The caveats
EcomAudience. Not a Shopify audience. The audience is one newsletter's new signups: Amazon sellers, DTC founders and general online business owners alongside Shopify merchants. The platform is only known when the subscriber volunteers it. So you pay the same $4 for someone who will never install an app. Volume is capped by that newsletter's growth: 1,500 to 2,000 new subscribers a month by its own count, partly from paid acquisition. The cost per customer and LTV figures on the pricing page are its own illustrations. The opt-in is one click on a post-signup page, and what happens after it is outside anything they track.
StoreInspect. Nobody is named. There is no company, no founder and no location, and a support address is the whole contact page. That is a lot of trust to give a vendor selling you millions of merchants' contact details. Treat the contact side as your own compliance question. The site says the data is public. That is not the same as saying an outreach campaign built on it is lawful where you or the merchant are. The store counts are self-reported and disagree: 1.9M, 2.3M and 2.4M on its own pages in the same week. The refresh cadence is described as regular without a number, so how current any single record is cannot be checked from outside.
