How it sells itself

AI assistants like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews are becoming a major source of shopping recommendations, but most stores are invisible to them. AI Ready scans your structured data, product content and metadata, shows a clear AEO readiness score with a prioritized issue list, and fixes gaps like JSON-LD schema in one click. Free plan: full audit, score and trend, 3 fixes.

AI shopping engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI, and Claude now recommend products directly to buyers. If they can't read your store, they can't recommend you. ShelfScore audits the three layers AI engines use: - Bot access (OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot) - Schema markup (JSON-LD against schema.org) - Product data quality (GTIN, descriptions, images, shipping, returns) One score, 0 to…

Key points
  • AEO audit: scores structured data, FAQs, and metadata for AI search readiness
  • One-click fixes: add JSON-LD product schema and AI-readable page content
  • Prioritized issue list showing exactly what blocks AI visibility
  • Re-run audits anytime to track your AEO score as your catalog changes
  • Audit AI crawler access for GPTBot, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI
  • Check JSON-LD schema completeness on every product in your catalog
  • Score product data quality against fields AI shopping engines need
  • Get ranked fixes ordered by recoverable points so you fix what matters

FAQ

AI Ready and ShelfScore: common questions

Is AI Ready or ShelfScore cheaper?
Both list a free plan. Paid plans start at $9.99/month for AI Ready and $49/month for ShelfScore. Shoplist compares base prices only between monthly plans in the same currency; usage charges and annual plans vary, so check each plan’s limits.
What features does each app list that the other doesn’t?
AI Ready lists 1 the others don’t mention, such as AI generation. ShelfScore lists 12 the others don’t mention, such as Audits, Content analysis, Content optimization, Insights and tips. A feature missing from a listing may still be supported; this compares what each App Store listing says.
Where does this comparison’s data come from?
Shoplist crawls Shopify storefronts to detect which apps each store runs, and reads each app’s Shopify App Store listing for reviews, pricing, features and integrations. Store counts are as of Oct 14, 2026; estimated figures are labeled.

How Shoplist compares apps

Store counts come from Shoplist’s crawl of Shopify storefronts, which detects the apps each store runs; they are as of Oct 14, 2026. Reviews, ratings, plans, features and integrations come from each app’s Shopify App Store listing. 28-day figures are labeled when estimated, and a figure that is missing or estimated never decides who leads.
