AltKing: AI Alt Text SEO & ADA vs TinySEO (2026): which should you pick?

Pick AltKing: AI Alt Text SEO & ADA if

• Fits if your Shopify catalog has hundreds of product images with no alt text
• Works for stores that already use StarApps' Variant Image Automator

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if your store isn't on Shopify, as it installs only from the Shopify App Store
• Watch out: despite AI in its name, the listing describes alt text built from templates, not written by AI
• Too light for meta tags, schema, sitemaps or redirects, as it covers product image alt text only
• Watch out: variant details in alt text need Variant Image Automator, another StarApps app
• Watch out: the listing links no help center or FAQ, so questions go to StarApps support

Pick TinySEO if

• Fits if heavy product images are slowing your Shopify store down
• Works for merchants wanting image, speed and SEO fixes in one app

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you stay free, as it stops at 50 images and 10 AI credits a month
• Pricey if you go past your allowance, as extra images are billed one by one
• Watch out: redirects, minification, IndexNow and llms.txt start at Advanced, $23, and Search Console insights at Expert, $49
• Watch out: it was renamed from TinyIMG in July 2026, and the Shopify listing is now Tiny SEO Speed Image Optimizer
• Skip it if your store isn't on Shopify, as it runs nowhere else
