Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureRetrace captures Shopify inventory changes for each variant and location. It builds a ledger of orders, refunds, transfers, manual edits, and app-driven stock changes, then flags when Shopify's count no longer matches the tracked record. Open the variant timeline to see where the mismatch appeared, then correct the count in one click.
Trueshelf lists the products and inventory that do not add up. It changes nothing; you decide what to fix. It finds negative quantities, locations where on hand does not equal available + committed + unusable, items set to keep selling at zero, and an empty location while another holds the stock. Not a low-stock alert: it checks that your records agree with themselves.

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 for Retrace, Nov 3, 2026 for Trueshelf. 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.
