The caveats
Alert Commerce. Its scale figures differ between its own pages: 1M+ stores on About and 1.5M+ on Pricing, 1M contacts on one and 800K+ on the other. It calls itself a private beta while charging $199 a month, with a card required to start the trial. It names no founder or team beyond operators who have sold Shopify apps. It gives no address or jurisdiction for Alert Commerce, Inc. Every alert gives you a named person's email for outreach they did not ask for. So the consent question is yours, not theirs.
CartInsight. It does not visibly answer the question an app vendor buys this category for. Its plugin directory catalogs 9,781 Shopify apps, but that is a list of apps. Nothing on the public site shows the reverse lookup, which stores run a given app, that Store Leads sells with 8,127 tracked apps and install dates. Check it on the free account before anything else. Contacts are also far fewer than stores, 75,000 against 524,047, so most rows arrive with no person attached. Ownership is stated two ways on its own pages, as a business of Ready Innovations Inc., and as a product of Ready, a business of Better Industries Inc., at the same Dover, Delaware mailing address. The Team link in its own footer is dead.
