Side-by-side comparison
| Shopify Magic | Ecomptimize | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | Included in Shopify plans (Basic and up). | From $0.59 / optimized product, no mandatory subscription. |
| Install | Built into Shopify admin. | No install, no app, no access to your Shopify admin. CSV in, CSV out. |
| Platforms | Shopify only. | Shopify, WooCommerce and eBay, same workflow. |
| Bulk rewriting | One product at a time inside the admin. | From hundreds to thousands of products per run, based on CSV. |
| SEO meta fields | Product description generation only. | Title tag, meta description, Shopify SEO / WooCommerce Yoast meta, structured HTML. |
| Review before publish | In-admin live edit, no before / after comparison. | Before / after comparison per field, line-by-line approval, then export. |
| Brand consistency | Per-prompt instructions, no reusable profile. | Reusable brand profiles (voice, tone, banned words, values). |
| Languages | English-first; language coverage varies by feature. | Optimizes in your catalog's own language — never translates. |

- You only sell on Shopify and are comfortable editing one product at a time.
- You mostly need short, in-context writing (a description here, an alt text there).
- You do not need separate SEO meta fields or a structured HTML output.
- You need to rewrite 100 to 10,000+ products in a single run without touching each one in the admin.
- You need real SEO fields — title tag, meta description, Shopify SEO or WooCommerce Yoast meta — generated alongside body text.
- You sell on WooCommerce, or run hybrid Shopify + WooCommerce catalogs.
- You want a true before / after review with line-by-line approval before any export.

Comparison FAQ
Is Shopify Magic going away if I use Ecomptimize?
No. Shopify Magic stays available in your admin. Ecomptimize is a complement for catalog-scale work, not a replacement for in-context assistance.
Will Ecomptimize fields overwrite anything Shopify Magic generated?
Only the fields chosen during processing. If you skip the SEO fields, only the description is modified. The before/after review lets you reject any line that should keep its Shopify Magic version.
Can I use both tools side by side?
Yes — many merchants use Shopify Magic for one-off edits and Ecomptimize for the quarterly catalog refresh or the catalog migration.
Does Ecomptimize support Shopify Plus?
Yes. CSV export and import work identically on Shopify Plus. Multilingual catalogs work the same: one processing per locale.
Is Ecomptimize a Shopify app?
No. Ecomptimize works on CSV exports from any Shopify store, no app install, no Admin API access required. That also means we never touch your live products without your explicit re-import.
