Avada SEO Suite vs IndexGPT: AI SEO for ChatGPT (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Avada SEO Suite if

• Fits if you want an SEO checklist for a Shopify store with the fixes applied for you
• Works for stores with slow themes and lots of images

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you stay free, with 100 images and 20 page audits
• Pricey if you want critical CSS or the AI audit agent, which need Enterprise at $99 a month
• Watch out: the trial charges when it ends, and cancelling mid-cycle still bills the full period
• Watch out: keyword research needs Pro, and extra AI credits are packs from $5.99 for 500
• Skip it if your store isn't on Shopify, as it runs nowhere else

Pick IndexGPT: AI SEO for ChatGPT if

• Fits if you want your Shopify store set up for shoppers asking ChatGPT what to buy
• Works for owners who want llms.txt, IndexNow and schema handled from one app

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if your store isn't on Shopify, as it installs only from the Shopify App Store
• Not for you if you want time to try it, as there's no free plan and the trial is 3 days
• Pricey if you want prompt tracking, the schema builder or AI posts, which need Premium at $45 a month
• Watch out: only Enterprise, at $345 a month, lists unlimited credits, and limits on the other plans aren't stated
