    What merchants praise

    Great support and quick, friendly reply from the dev team! We had a special use case where our in-store customers (via our Shopify POS) needed to reference a metafield for their item's cost (rather than our online item cost). In other words, online cost is $11, and our in-store price is $10 (referenced by a product metafield). The dev team shared exactly how to do it, and we now have a POS tile setup that's easy to use by our employees. Thank you!

    Methodology

    Where the numbers come from.

    Ratings, review counts, pricing tiers, “Built for Shopify”, launch date, and category memberships come from the live Shopify App Store listing — refreshed daily by Ongoing.AI’s crawler. The review-count trajectory is the diff between today’s snapshot and snapshots from 7 and 28 days ago. Topic counts and sentiment come from the review corpus, topic-tagged with Claude. Install footprint is observed via Ongoing.AI’s tech-detection pass against actively-tracked Shopify storefronts. Catalog position is computed at snapshot time against every active app sharing the primary category. Snapshot generated .
