Liftable vs Intelligems
Intelligems is an established A/B testing app for Shopify, best known for testing prices, shipping thresholds and offers with profit-based reporting. It runs live tests on real stores today and has done for years.
Liftable's difference is structural rather than a better version of the same thing: it is meant to decide what to test from your store's evidence and to write the variant, then run and read the test. Today it drafts; it does not yet run live.

Side by side, as of today
The Liftable column says what is built, what is built but has not run on a live store, and what is not built. Read the chips before the prose.

| CapabilityPrice tests | IntelligemsYes. This is what Intelligems is known for. | Liftable todayNoNot a surface in Liftable's product brief. Liftable tests the shipping threshold and the offer, not the price. |

The difference is where the work happens.
Intelligems is a testing tool: it runs the variants you bring and reports on them. Liftable is built to produce the variants from what the store's evidence says is leaking — and to refuse a test that cannot read at your traffic — before any split happens.
How Liftable compares.
Replay tools show you what happened and testing tools split your traffic. Liftable does the work in between, and is new: the last column says what it does today.
| What you need | Replay tools | Testing tools | A CRO agency | Liftable |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shows where shoppers struggle | Yes: recordings and heatmaps | No: it splits traffic you point it at | Yes, by hand | Yes: a free scan, with evidence |
| Puts a number on what a leak costs | No | No | Varies by agency | Yes: an estimated range, with its inputs shown |
| Decides what to fix first | You do | You do | The agency | Liftable ranks it; you approve |
| Does the implementation | You do | You do | The agency | Our founding team, with you |
| Measures the result | No | Yes: split tests | Usually | With the founding team where traffic supports it; automated tests coming |

Questions about Intelligems
Can I run Liftable and Intelligems at the same time?
Not on the same surface at the same time — two tools splitting the same traffic on the same page corrupts both reads. Liftable's guardrails include a cap on concurrent tests per surface, but they only see Liftable's own tests.
Why does Liftable not test prices?
Price is not one of the surfaces in Liftable's product brief — theme, offers, shipping, flows, apps and checkout are. Liftable tests the shipping threshold, the offer and the page around the price. Price tests are the thing Intelligems is best known for.
