Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureShopify keeps no version history for your products. When an app, import, bulk edit or AI tool rewrites your store, the activity log says something changed, never what it said. PriorCopy backs up your products, collections, pages, blog posts, menus, URL redirects and metaobjects every night and shows each change word by word.
Your theme vendor keeps shipping fixes and features you already own, but updating usually costs your customizations. Snapty compares the version you installed, the new version and your store, carries your edits across, and asks you only where both changed the same lines. You get an unpublished copy to preview and publish yourself.
- Word-by-word diff of your product copy, not just “something changed”
- Restore in place, so Shopify IDs survive and nothing downstream breaks
- Every re-created record comes with a remap table naming what to repoint
- A recording of your theme every day, with a line-by-line diff of what changed
- Restore one file, or a whole recorded version, into a copy you publish yourself
- Keep custom code outside your theme files, where a theme update cannot reach it

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 Nov 7, 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.
