Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureMost stores guess at prices. PricePulse studies your own sales history to learn how demand for each product responds to price, then shows which products are priced too low, priced too high, or overstocked, and what each fix is worth per month. Every fix is a staged plan: apply the new price and PricePulse detects it, then tracks whether it worked. Products priced right are told to stay put.
