Head to head
Standard
Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureShoppers open your store, then drift to another tab and forget you're there. Tab-Back Grabber calls them back: when a visitor switches away, it changes your tab title to a message you choose and can turn the favicon into a notification badge. When they return, the title and favicon are restored. Personalise messages with cart-count, product and shop-name tokens, rotate them, add a delay, or show once per visit.
TabBadge adds a notification-style badge to your store's browser tab favicon showing the number of items in the cart. The badge appears instantly when items are added, with a smooth bump animation. It updates in real time as items are added or removed. When customers switch tabs, the badge blinks to remind them about items in their cart. Customize badge color, position (4 corners), blink and animation toggles. Free.
