You're probably overpaying for apps you forgot you installed.
Most Shopify stores quietly bleed $300–$800+ a month on apps installed for a one-off need and never removed — plus the speed they cost you. We scan your store, tell you exactly which apps to kill, which are worth every cent, and which are cheaper rebuilt natively. Often the savings pay for the audit in the first month.
App sprawl is the silent tax on your store.
It happens to nearly every store. You install an app to solve a problem, the problem passes, the app stays — and the monthly charge keeps hitting your card. Multiply that across a few years and a dozen forgotten subscriptions, and you're funding tools nobody opens. Worse: every one of those apps injects scripts that slow your storefront down, dragging your mobile conversions with it.
Every app on your store sorts into one of four verdicts.
We scan your installed apps, your theme, and your storefront performance — then give you a plain-English ledger. No jargon, no upsell pressure. Just what each app is costing you and what we'd honestly do about it.

Installed-and-forgotten, unused, or redundant. Uninstall and the charge stops. Zero work for us, immediate money back in your pocket. We lead with these.
Value for money — leave it alone
Doing real work, well-supported, fairly priced. A custom rebuild would cost you more over its lifetime than the subscription. We'll tell you straight: this one earns its keep.
Cheaper as custom code
Simple functionality — a sticky cart bar, a countdown, trust badges, a custom field — where a one-time build beats a forever subscription and won't become a maintenance headache. Here's the break-even math.
Three apps doing one job
Overlapping tools you can collapse into one better app, or one build. Fewer subscriptions, fewer scripts, a faster store.
A clear ledger. Not a sales pitch.
Here's a simplified example of the kind of breakdown you'll receive — every app, its monthly cost, our honest verdict, and what it saves you.
*Rebuild/consolidate items involve a one-time build cost — we show you the break-even point so you decide. Example figures only; your actual store will differ.
Stuck on an old theme because you're scared something will break?
You're not wrong to be cautious — and that's exactly why most stores freeze. Once a theme's been customized, Shopify won't just "update" it with a button: your changes have to be carefully re-applied to the new version. Done carelessly, things break. Done properly, you gain speed and features with zero downtime. We do it properly.
What staying frozen actually costs you
- Missed performance gains — newer themes and Online Store 2.0 are faster, lifting mobile Core Web Vitals and conversion.
- Missed native features you're now paying apps to replicate (which ties straight into the app audit above).
- Compounding cost — the longer you wait, the more customizations pile up, and the bigger the eventual update gets.
- Aging code with weaker support and security on very old theme versions.
How we update without breaking your store
We build on a duplicate (staging) theme — never your live one. We re-apply your customizations onto the current theme version, QA every template, test on mobile, and only then swap it live. Your storefront never goes down, and you sign off before anything ships.
You get a report first: how many versions behind you are, what you're missing, what the update costs, and what waiting another year will cost instead.
