How it sells itself

When shoppers can't compare your products on your store, they leave to compare them elsewhere, and often buy there too. SpecSide gives every product a clean specification table and side-by-side comparison, built automatically from the product data you already have, including your metafields. No metafields set up? It still works from your descriptions, options, brand and weight.

SpecWise lets you build product spec comparison tables for your storefront. Define spec fields (text, number, yes/no, rating, color, link), add products, and fill in values with inline editing that auto-saves. Display tables on any page or show specs on product pages as a table, list, or cards. Tables automatically inherit your theme's colors and fonts.

Key points
  • Auto-build proposes spec tables from descriptions, options, brand and weight
  • Review and edit every row before publishing, nothing goes live without you
  • Side-by-side product comparison with a differences-only view
  • Server-rendered tables with zero external requests on your product pages
  • Side-by-side comparison tables with 6 spec field types and inline editing
  • Theme extension that auto-inherits your store's colors, fonts, and styling
  • CSV import/export, pre-built templates, and auto-populate from metafields

FAQ

SpecSide and SpecWise: common questions

Is SpecSide or SpecWise cheaper?
Both list a free plan. Paid plans start at $8.99/month for SpecSide and $7.99/month for SpecWise. Shoplist compares base prices only between monthly plans in the same currency; usage charges and annual plans vary, so check each plan’s limits.
What features does each app list that the other doesn’t?
SpecSide lists 3 the others don’t mention, such as Multi-product, Pop-ups, Product page. SpecWise lists 2 the others don’t mention, such as Comparison page, Custom CSS. 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. Read the methodology.
