Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureLighthouse-md turns speed audits into action. One click runs Google Lighthouse on your storefront and translates every failing audit into Shopify terms: theme, images, app embeds. Ask Sidekick why your store is slow and get answers from your own data. Export the fixes as a CLAUDE.md file that Claude Code applies to your theme while you review and publish. Nothing changes on your store until you approve.

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 13, 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.
