Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureShopify does not restore your store content for you. If a product is deleted or a bulk edit goes wrong, the official answer is to rebuild it by hand. StoreArk keeps a version history of your products, collections, pages, blog posts, menus and theme settings, and lets you put any version back yourself. Every restore shows the exact fields that would change first. Pricing is flat.
Schedule daily backups or run one on demand. Completed files are uploaded to your connected Google Drive, so access stays under your Google account controls. Review backup history, export supported data directly, and selectively restore supported resources and images. StoreSafe keeps operational metadata but no separate vendor-hosted copy of completed backup files.

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.
