Head to head
ClearMargin Pro
Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureClearMargin calculates net profit for every Shopify order by deducting cost of goods sold, shipping, handling, packaging, payment processor fees, and refunds. Set costs per product variant or use store-wide defaults. Sync your last 90 days of orders in one click and view profit by day, week, month, and product.
Shopify keeps one cost per inventory item. When you change it, the old value is replaced, so earlier margins stop matching. CostSonar records cost changes from its first check and keeps a dated history. It sorts your catalogue into variants selling below cost, variants with no cost set, and variants on a thin margin. Archived and draft products are skipped. Access is read-only. The app never writes to your store.
