in an alternative’s review corpus but not in the subject’s top topics. Snapshot generated .
Find the brands running each.
Ongoing.AI tracks every Shopify brand’s app stack daily. Pull the list of merchants on Gelato, watch them churn off, and reach out the day they install the alternative.
