Best Appifyfor Shopify appsBest Appifyfor Shopify appsSaaS Insights is a Shopify Partner analytics tool — built around MRR, churn and cancellation reasons — with a free plan that lasts until you reach $2.5k MRR. The honest split is Partner-first analytics on their side, App Store intelligence and marketing surfaces on ours.
SaaS Insights is a Partner-first analytics tool. Its pricing page offers “Use SaaS Insights for free until you are earning 2.5k per month” and a single paid tier at “$49 USD / month” (or $490/yr with two months free). The feature list on the homepage leads with MRR, ARR, ARPU, subscribers, installers, uninstalls, usage charges, trials, customer journeys, cancellation reasons and trial conversion — Partner-connected metrics first, App Store rank tracking second. If the first question you ask every day is “what’s my MRR and why did someone churn?”, they are plainly ahead on that shape.
BestAppify is the broader marketing platform. A public keyword directory anyone can read without a login, review intelligence and listing audits, competitor watch, forum mentions, AI visibility tracking, a REST API and 63 MCP tools, plus cold outreach, book-a-demo and research calls in the same login. Growth at $29/mo is $20/mo cheaper than their paid plan, and includes competitor watch and review intelligence that saasinsights.com does not advertise.

If you are leaving Hey Mantle, their named migration path with a 30% discount is a real reason to pick them. If no one on the team needs competitor watch, review intelligence, a REST API, an MCP server, or outreach and research calls, you can stop reading.
If you want competitor watch, review intelligence, listing audits, forum mentions, AI visibility tracking, a public keyword directory, a REST API and 63 MCP tools, and marketing surfaces (cold outreach, book-a-demo, research calls) sitting next to the rank tracker — BestAppify is the broader platform. At $29/mo Growth is $20 cheaper than SaaS Insights' paid plan; at $99/mo Pro adds Partner revenue, which SaaS Insights includes from Free.
