FAQ

CleanTheme and ThemeTrace: common questions

Is CleanTheme or ThemeTrace cheaper?
Only ThemeTrace lists a free plan. Shoplist compares base prices only between monthly plans in the same currency; usage charges and annual plans vary, so check each plan’s limits.
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 Jun 10, 2026 for CleanTheme, Oct 13, 2026 for ThemeTrace; 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 Jun 10, 2026 for CleanTheme, Oct 13, 2026 for ThemeTrace. 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.
