How it sells itself

CostPulse scans products, variants, and recent orders to show which sales have unknown gross margin because costs are missing. Merchants can enter temporary costs for a scan, reveal negative-margin orders, and export issues to CSV for cleanup.

OptionPulse reads public custom attributes on recent order line items and groups them by product, option, value, and combination. Use date and product filters to focus the report, then export the visible option-value table to CSV. Internal or empty attributes are excluded. Raw orders and option values are processed for the active analysis and are not stored.

Key points
  • Find variants with missing product costs
  • See revenue with unknown gross margin
  • Flag low-margin and negative-margin orders
  • See custom option demand grouped by product, option, and value
  • Find frequently selected option combinations
  • Filter the report by product and recent date range
  • Export the visible option-value report to CSV

FAQ

CostPulse and OptionPulse: common questions

Is CostPulse or OptionPulse cheaper?
Paid plans start at $29/month for CostPulse and $29/month for OptionPulse. 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?
CostPulse lists 1 the others don’t mention, such as Custom reports. 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.
