Why Shopify merchants check a competitor’s apps
Most of what makes a competitor’s Shopify store feel polished is apps: the review widget under the product, the pop-up that captures emails, the upsell in the cart drawer, the chat bubble, the subscription option. The Shopify app detector names those apps for any public store, so you stop guessing which review app or upsell app they picked and can try the same stack yourself.
Pair it with the Shopify theme detector to see the theme those apps sit on, and with the winning ads spy to see how they bring shoppers to that page. If you want their full product list and prices next to the apps, the Shopify product exporter downloads it as a spreadsheet.
The detector reads the storefront a shopper sees. Apps that only run inside the Shopify admin — accounting, inventory, shipping labels — never load on the public page, so they don’t show. Everything that touches the sale does.
A Shopify app detector is how merchants reverse a competitor’s selling stack without opening their admin. Reviews under the buy button, the email pop-up, the cart upsell, the chat bubble, subscriptions, and loyalty points are almost always apps. Naming them — Judge.me, Loox, Klaviyo, Rebuy, Gorgias, Recharge, and the rest — lets you open the same Shopify App Store listing, compare the price, and decide whether that piece belongs on your store.
Run it on a product page, not only the homepage. Subscription widgets, size charts, and review apps often load on the product and stay quiet on the home page. After the list, use the Shopify theme finder for the theme those apps sit on, and the Shopify CRO Audit to see whether the stack actually helps the sale.
How to use the app detector
- Paste a store URL. A product page is better than the homepage.
- Read the list and group the apps by job: reviews, email, upsell, chat, subscriptions.
- Open the App Store listing for any app you want to understand.
- Run a second page, such as a collection, if an app you expected is missing.

Shopify app questions merchants ask
How to see a competitor’s Shopify apps, which apps show up, and what to do once you know.
How can I see what apps a Shopify store is using?
Paste the store URL into the Shopify app detector above and click Detect apps. You get a list of the apps running on the storefront with logos and Shopify App Store links. Any public Shopify store works — homepage, collection, or product page.
Which Shopify apps does the detector recognise?
Reviews (Judge.me, Loox, Yotpo, Okendo, Stamped), email and SMS (Klaviyo, Omnisend, Attentive, Postscript), upsells and bundles (Rebuy, ReConvert, Bold), chat and support (Gorgias, Tidio, Shopify Inbox), subscriptions (Recharge, Skio), loyalty (Smile, LoyaltyLion), pop-ups, and many more storefront apps.
Can I tell which app a competitor uses for reviews or upsells?
Yes. That is the most common reason merchants run it. The result shows the exact review app, upsell app, or pop-up app on the page, so you can open the same App Store listing and compare pricing and features.
Does the Shopify app detector show every app installed on the store?
It shows the apps that load on the storefront — the ones shoppers interact with. Apps that only live in the Shopify admin, such as accounting, inventory, or shipping apps, leave nothing on the page and stay hidden.
Why is an app I know they use missing?
Either it only runs in the admin, or it only loads on a page you didn’t check — for example a subscription widget that appears on a product page but not the homepage. Try a product page URL from the same store.
Will the competitor know I checked their apps?
No. The detector reads the public page like a normal visitor. Nothing is installed, nothing is logged in, and nothing appears in their admin.
What should I do after I see a competitor’s apps?
Check whether their stack actually sells: run the Shopify CRO Audit on their product page, then look at the ads they run. Copy the apps that support a conversion you can see, not every app on the list.
Is the Shopify app detector free?
Yes. No account, no app to install, no limit on stores you can check at a reasonable pace. Paste a URL and get the apps in a few seconds.
Can the Shopify app detector find Klaviyo, Judge.me, or Rebuy?
Yes, when those apps load on the public storefront. You get the app name, logo, and a link to the Shopify App Store listing so you can compare reviews and pricing.
Does it show Shopify apps that only run in the admin?
No. Accounting, inventory, and shipping-label apps never appear on the page a shopper loads, so they stay hidden. The detector is for the apps doing the selling: reviews, pop-ups, upsells, chat, subscriptions, and loyalty.
How do I compare a competitor’s Shopify app stack to mine?
Run your store and theirs. Note the review app, the email app, and the cart upsell. Keep the ones that support a conversion you can see on their product page, and skip the rest. The CRO Audit shows whether that page converts cleanly.
Will a Shopify app detector slow down the store I check?
No. It reads the public page the way a browser does. Nothing is installed on their theme and nothing is added to your store.
What should I check after I know their Shopify apps?
The theme with the theme finder, the ads with the winning ads spy, and the prices with the product exporter. Apps explain the page. Ads and prices explain the offer.
