Get in front of merchants while they are choosing an app

bestappify.com is where merchants compare Shopify apps before they install one. You can buy a labelled placement in that comparison — a sponsored review, a pinned slot in a category, or a whole category for a quarter. $500 to $2,000, priced per request.

Nothing is owed until you accept a quote.

What you can buy

Prices are a band, not a menu. A review of a niche B2B app is not the same job as one for a checkout upsell with 40,000 reviews, so you tell us what you want and we come back with the real figure.

Featured placement

$500–$900

A pinned slot at the top of the category listings merchants browse

  • Pinned card above the ranking on one category page for 30 days
  • Your icon, tagline and a 40-word blurb we write with you
  • Direct link to your App Store listing with UTM tracking
  • Monthly report of views and clicks on the placement

Shown as a labelled Sponsored card. The ranking below it is unchanged — we do not move editorial positions for money.

What money does not buy

It does not buy a position in the rankings. Those come from our App Store crawl — review volume, ratings, pricing, listing changes — and they are the reason merchants read the site at all. A paid placement is an additional, labelled slot above the list; the list underneath stays exactly as the data left it, and it carries no position number, so nobody can mistake it for “#1” at anything.

Everything we publish for you is marked Sponsored where a reader sees it before reading, and every outbound link carries rel="sponsored". That is required by Google’s spam policies and the FTC’s endorsement guides — and it is in your interest too: an undisclosed paid link is a link scheme, and a penalty would land on the domain you just paid to appear on.

A sponsored review is written from a real walkthrough of your app, not your press kit. We will say what it is good at and who it is not for. You see the draft before anything publishes, and nothing goes live until you have read it — but we do not publish a version that says only what you would like it to say.

Or talk to them directly

Placement buys attention. If what you need is answers — why merchants churn, whether the thing you are building solves a real problem — we book paid 30-minute calls with vetted Shopify operators instead.

Not sure which one fits?

Ask here and we will tell you what we would do — including when the answer is “none of these, yet”. Or request a quote directly if you know what you want.
