Audit Shopify apps, track costs, and auto-migrate to savings.
Ecommerce freelancers are locked into Shopify's app ecosystem with rising subscription costs that directly erode their profit margins.
AppAudit scans connected stores for installed apps, calculates true costs including hidden fees, and provides one-click migration guides to free/open-source alternatives or built-in tools. Freelancers get monthly savings reports to share with clients. Built-in cost forecasting prevents budget overruns.
