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.
Sell Smart Price Optimization finds underpriced products you can charge more for, and tells you when you shouldn't. It determines each product's most profitable price level based on your costs and your customers' willingness to pay based on your previous sales. Simulates the expected profit, revenue, and volume at any price. New and slow-moving products get usable prices from day one.
