Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureStitchFast converts artwork into embroidery files without manual digitising. Upload a PNG or JPG logo, choose the format your machine reads (DST, PES, JEF, EXP or VP3), set the design width, and download a zip containing the stitch file and a thread colour key. Adjust fill density, stitch length, pull compensation, underlay and colour count when a design needs it, or use the defaults.
TrueStitch turns any product into personalized embroidery. Customers type their text and watch real stitches appear on your product photo — the preview and the machine file share one source, so what they see is what you sew. Every paid order arrives in your production queue with the customer's text, a stitch preview and a production-ready machine file. No manual digitizing, no back-and-forth e-mails.

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 1, 2026 for StitchFast, Oct 13, 2026 for TrueStitch. 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.
