How it sells itself

MerchantDeck AI reviews your catalog and store setup to surface practical growth opportunities. Run full-store or focused audits, review prioritized recommendations, approve or reject suggested actions, and keep an audit history for ongoing improvement. Automated monitoring helps teams catch issues early without replacing merchant control.

Paceloop analyzes 90 days of data to provide a concrete growth plan, replacing endless checklists with 1-3 high-impact actions. Pressure-test any sales target, from realistic to stretch goals, and visualize your sales forecast directly in Shopify.

Key points

  • Launch focused audits for specific growth questions and priorities
  • Review prioritized recommendations before taking action
  • Pressure-test your target against 90 days of real store data before you commit

  • A focused cycle: 1 to 3 weekly behaviors plus a cut list of what to skip
  • Live pace scoreboard: on pace or off, forecasted finish, daily number to beat

Is MerchantDeck AI or Paceloop cheaper?
Paid plans start at $39/month for MerchantDeck AI and $29/month for Paceloop. Shoplist compares base prices only between monthly plans in the same currency; usage charges and annual plans vary, so check each plan’s limits.

MerchantDeck AI lists 1 the others don’t mention, such as Historical analysis. Paceloop lists 3 the others don’t mention, such as Custom dashboards, Forecasting, Report scheduling. 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 13, 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 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.
