## Description

The most ambitious of the Mantle replacements. Hosting with webhooks, logs and secrets managed for you. A plan builder wired into Shopify Billing. A CRM built around the stores using your app. Automations, emails, affiliates and reports. App Store analytics, keywords and reviews as one module. One price per app, every feature on every plan, hosting included.

## Watch for

Moving to it means moving your app's hosting, not only your data. A wide product scope from a new team that also runs a Shopify agency. It was in closed early access until October 2026 and now offers a 14-day trial.
