Alternatives to PPSPY
11 tools compete with PPSPY: the same category, or named as a rival. Each difference below comes from details confirmed on the vendors' own sites, and each tool keeps its caveat.
Dropshipper spy tool, with a store explorer and an API behind it.
Free plan, then $39 / $99 / $299 a month
Watch for. It is not built for you, and it is listed for one part of it. Its own homepage says join 130,000+ merchants. The product, the price and the whole library around it are aimed at dropshippers choosing products. So the store explorer comes attached to something else and is priced with it. The order figures are AI predictions, not measured sales, and its own copy says so plainly. So they rank stores and do not report revenue. It names no company, entity or country anywhere on the site. It states that it issues no refunds.
Paste a store URL and get its storefront apps, free and without an account.
Free, no sign-up
Listed here because: same category, named on a vendor's own comparison page.
Details for one of these are not confirmed yet, so no difference from PPSPY is stated.
Watch for. One store at a time and two pages deep. So it answers what a store runs, never which stores run your competitor. A run on allbirds.com returned five apps. No list of detectable apps is published. It exists to sell the Copyfy subscription to dropshippers. The 29,870+ sellers and 4.8 rating on the page are its own figures.
Dropshipper research platform with a 2.4M-store Shopify database and a free app detector.
100 free credits a month, then $9.99 / $29.99 / $99.99 a month, half that billed yearly · by HANDHUNT HONGKONG LIMITED

Details for one of these are not confirmed yet, so no difference from PPSPY is stated.
Watch for. It is not shown to answer the question this category exists for: which stores run my competitor. The app filter is a checkbox for whether a store has apps installed, not a choice of which app. The detector reads one store at a time, with no published method or app list. Every search shows at most 300 results on the free and Basic plans, and 1,000 on Expert. Free accounts cannot export. Sales and traffic are estimates with no method attached. It is built and priced for dropshippers. Refunds are limited to the first purchase within 24 hours.
Ad spy platform whose store explorer filters 5M+ stores by installed app.
$49 / $79 / $249 a month, 15% off quarterly, 40% off yearly

Details for one of these are not confirmed yet, so no difference from PPSPY is stated.
Watch for. The store side is what you would pay for, and it is the least documented part. The app filter is a substring match on app names. There is no published count of apps it recognizes, or of how often a store is rescanned. The revenue figures are estimates with no method attached. Everything else is priced for ad research you will not use. The 500k+ users and 5M+ stores are its own figures. There is a free trial that takes no card. So the app filter can be tested against a competitor whose installs you already know before paying.

Watch for. Monetized by affiliate links, to TikTok, Klaviyo, Zendrop, Printify and NordVPN among others. It also has an affiliate and an ambassador program of its own. So nothing it recommends around the data is neutral. No legal entity, country or person is named anywhere on the site. The sales and traffic figures are estimates published with no method attached. Use them to rank stores, not to quote one.

Details for one of these are not confirmed yet, so no difference from PPSPY is stated.
Watch for. Built by ReConvert Ltd, which sells a post-purchase upsell app to Shopify merchants, now as Upsell.com. The listing says it "may get affiliate commission from installs initiated by the extension", so the apps it points you to can be paid placements. Its Chrome privacy disclosure lists personal, financial, authentication and communication data, with no reason given. No count of detectable apps is published. Like every detector, it only sees apps with code on the storefront.

Details for one of these are not confirmed yet, so no difference from PPSPY is stated.
Watch for. Built for merchants copying a competitor's store, not for app vendors. It answers what one store runs, not which stores run an app. Some of its links are affiliate links, including a Shopify sign-up banner, which it says keeps the site free. The dataset figures are its own, and the monthly app spend is an estimate.

Watch for. New, with 32 Chrome users at version 0.7.2 when checked, and its own site says so. Only the extension is open source.

Like every detector, it only sees apps with code on the storefront.

Watch for. The tool lacks independent customer reviews, making it hard to gauge user satisfaction. There's no transparency about the actual number of customers or companies using the service. Although a founding year is provided, other establishment details like funding or team size are absent. Pricing, while published, might not encompass all potential costs for Enterprise services since details require a sales conversation.
