Compare · A/B testing for Shopify themes and templates
Liftable vs Shoplift
Shoplift is an A/B testing app for Shopify that tests themes and templates, with suggestions for what to test and audience targeting. It runs live tests today.
Liftable starts one step earlier: a crawl of your store that prices what each opportunity costs, and a draft of the fix. Measurement comes last, not first, and Liftable's test runtimes have not run on a live store.

The difference is where the work happens.
Shoplift tests the theme change you choose, with suggestions along the way. Liftable is built to price every opportunity in dollars a month from your store's evidence, draft the change across theme, offers, shipping and flows, and refuse the tests that cannot read — before splitting anything.
How Liftable compares.

Questions about Shoplift
Shoplift also suggests what to test. What is different?
The price tag. Liftable's scan attaches a dollars-a-month figure and the formula behind it to every opportunity, and ranks by value per day of testing, so the queue is ordered by what it costs you rather than by what is easy to test. Whether Liftable's suggestions are better than Shoplift's has not been measured.
